Every blogger is aware that it is very important to keep your blog updated because it is useful to keep the readers visiting to your blog for reading new content and also helpful for SEO. As soon as you update your blog, search engines crawl to your blog and thus your new post can help you to get traffic from search engines.
Sometimes bloggers find it difficult to update their blog post frequently, it might be because they are doing blogging part time or busy with some other work. Whatever may be the reason, if bloggers fails to update their blogs frequently then blog might lose regular visitors and organic traffic also. Bloggers just need to follow few tips to keep their blog updated with frequent posts.
How To Master Publishing Frequency On Your Blog
Decide when to update
Blogging without plans never gives you expected results. You must plan all your blogging activities including writing articles. Decide how many articles you want to write for your blog, it doesn’t matter that you decide to post 3 articles in a week or 3 articles in a day. You just need to stick with what you have decided, this way your readers will know when you update your blog and will expect the articles accordingly.
Write on Weekends
If you are a part time blogger or a professional blogger who is busy with other work like providing other blogging services then there might be chance that you even won’t get time to write 3 articles in a week. For this, you need to spend your time on weekend and write all 3 posts and schedule them for later. This way you don’t have to worry about publishing post on weekdays.
Choose topics for next day
If you want to update your blog daily then it would be better to select the topic of the article before one day. It is better for the bloggers who waste their time in searching for topic and at last when they get the topic, the entire mood vanishes to write the article. I always prefer to select the topic in advance, this helps me to start fresh while writing articles. Everything seems to be organized and scheduled.

Write whenever you get ideas
I am sure all the bloggers keep on thinking about blog post ideas. If you get any idea about article then either note down it or if you are free than start writing the article same time. Whenever idea strikes to our mind, it is the perfect time to write it down because we get good flow of thoughts and thus can write article fast and better.

Schedule in advance
It’s always recommended that you must schedule your articles in advance. No matter you are a full time blogger or part time blogger, we all are social people and their might be chances that you get busy and can’t publish your post which you have already drafted. Thus, make a habit to schedule at least 3 posts so that even if you are busy with other work, you won’t lose your readers who visit your blog regularly.
I hope you will find the tips effective for maintaining blog post frequency. If I am missing any tip please share in comments, I would love to learn more tips from you.
Rightly said Ruchi. Regular updating of blogs really help to improve your website ranking. Thanks for the insight.
Great Tips… I keep a Notepad file on my computer desktop aptly named Blog Ideas. I always have paper nearby where I jot down ideas for one blog entry or for maybe a series of ideas.
My question is whether my blog should be more ‘chatty’, or just stick to the facts.

Thanks for the post. I hope I will be more punctual with my posts now. Is there any ideal number of posts for a week?
Good tips for a beginner blogger like me.
I was just wondering about a scenario, where someone is having a good number of articles but does not have a blog. How to schedule for pre-written posts for a future blog?
Good tips, but if you have some more tips on the same they will be more helpful because I followed the above tips. They worked at times & not at other times say if we plan on weekends to write the blog posts then it will be difficult to manage free time on weekends & when we plan vacation on weekends.
I understand it depends on individual, but how can we plan weekends effectively is the information I wanted. Thanks in advance for the reply.
Thanks Ruchi for your tips, you gave me hope write again… I made a huge mistake of deleting a my first blog due to inactivity and I fear of repeating that scenario again in my latest blog. More power to you..
I really Loved the point that says “Write Whenever you Get Ideas”, Love this one and personally apply it on me,
Sometimes my mother get angry on me. My PC table always remain scribbled, I usually Sit blank for a while after i close my computer. And IF an idea hits my mind without wasting a second, if i don’t get a paper nearby and nor do i wait to switch on my computer. I pick up my pencil and start writing whatever place i get (my table usually). Sometimes even at nights i wake up to drink water and if i get any idea, I immediately pick up my sticky pad write on it, Paste a paper on my board and sometimes even Save ideas in my cellphone’s SMS drafts.
Really Loved this one.
Hi . Nice Article .. I am not a professional blogger . I am part time blogger .. Please suggest me to update the Post frequency ….Planned for Scheduled post via windows live writer . Pls advice
Some time boredom prevents you from updating your blog frequently. So try to keep yourself fresh and take some break to avoid the boredom. Anyway nice tips. Thanks for sharing.
Once you start thinking out of box and find creative ways to find topics , you wont ever get bore for sure.
Glad you like the post Tanmay.
You have mentioned some good point Ruchi, it is what happening to me, after I have joined in SEO firm I am not able to update my blog frequently.
I can combine all of them into one word: “good planning” that helps you deal with anything in timely manner with success 🙂
This is one job I always fail to do in a perfect manner. One time I post to my heart’s content and the other time I forget posting for months altogether.
I write about making blogging a habit, but seldom do I follow it.
Suneel, to attract readers its important to be regular. Try out this tips, hope it will help you.
Nice tips. Maintaining proper time gap between posts too is important. Publishing 5 posts within a minute might leave your visitors overwhelmed and confused, as to which topic to go for, when they have limited time to spend.
Thanks ruchi,you article gave me the idea of writing frequently as i was not able to update my blog regularly.
Hey Technolic, hope this tips will help you to maintain frequency of your post. If you need any help you can surely contact me :).
Thank you…:)
Hey Ruchi,
These are awesome tips. I strongly agree with “Write whenever you get ideas”.. many bloggers just start writing whenever they get ideas… !!
Btw. I love to write on weekends :D. !!
Thanks for sharing this great Post ruchi ;).
Writing on weekend is a great idea. Thanks for liking the post 😉
I have same ideas as that is when I have much free time 🙂
As I do blog regularly, I’m not worry about posting frequency but sometime I need to be away from my system and that the time I found Schedule post more than what I need. Thanks for this tips Ruchi.
Scheduling post is one thing which every blogger must take care of, that’s good habit Arafat. 🙂
Very good point Ruchi! I personally can relate with the point of “Write whenever you get ideas”. I find that I often write many of my posts together. At the very least, I’ll place the opening topics of a post or two down on a Word document before I forget about the topic.
Thanks for taking the time to write this post!
Best Regards,
Gil
Right Gil, Even I do the same. For me the toughest job is to find useful topic thus I also note down the topic as soon as I get idea and a few intro lines so that I don’t forget what exactly I have to cover in articles.
Glad you like the post.
