Blogging Tip for Beginners: Post Often

 
  I get asked this question a lot "How Often Should I Post to My Blog?". My answer : "Often with good content." Now you may ask what is considered often, social media gurus say at least 4 times a week. For real - that may be a lot of writing and posting for you - and I can say- it's for sure too much writing to for me.

 So I say post as often as you can. Once you get the hang of writing, editing and selecting pictures for your blog -then start to post on a schedule- choose days of the week to post certain content. See, I haven't been able to master the schedule thing yet- but I try to post something new on Mondays and another post during the week Wednesday or Thursday. The best thing about most blog platforms - they allow you to schedule your post. 

If you have a few hours durning the weekend I suggest you write up a few articles and then schedule them though out the week. You readers will love the new content and that you are posting more often.

The importance of the "Keep Posting rule" of yours, Michelle, is that the realtime update is beneficial for 1.) Interaction 2.) Relevance and 3.) Value. I stumbled upon your site and you're doing a fine job!
