Should You Post Every day and Update Content?
If a webpage's content changes often, it earns a higher freshness score than one that only changes a few times a year. Another indicator of relevancy for Google is an increasing number of links to that webpage from other sites. Your page's freshness score increases when you receive a link from a site with high freshness.
The answer is "maybe." It's hard to say, but content freshness is a significant aspect of Google's algorithm. It should motivate website owners to update their content, keep it functional, and make it relevant for users.
It doesn't necessarily increase rankings, but it can positively affect them. Read on to learn more about this ranking factor and how to improve it on your website.
If your website is a couple of months old, it will rank higher than a few days old pages. However, content just a few days old can still get higher visibility. It's important to remember that freshness is just one of the hundreds of factors that Google looks at. The more relevant your content, the better it will rank for a specific query.
I have a question, regarding this "Make a habit of going to 6 months or older posts and polishing and updating them, then resubmitting them to Google Search Console to be crawled again."
I thought google search console is for the whole website and no need to submit it again for every post? Can you help me more with this, please? Thanks a lot!

Like last week I wrote an in-depth review on online crafting courses, and including the research and such, it took me three days to get it well written, look for good images, have nice call-to-action- buttons, do the SEO, publish on all social media, etc.
Also I had to get some traffic for a new video, come up with a good text for that video, write a new newsletter, start thinking about the next blogpost, do that research, etc.
If I can manage 2 new blog posts per week, that is a lot for me.
Am I doing too much to make it 'perfect' and of good quality?
What I also do is check out the competition that is ranking high on the same topic, and try to do better than them, answering even more questions than they do. And maybe this is why it is taking me so much time :-)
How you guys manage 3 or more new posts per week,is amazing to me, fantastic!
That floored me and REALLY opened my eyes to the amount of work I should be doing updating my own posts to keep the information relevant.

This is one area that I kept missing on doing regularly. It wasn't until I scheduled it for every Sunday that it has become a regular task.
