How often should you post a new blog post?

When it comes to getting started in blogging and establishing a new website, everyone wants to know how often you should post a new blog post. The answer to this question I am sure has been shared by many bloggers and this is a very important answer to hear especially for those who signed up here to learn how to make money with their blogs. There is no one clear cut answer but I do want to share with you a few guidelines as far as quantity of posting is concered.

When starting out

When you are new to blogging, I personally recommend that you post only 2-3 times a week. The reason I mention this is because you want to build up consistency before you start putting out more content. So many new bloggers out there make the mistake of going to fast. They put to much content out to soon and then either run out of things to blog about or they just burn out. What ends up happening as a result is they abandon their blog and it never gets any sort of traction.

What you are doing is a marathon, not a sprint. So please pace yourself. Once you are comfortable doing 2-3 times a week, then you can post more content if you wish. But even as you start doing more, still add more at a gradual pace.

Something to keep in mind

While I mention posting only 2-3 times a week as a beginner, it is even better if you post more if not every day ideally. I personally have only been able to post minimally 2-3 times a week, and compared to my fellow bloggers here who have posted more, my success seems a lot smaller compared to theirs. My point is that you get out of this what you put in. I didnt start seeing money from my personal blogging efforts until 15 months in as a result of going at my snails pace. But I did know I would eventually get there, and it hasnt stopped ever since. You don't have to take as long as I did considering I went slow. But understand that in order to get there faster, you will have to do at least a little bit more than I am doing.

So my final answer

The more content you can post on your blog every day, the better for you especially if you are trying to make money. Posting more content allows more pages to get indexed in Google faster as well as ranked faster.

But it is more important to stay consistent. Consistency allows you to not burn out as well as establish a routine. Routines are especially important when you are also working a job on the side while building a blog out.

If you establish a routine and build up to getting more content out there than 2-3 times, you will eventually see success and at a faster rate.

So go out there and produce more content and hopefully more success.
