Today, I had this question from a reader about her daily struggle with ad on her blog:
“Jhonen I am a new blogger and I really believe in all days, but not to follow suit. I find that I take so much time to each item and protecting 7, one week 7-10 clock me (I am writing to you To the “how” bodies of type A). Although I Do not spend too much time in the blogs per week, I have a full-time job, family and society to follow. Do you have any questions? ”
It is a big question, and I know that many bloggers struggle with – especially in the first few days.
A posting rhythm is important to do this – but not that this happens. In this position (and the next future), I would like to see May in the search for the display of your connection.
1st There is no right to display
A false idea that the new Blogger is that it is such a thing as a standard for bloggers, if they do not get a job for all days.
The reality is that there is no timetable, that the show is good for all blogs. For a certain blogs per day is all right for others, the display 20 times per day is ideal, for others it is one or two per week. Ideally based on the number of blog, depends on many factors, including:
• Your question (as on the niche is still on the press, etc.)
• Her style (for example, the display of tutorials can display short ‘news’ posts)
• Time for bloggers (how much time you need for the blogs)
• Your audience (blog readers seem like a lot of points for each day, while others are a bit more meat)
• How to Blogger (a blog with multiple authors can use a larger number of posts)
There is no indication at the optimum for all blogs. The last time that I analysis on the drives Jhonen how many points they have one week, I found that on average, they are 8.9. However, as we see on the map below (with reference to the dissemination of the results of the survey) is the most common response has 5 points per week.
2nd Start slowly and work your way up
My advice to the new Blogger is slower than what you in relation to the hard work on the quality of jobs and then increase over time, the display of your frequencies you’re capable of.
This concept I had with my photography blog. My goal was quality Item 3 mails per week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays). Once I always aim for this a month or when I become a 4th Place in the calendar and then a month later, a 5.
A 5 mails per week (every day of the week), I stopped to raise my allocation of frequencies (I did not support) until a player came up to me and offered to send a summary of the forum on Sunday. I then decided to Saturday, a “reader-question” type day I simply a discussion (quite easy to write once) and suddenly I was at 7 points per week.
This process of creation of jobs for all days gave me more than a year to achieve. More recently, I have set that the writers on the 4 points per week and even writing are weaned off the coast of all. This allows me to concentrate on the growth of other areas of the site in the coming months.
The beauty of this gradual increase of the bodies was that I was able to work to stop and not over extend myself (or the quality of work suffer). The analogy I describe what happens when you train like an athlete for an event long-distance, you do not suddenly starts to run and whether the distance that you run. You need to work through this distance in time, if you and your body to get the distance. Too much too fast, you can burn.
This also means that no abrupt change in the display of the frequency of my readers have to be treated. I doubt that one of them would really change opinions.
3rd Keep your readership response to your publication on
As you increase the ad to pay particular attention to how your readers to answer.
What I found is that in general there is a “sweet spot” where a meeting of blogs is more content. These are sweet spot of blog blog.
Do what your readers to say about your ad on – but also to other signs and signals that we may ask you to the posting (or not enough).
For example, on what your traffic, the days on which you are no longer in days that you do not post (postmark or less).
Another thing is, the numbers of reviews. I think when I post to the number of votes at a reduced, while only item, if I once daily the number of comments go (conversely, if I do not for a few days numbers slowly comment on a post after a day or two signal That my readers are with the topic and you want more).
4th The consistency is important
That is probably more important than the “Make a week, then it is probably a kind of rhythm consistently posting that the reader can assume that the blog. The only time that a reader I never complain about how many bodies I said in my blog is if I suddenly changed things one way or another.
For example, he has been one week two years ago, when I am back with much to say and there were many last-minute segment of the blogs. After my assignment here the frequency Jhonen a quantum leap in comparison to two times per day 4-5 times per day. The readers back because I always producing 2 messages per day, and they were suddenly needed time to digest twice.
The same can occur if you suddenly the frequency of your posting – the reader expect a degree of post and he suddenly disappeared.
If you change your posting frequency into consideration the progressive and / or to explain what happens to your readers.
4 Additional recommendations tomorrow – you have the floor now
This is the first part of a series into two parts on the lookout for your rhythm posters as bloggers. As I started to write this post I noticed that it wanted much to cover in the second half of this item (with 4 other recommendations on the lookout for your blog rhythm) until tomorrow.
At the same time – I would be interested in your deliberations a couple of things.
• First – the number of posts per week do you? Is it your goal or you have the answer to your destination?
• Second – What advice would you in the bloggers on the posting of the frequency and rhythm find your blog?
I am eager to share your thoughts and of my own tomorrow.
