How often Should I be Writing Blogs Posts for my Site?
It is commonly known, that Google likes to see current content on our sites. But, what does that really mean? How often should we be writing blog posts for our sites?
According to current studies, around half of us write blog posts 2 - 4 times a month and that has been pretty consistent for several years. But is that enough?
According to the same studies, 67% of bloggers who report excellent results for their sites, write content daily. I am not one of those people.
The number of bloggers who write several articles every week, has dropped consistently since 2014.
I think the length of post now, along with how much time it takes to write these longer posts, are the biggest reasons that we don't post content as frequently as previous years.
Personally, I think it really depends on your readers and what you are trying to accomplish on your site, that determines how often you need to blog.
In my humble opinion, I believe if you can post a few articles a week, your readers and Google will be happy and you will have success on your site. This does assume that your content is properly written and solves a problem for your readers.
What do you think about publishing frequency?

I think an average of 3 posts a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) is enough. However, sometimes I go a whole week without a single post, some other times, I do 3 or 4 but now I'm doing 7 a week because I have a content writer doing 5 a week for me and I have all the time to do the remaining 7. We started just a week and a half ago and I'm still waiting for the results.
Sound like most of us, I think. I can write and article a day for a while and then I get burned out. I think it is a good idea to do one every other day or so if possible.
I agree with one every other day. But then life's circumstances butt in and you lose track.
Hey Curtis,
Yikes... I was doing really good up to September 1st... been facing lots of life challenges with adult kids and other situations and went down to publishing 1 article a month.
I was publishing at least 3 articles a week before that. It's been extremely frustrating and then I lost my mojo to get the momentum back.
BUT, I'm not giving up. Challenges are still there but I'm praying lots and know things will get better.
I hope all is going well for you Curtis.

I hear you, life happens. Just never give on your dreams of being financially free. We all know it takes a lot of work, and I get in slumps just like everyone else.
Hang in there and keep trying to at least write one post a week until you can ramp it up again.
Thank you...I'm working on getting my thoughts back to my site... hopefully I'll finally get an article published in a couple of days.
My kids' dilemma now mine, will go for another 4 months. In the meantime, I'm not giving up. Nope...

Hi Curtis, I believe 2-3 times per week and more than 1500 words is needed for success, although i confess that i dont manage to achieve that, Alan.
I think you are right on Alan. And don't worry, you are not alone.
