My belief is that 3 a week is the best number. This way you have new stuff often enough to keep your readers coming back for me, but not too much to annoy them. Of course, I usually only find time to post 1 a week, which I think is not nearly enough. I suppose I may have to kick it up a notch.

I don’t have a regular blogging schedule, but it certainly couldn’t hurt to have one. I do map out my posts and save them as drafts. I usually have an idea of what I want to write in advance but I don’t commit myself to posting it on a particular date/time.

I commend you for dishing out 23 posts in one week and still having time for everything else in between!

Lara – We sound too much alike. I have my design business but also have 6 sites of my own to keep fresh and alive (I just let my b5 one go because something had to give).

As much as I try to keep a schedule, it doesn’t work for me. Instead, I keep a running list of tasks – one for paid client work and one for my own sites. I dedicate a certain block of time each day for each based on which one needs my attention most. I try to get the most pressing tasks done first and then cross them off the list. So far, it seems to be working ok.

Thanks for your comments, all… as you can see by this site alone, my plan has failed me. Er, I failed it. Er, something. LOL

Going to be blogging about the process of failure and procrastination soon. HA!

Great plan Lara! My plan is to publish 3 to 5 times per week, but lately, my busy schedule has been keeping it to more like 2 to 3 times per week. I need to push myself more! If I can require each of my students to blog daily for the first 90 days of their blog and then backoff to 3 to 5 times per week thereafter, I should do the same! The great part for them is that when they follow these instructions (including the 6-step process for driving traffic that I share with them — which includes social bookmarking that you refer to), they get between 1,000 and 5,000 unique visitors per day to their blog. I’ve been there, done that, myself and need to get back to it! Good luck!

Great strategy. I like that you are being purposeful with your posting frequency. I also think that you are using a very moderate strategy in your posting frequency. I like that I won’t open my Google Reader to find six thousand new posts over two days from you. That is just too overwhelming!
