I remember asking someone a while back how often I should post on my blog and the answer I got was as often as possible!

Until recently I was posting on my mommy blog maybe once a week, and yes I was getting some nice traffic... but now I have upped my game big time, I am posting myself every day and if anyone orders a guest post on my mommy blog then I publish that too...

So the last week I have posted at least once a day, with 2 posts yesterday and today.

The results have been amazing and I can't wait to see what happens if I continue like this!

Hi Lynne,

I would say that it depends also on the results you are getting.
For a reasonable timeframe, if you are making the same money posting everyday vs posting once a week, than it is not worth it.
If you are making just 50% more, you should ask yourself if it is worth it, because, even if you post on the week days (5 days) and not only once a week, it is 400% more effort for just 50% more money.
You may also want to schedule your posts, doing 3 posts on Monday and not having to do on Tuesday and Wednesday for example (not being overwhelmed if you are asked to do guest posts on those days), you can save some time and effort.
On the other hand, if you are having success, you can leverage your results (posting more than once a day) or at least maintaining what you are doing now.
Some relevant affiliate links can be helpful as well.

Wish you good luck with your mummy blog ;)

Thanks Clerkboy3

Yes you have highlighted a really important factor there, how much traffic you are receiving does not equal the amount of money you are getting for sure!

Yes I've been adding in some affiliate links, but most of my income comes from sponsored blog posts which is a lovely income... Depending on the post and what the specs are I get about $200 a post, so yes I am making some nice money that way and of course the more traffic on my blog and the better my rankings the more I will be able to charge and right now that is my goal.

I want to be able to charge a monster amount for a sponsored blog post

Congratulations, going up to $200 is awesome, especially if your blog is new

Some people struggle to find $50 posts, $200 is surely an excellent start

Thanks

I am only charging $5 now and my website is DA26... I have had my website for 4 years but it was an online store, so my blogging only came a little later and I closed my online store in February this year to blog and that took a bit of time to sort out. I am now on a big time blogging mission

So I am sure I will be able to charge more very soon, I just wanted to get things pumping for now.

Good for you. The more regular you are, and the more frequently you post, it seems that the better it is. This is especially important in the case of blogs where there is a more personal touch and a sort of relationship with followers.

Has your organic traffic increased a lot? If it did good for you, I think you found the right recipe, keep it up and see where it gets you. Depending on the niche it can eventually stop increasing in traffic, once you notice such a thing happen maybe post once a week a very big piece of content.

Google knows that only one author can't possibly write a lot of content and keep up the high quality. For a few years now I've noticed a shift in Google, it started to prefer (for one author blogs) longer content posted once a week rather than daily content.

Whatever you do stay natural, if you feel natural writing every day, by all means, do that. But once you start forcing content that's when things will eventually take a turn to the worst.

Blog posting frequency depends on mainly regularity and consistency in regularity. If you post once a week, that is fine. If you post daily, you should keep doing the same.

However, posting daily and then abstaining altogether for a week or two and restarting it again with 2 to 3 posts a day will repel both people and search engine bots. If your blog is new and have few audience, posting 3 to 4 posts is considered spam.

If your work is paying off is it appears, then I see no reason why you shouldn't capitalize on it and make more post, which definitely generates more traffic on your blog.

When I was into blogging, my quota is once a week at the least. Take note that I was just a co-blogger. But it is all right if I would submit 2 or even 3 blogs in a week as long as they have passed the standard of our blog. With that frequency of at least once a week, the regular readers will have a reason to go back for more reading. So maybe twice a week of posting is much better for the benefit of the readers.
