How Often Should You Publish Blog Posts? Real Questions for Real Bloggers

One of the comments left on a recent post of mine not only caught my attention but also prompted me to reconsider a subject I have often heard discussed among bloggers and readers: the balance between quantity and quality in blogging.

Quantity vs Quality in Blogging

We think the biggest change in blogging is the number of senseless posts, especially these senseless affirmative comments. There is much quantity and less and less quality. You cannot maintain a certain quality when producing a post daily.
We quite often ask ourselves why we put ourselves through this, visiting so many pointless blogs? That’s one of the reasons we’re considering ending blogging. Maybe it’s our narcissism that keeps us blogging?

What do You think?

What keeps you blogging, and how do you feel about the balance between quantity and quality?

How do they do it?

I’ve often wondered how some bloggers produce so many posts. I’m talking about those who publish more than one post a day. Are they robotic, sitting at their computers all day, every day, or do they have a secret to writing and scheduling posts without compromising quality?

Can We Post Daily and Still Maintain Quality?

What would you think of a blogger who said they published lots of posts daily because they didn’t have anything else to do, but then added they didn’t have time to leave engaging comments, so they left short, non-engaging comments everywhere because they had too many blogs to visit? All that would tell me is that they didn’t have time for the bloggers or blogs they follow.

If you’re producing blog posts with little text and lots of photographs, I can understand why you’re posting so many posts daily. But does producing so many posts affect not only the quality of the posts but also the quality of your blog?

Do Frequent Posts Attract Meaningful Engagement?

One of the reasons I stopped publishing Wordless Wednesday posts was that they weren’t attracting the kind of comments I crave. Instead, those posts were getting comments that I thought made my blog look spammy. It can feel pointless when, week after week, your posts receive the same “Lovely photo!” comment without any detail about what makes the reader say that. I see it all the time, all over the blogging world. How many ways can you keep responding to the same ‘Lovely photo’ comment without it becoming too boring or pointless?

I’ve also stopped following blogs because they were publishing too many posts each day. I found it too overwhelming.

Over to you

This is the place to discuss and engage not only with me but also with other readers. Have your say. I’d love to hear your thoughts, so please leave a comment and start a discussion on this intriguing blogging topic. Do you think posting more often affects the quality of what we publish and how we interact with each other?

How long have you been blogging?
How often do you publish?
What keeps you blogging, and how do you feel about the balance between quantity and quality on your blog?
Do you believe that too many blog posts spoil the quality of posts and the blog they are on?
What, for you, is the perfect quantity and quality balance?

I look forward to discussing this subject with you all.
