If you have been a reader of my blog for a long time, you know that my style was to post 7 articles per day. I then reduced it gradually until it ended up being once per day. Recently, we started moving which meant that I was going to be gone from my blog for days at a time. At first, I thought this was a horrible thing. My goal was to have thousands of articles on this blog. But now that I have seen the effects of my short waiting periods, I see that posting every couple of days or so will actually help me in the long run.

Here’s why:

I currently have over 250 blog posts right here. I started blogging back in late February, 2010. I have already established my blog with a ton of unique content, and now I can focus on improving the quality of that content tremendously.

What does this mean for you?

  • It means that my articles will be more in depth, unless I have a short point to get across in which case I will post a short update.
  • It means that my articles will be larger which is great for my search engine results.
  • It means that my articles will have more of a “link bait” attraction to them.

In the long-run, my blog will benefit greatly from search engine results which means more targeted traffic and larger profits. Longer in-depth articles will also attract lots of new rss feed subscribers and newsletter subscribers.

Should you copy me?

Every blog is unique in its own way. You may be the type of blogger that posts shorter articles. You may only post family updates. You may post large articles already. You do not have to change your style in order to see the long-term benefits of blogging. It is a preference for me, and that is why I made the change. There are some benefits from changing a shorter article style to a longer one. I stated those benefits above. But it is not a requirement for blogging success. Whether you are blogging for income or for personal expression, you can and will benefit in the long-run regardless.

No matter what the length of your posts are, make your content be the best thing in the world to your readers. I have wrote lots of smaller posts that got a ton of comments, while some of my larger ones didn’t get the same attention. It was because my readers loved my “straight to the point” way about me. I provided ‘no fluff’ content that gave them instructions or real life experiences that have helped me turn my blog into a success.

Your biggest hurdle as a blogger is to establish regular readers, rss feed subscribers, newsletter subscribers, and those who favorite your blog. There are few blogs that have hit my favorites folder, but the ones that are in there get my attention on a regular basis.

Longer articles tend to get favorited more often. But that is mostly because they cover a lot of material and the reader wants to come back to that specific article in the future for reference. I have had plenty of times where a reader has told me that an article was yet another one that was bookmarked. It makes me feel great when that happens because it tells me that I am doing something right.

No matter what your blogging style, remember that the quality of your writing is key to establishing a reader-base. Tell me… what’s your blogging style?
