Okay, so when I first started out with this whole book blog thing a few years back (2012) I tried to post every day. I was enthusiastic and I wanted to post as many reviews and articles as possible. This lasted about two weeks when I realised how hard it was for me to post decent, daily content and keep up with school work at the same time.
It was hard to keep up with other bloggers who always had
new content but I realised I needed to find a blogging schedule that worked for
me and wasn’t overly demanding. After all it is a hobby.
I later decided I would post three times a week with at
least one review a week. This was a doable amount of weekly posts for me and
although I’ve been known to take a break or two from blogging when work has
gotten on top of me, I always try to come back to the same schedule of
three-ish posts a week. Sometimes more sometimes less but I always try to post
something. If one week I’m really busy then I’ll at least post a Fun Fact Friday
because I tend to feel guilty not posting anything.
How often do you think you need to post?
I think it is better to post less and have better content than to just post more semi-good posts. :) I try to post 4-5 times a week. But like you said, it is a hobby so it isn't the end of the world if we don't post all the time. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks and absolutely, the content is the most important thing. That's what make's me follow a blog after all! As long as I do about 4+ posts, I'd say that's a good week.
DeleteThanks, for commenting! :)
I was someone who posted whenever they felt like it when I started off, and now I realise it is better to have a schedule. So I am posting thrice a week, with approximately two reviews a week. Well, sometimes a book one or movie one, depending on what has been happening with the week. But seeing as I share all my posts on social media for like, an hour, every day would be very demanding!
ReplyDeleteSchedules make things so much easier for me. Also I think I'm going to start branching out into movie reviews as well as book reviews because I love films too.
DeleteThanks for stopping by.:)
