Do you have to write a blog every day?

When you start blogging to increase traffic, newsletter signups, and get more clients, it often seems like the more you blog, the better. But there are plenty of reasons why more isn’t always better when it comes to blogging.

Your blog has no focus

Writing a bunch of 500-word blog posts that have no purpose other than SEO won’t help if they’re not focused and purposeful. You must find a voice for your business and stick to it with a strict focus.

You don’t understand your niche

Understanding the ins and outs of your niche is important, and if you don’t, you’ll have a hard time writing useful blog posts that speak to your audience.

Your post is pointless.

If you are writing things for no purpose, it will be difficult to get permanent readers. It may pull viewers in all at once, but if they click through and find no cohesion or call to action, they’ll just read and leave.

You don’t understand your audience

It’s hard to write blog posts that speak to your audience if you don’t know why. It is imperative that you spend time studying your audience so that you know the correct words to use to express what you need to say.

your writing is boring

Putting it all together, if your main concern is producing more content rather than quality content, your content could be super boring to the point of putting your readers to sleep. Working on quality content that speaks intelligently about your niche to your audience is more important than having more content.

You are not including other types of content

Blogging is more than just written text today. It should include a variety of content formats, such as podcasts, videos, text content, and more.

You are not curating other people’s content

Other people have important things to add to the discussion of your niche with your audience. If you can find blog posts saying what you want to say that other people wrote better than you, please share it with your own thoughts added to round it out.

You are not promoting blog posts that you have

Writing or creating a blog post is just the first step. After publishing it, you need to promote it. If you don’t spend time promoting your blog posts, they might not be good enough to even bother posting.

When starting a blog, it’s much more important to come up with a simple plan of action than just writing. Understand your readers, take the time to optimize every blog post, and never skimp on promoting every blog post you create. Spending all your time writing and not focusing on these other topics won’t get you the business you want, but doing all of these things will.
