On Posting Frequency

This is a common question for new bloggers: How often do I need to post? Are lots of content necessary to make money online?

Again, it depends. What kind of blog are you running?

If you are running a niche blog, you do not have to post on a regular basis. In fact, I know a few bloggers who post five (5) topics but they are still making huge amount of money off their blogs. For a niche site, there are techniques necessary in order for the search engine to index your site. Your post should target specific keywords and you must concentrate on those. Also, bloggers who run niche site focus on establishing backlinks. Reason why they rank so high on google and other search engines.

However, if you are running a general blog like this, and planning to write Paid Reviews in the near future, I suggest you should have a posting frequency. You have to keep your site updated.

Set a number of post per week. Twice a week with not a long interval in between will work. Before you get accepted by Paid Review Company such as PayPerPost (PPP), you should be able to meet the minimum number of entries. In PPP, you should have at least 20 posts before you get approved.

Also, Paid Reviews do not like bloggers writing consecutive sponsored posts. Meaning, if you write a sponsored review now, your next entry should be an original post.

So having known this, have you set your posting frequency already? Are you committed to post at least 8 times a month, probably more if you are planning on writing paid reviews?
