Question asked by Shawn Fears 168 days ago
How often do you post a new blog?
We all know that a blog is a useful tool in establishing ourselves as professionals in our industry, but how often do you post? Do you post on a specific schedule? Do you utilize holidays?

My answer to this one is simple - when I have something of quality to say :-) Blogs can be extremely useful, but we as bloggers shouldn't fool into thinking that quantity matters over quality - our readers can definitely tell the difference.

I try to post two blogs a month with no particular schedule. I take my cues from things I see or read, and at times I even create a blog about personal matters.

With my busy schedule(new baby, school, training at two locations) I am thinking I need a schedule so I can actually get a blog posted.lol

I can see why that would be necessary :-)

Not often enough!... That should be my resolution for the next year. At least one blog every month.

I aim for 1-2x a week on specific days so readers know when to expect a new post.

Almost daily, unless I am tied up such as on vacation. I simply feel it is part of the job to get info out!

I am with LaRue. If I think I really need to express something I believe to be quality info, I'll blog it. But, like Marlan stated... porbably not near enough.

My blogging has been sporadic at best. Probably 5 - 6 a month. I'd like it be a solid 2x's per week. I blog about my own personal training journey as a "new" mom trying to stay fit and creating a healthy lifestyle for my son to follow, whether it be in a new strength training program or training for a marathon. It helps me be real and personal with the readers. I have also started blogging more about nutrition...what effects different foods can have on the body, useful websites for more information, food and nutrition in the news, etc.

Not enough. As a new years resolution, I'd like to post once a week. We'll see how that goes.

I make sure I do about 6 posts a month from nutrition questions to exercises to fitness topics or news posts. That gets me a little under 2,000 hits a month. I than take the blog posts and put them on my facebook/twitter page. Its a great way to stay in touch w/clients and build up your "voice". It's also an awesome reference tool (including for you). Clients ask me questions and I send them to a pg on my blog.
Make sure you use key words and do consistent quality posts. That equals success!

I am trying to post a message at least once a day. Since some of my clients are following my blog and RSS feed, I want to keep fresh, informative, fun information out there.

I will post one to two times a month depending on what I have to say. I value quality over quantity. The purpose of the blog is to give my readers/clients useful information and tips about health and fitness as well as insights into the psychological aspect of lifestyle changes.

I've been there, Shawn! I'd go with twice a month as a minimum. Think of the rest as a bonus, and make sure the quality is there on every posting. I have 2 young kids of my own (3 1/2 & 1 1/2) & find that it's helpful to schedule alarms on my phone during naptime or after the kids' bedtime so I have no excuse not to get it done! I use holidays as topics of conversation all the time (post about sugar or candy on Easter, running on Marathon Day, turkey around Thanksgiving, beer on St Patty's Day). I'd try to post a few weeks to a few days before the holiday when the hype is highest. Good luck!
