I’ve been blogging since 2003 but I’ve never been a blogger that posts at least three entries per week, which is the widely recommended minimum for a “real blogger.” I have said time and time again that I would eventually post at least three times each week, but unfortunately I have not met that goal. I’ve always leaned toward quality and not quantity with an overall approach focused on less is more. I also have to be motivated to write and really believe in the topic I’m covering, so If I’m not feeling it, then I’m just not feeling it.
I also blog about fraternity/sorority life and manage a communication/business blog. So every other week I’m blogging about something. Some may think I’m spreading myself too thin, but I enjoy running several blogs with particular niches. I think I’ll always blog and again will aim to up the ante on the number of posts for 2012. To be honest I’ve Tweeted much more than I have blogged in 2011. In 2012 I hope to post more entries across all four blogs.
Even with this strategy for 2012 I still might not meet three posts per week per blog, but as long as I keep on blogging I’ll be happy.
As the year comes to a close, I’ll like to wish everyone who has ever visited any of my blogs a very happy and healthy New Year!
Happy New Year Phil; may 2012 bring you much joy and success!
Thanks Rishona! Back at ya!
I agree with you when it comes to “quality and not quantity”. There is so much garbage out there, and when you offer something good people will keel visiting you every once in a while to see what’s up.
I also think it is important to interact with followers in others ways-Facebook, Twitter, etc… Are those not considered posts? Sometimes comments are follow-ups are just as rich as the original content.
And 3 posts a week?! No way. Don’t tell me that :-p I follow my fav blogs 2 or 3 times a month. There is so much to read out there and when I go back to my favorites, they never let me down. I hope my readers feel the same way about me
Good stuff Phil!
Thanks for posting a comment and the kind words involved. Good to know that I am not alone on the subject. Good luck with everything and keep on coming back!
Take care!
