How often do you post?
Do you post (or feel it is necessary to post) everyday, several times a day, once a week? Quality or quantity?
i agree.
So, a single trip is sufficient to provide the necessities for your blog to stay burning for a quarter of a year (at times)
@Arti: Yours is a travelogue blog, so the quantity you give is sufficient. And so far quality is concerned it's very good. One can see your effort in providing the best information. :)
And I agree about bloggers who write everyday. :)
Shilpa without her trademark signature, are you a Duplicate lol
Anyways, Thanks a lot Shilpa, Yes it takes a lot of time in compiling all the info plus I have to take care that its authentic as well, so cant do more than that
Usually my average posting frequency is 15-16 per month, which means 1 post in 2 days. But that average suffered this month due to the villain- exams. And yes! Quality always matters over quantity. But i'll try to keep up to that in the future with the ideal of quality over quantity in mind.
+1 Xeno. Wonderfully said.
@ The Xeno You are unusual to have awarded a +1 to yourself
How do you get the ideas to keep posting that often?
@Ranjith: (wait did i get your name right.. oh yes i did.) I can do with a bit of self-appreciation.
Well I don't know really it just comes to me. But I'm busy sometimes, and I don't get the time or opportunity to put the day's ideas into physical form - that is when I make it up later, trying to remember what Idea I had.
yeah! +1 Arti.!
I post a new article on my blog every monday, that accounts to four to five new articles per month. If I see the ideas overflowing in me, I let those thoughts take a physical form and preserve them safely.
Quality is what matters over quantity. If we post hundreds of new posts every month only to stay there as a proof to the leisure that we have, what is the use?
@Ranjith:Yes, quality always matters above quantity. But I read a few blogs whose authors write (almost) regularly and quality never seems to be going down. And they are doing good in their professional/personal lives and so we can't say that tons of new posts is a proof of their leisure, rather it's a proof of their knowledge, creativity etc. I feel the reason that they are able to churn out awesome post everyday is that they are excellent writers; they've honed up their skills so much that they just pick up their pen and it never stops, words come flowing onto the paper.
I don't claim to be a hot-shot blogger; rather I don't even come close to be even called a writer, but I also try to write as much as I can. Reason being that writing regularly keep the flow going, vocablary enhances, you learn new things abouts writing, you get to know what genre makes you more comfortable to write in. Yes, many of my writings never see the light of the day as I don't find them worthy of being posted but I do try to write as much as I can as I really really really want to be a better writer :).
The professional blogger usually keep writing something or the other every day. Some of them is a mixture of what they have posted earlier. While a few are guest postings. Occassionally they upload killer articles, that provides all together new content and has teh capavity to go viral. They balance both these things.
The good thing about blogging frequency is that, it is the ONLY factor about blogging that's 100% under your control (also quality is in your control to some extent, but not completely-I'll never be a Steve Pavlina so far as writing style is concerned).
Hence, I post everyday. :D
You must be having too much of free time to keep posting everyday. :-)
At the moment yes. :D I'm enjoying a break between end of studies and beginning of work.
But I vow to continue to post everyday even when I'm working. Hopefully with some commitment I'll be able to do that. :)
This came up in another forum topic about what's important in a blog.
Speaking not so much as a blogger, but as a blog reader, I think posting frequency is important. It doesn't have to be everyday of course, but I am more likely to check blogs that update regularly. If a blogger rarely updates or updates a ton, the content really has to be of the highest quality for me to keep coming back. Either because I'll forget about it during a lag or because there will be so much to read it is overwhelming.
As a blogger, that's a new thing I'm trying to work on. I tend to blog in spurts. I won't write anything for a couple weeks, then I'll write 5 new posts. I use blogspot, which let's me schedule when blogs are posted. So I've started setting them to post over time instead of all at once.
About how often I post, I really dont have any idea or numbers to put forward. There is no limits that I have set for myself. It is all about when I wish to share and what I wish to share. Its entirely a personal thing.
Yes, in this competitive world, I blog for myself and when I wish to share something that is interesting. Being not frequent do lead to a decline in visits, but trust me, I at least have one loyal follower (Avada Kedavara) to be happy about. So Cheers!!
The posting frequency does not matter as long as there are a few loyal followers just like Avada Kedavara. I wish that I had some 100 followers like that and I connect to the net only to make new posts. I wish that day comes sooner in my life. Waiting for it!
Doesn't ur bloggin frequency relate to ur Indiblogger rank/alexa/alexi/pavitra/divya/sonali...etc etc? (internal monologue in process )
But seriously, doesn't ur bloggin frequency relate to ur Indiblogger rank/alexa?
It does R-A-J
But I dont worry too much about my IndiRank. For me, everything at all should matter is visitors who come (or come back) and read and be praising or critical about what and how I write and thats money for me..
Does anyone here know what is the favourite posting frequency of IndiCrawles?
i post on weekends.not so hard and fast but since i have whole day to myself.i try to devote some of it to write.again, i f i dont feel like writting,so be it :)
@ranjith hehehhehehe writting is part of my relaxing routine.so kinda feel relaxed to do that on weekends
My Blog is more towards Technology, and if you don't post frequently, then it'll be a History Blog! It all depends on the writer and the Topic.
Hahaha, yes, poor you!
What a niche you have chosen! But technology blog can host even those articles that are relavent all the time.
