How Often Should You Post In Your Blog

How soon after you start a blog until it begins to become
work to keep it up? We all lead busy lives, and unless you
blog full time for a living, keeping your blog current can
be a real chore some time. So here is one of the most asked
questions when it comes to blogging.

How often should I post in my blog? Another way to put it
is how little can I get away with posting! This is why it
is so important to start a blog on a theme that you have a
passion for or an expertise in.

It never seems like work if you enjoy it. But even that can
not make up for the time it takes to blog on a regular
basis. If you are busy with your life blogging can be easy
to forget.

I looked at the blogs of 3 famous internet marketing gurus.
Ewen Chia, Rosalind Gardner, and Darren Rouse. Ewen is the
top affiliate in just about every program he is in.
Rosalind is the author of "The Super Affiliate Handbook"
and earns big bucks with affiliate marketing, and Darren is
the owner of ProBlogger.net, the most visited blog on the
internet.

At EwenChia.com we find a landing page that promotes a free
ebook if you sign up for it. He is capturing names and
following up from that. But he also has a couple of
prominent links to his blog. When you go to it you see he
has not posted a new article in almost 2 months.

WOW that is amazing to me. If blogging is so important how
is he #1 in all of the programs.

Next we look at Rosalind Gardners' Netprofits.com blog. Her
website is a full blown portal site about internet
marketing and affiliate marketing. Her blog is linked off
of her home page and is updated fairly regularly.

It looks like she posts when she has something to offer.
Usually about 2-3 times a week. This is much better, but it
is still not daily or even several times a day.

Darren owns Problogger.net which is an authority blog on
the topic of blogging. He incorporates material on blogging
and making money among other things. He post several
articles per day to his blog. When he goes on vacation or
is going to be off for a while he always has a guest
blogger.

Here is what is would guess about these 3 brilliant
marketers.

- Ewen relies on pay per click advertising and only blogs
to support what he teaches in the internet marketing
material he sells. He is a master of getting traffic in
other ways besides blogging or even article marketing.

- Rosalind is big on pay per click advertising as well. She
blogs to build her list and keep it informed about what is
going on. Her blog is high traffic because she does not do
much email marketing other than to refer people to a blog
post he made. She probably has a very large mailing list
that subscribes to her newsletter.

- Darren blogs and blogs and blogs. It is what he does and
what he is known for. His traffic is there to learn how to
blog and make money blogging. He has a very impressive blog
as you would expect.

So what does that mean to you and how often should you
should post in your blog? It depends on the type of blog
you have.

For sure if your blog is a large part of you business you
need to blog several time per week. If it is a new blog you
should blog daily or more often to start. Then you can blog
less often after that. Maybe even weekly or a couple of
times per week.

If you get traffic to your website from ways other than
blogging than you can get away with posting weekly or even
a couple of times per month. You just need to post some
when you have something to say.

The answer to this question really comes down to the type
of blog you have, how old it is, and how you use it. I
still say that if your blog is on a theme that you have a
passion for you will blog on a consistent basis because it
is fun to do. And that will be often enough.
