Planning your blog posts

I had been stressing on consistent blogging on few of my previous posts which is very important to maintain a blog with consistent traffic. If you have noted, I did not do any posts in the Month of May, just 1 post, that’s the problem what I and many of the bloggers face. My traffic went to down and no new subscribers and my revenue eventually went down.

Recently Darren Rowse had posted a Poll on How many posts do you do on your main blog? The comments were interesting and you should read it.

Now coming back to the topic of this post, how to plan your posts in a way that you blog posts are consistent. There are many times that I get time and topics and I can do 4-5 posts a day and as like in the Month of May, I could do only one post. If you are using blogging tool like wordpress , Joomla, Drupal, then you can write your post and publish it on a future date. This is something what many bloggers do. But again there are some restrictions on this. If you are writing a post on a hot topic, you should not plan to post it on a future date.

If you are not getting time to write you posts, you should at least find time to go through your draft posts and publish those or complete those and publish it.

Create as many draft posts as you can whenever you get some idea. You will find these draft posts useful when you run out of topics.

Don’t over post, your subscribers many get annoyed. Keep posting periodically, your visitors will make sure that you are alive.
