Commit to Posting at Your Blog Regularly

Posted on by Sue L Canfield

commit to posting regularly at your blogOne of your goals this year should be to commit to posting at your blog regularly. How often should that be? It could be daily, weekly, monthly. The important thing is to be consistent. You’ll lose readers if you don’t post regularly.

Over the years I’ve posted daily at times, weekly other times, monthly at other times. When I post daily I see an increase in traffic, comments, and interaction with others. When I’ve been irregular, sure enough, there’s a significant decline in traffic, comments, and interaction.

If you haven’t been blogging much, I suggest you start with once a month and work up to at least once a week. Blogging every single day can become exhausting – especially if you try to do it seven days a week. Give yourself a break!

It’s much more to be consistent than to try to blog more often than you reasonably can.

How often do you post at your blog? I want to hear from you!

Writing Inspiration

Pen and notebook

Have you wanted to write more blog posts or start article writing? Are you holding back because you can’t figure out what to write about? Are you looking for inspiration? Maybe this post can inspire some ideas.

Do you subscribe to business magazines or other periodicals? Check out the covers. The publishers go to a lot of work to create eye-catching covers and article titles. See what catches your eye. It might just inspire you. If a specific title catches your interest, perhaps the information in the article can be converted into a short blog post specific to your niche.

In addition to magazine covers, look around and see if something on a billboard, in a commercial or in a newspaper catches your interest and can be used to create an article for your niche market.

Of course you want to be careful not to just take the article and copy it. You want to create your own unique article or blog post. These are just ways to get ideas and inspiration.

When you write you want to educate. There are still many business owners unfamiliar with what a virtual assistant does. So don’t be afraid to start with the basics. Make a list of questions that your prospects or clients ask most frequently and create a blog post and/or article addressing each of those questions.

Where do you find your writing inspiration?
