That's the million dollar question. Some think you should publish 1 article per week, while others like me think that publish an article per day on your blog It's really the minimum.

But the most important thing is not what I think or what others think, no. The most important are the facts. And these facts are based on verifiable numbers and results.

Which means that I can give you the answer right now ...

So, How many articles should you post to your blog every week?

In truth, it all depends on your goals and how you blog. If for you blogging is just a way to live and share your passion, then nothing really presses.

You can publish when you feel like it and it does not matter if there are weeks of gaps between your publications. Which means that you can write and publish 1 article by week or by month if you want.

But from the moment you have big goals to achieve, like for example:

  • Have more than 500 visitors per day on your blog
  • Have 5000 subscribers in your list minus 12 months
  •  Generate 2000 € revenue every month through the sale of your products or that of others through affiliate
  • rank your blog among the 5000 most read blogs in your country
  • Etc

Then there is no question of publishing at your own pace and even less to publish articles of the size of your choice. What does the saying say? " With great responsibility ". You will never reach your goals in time if you do not bet on quantity and quality.

Let's talk for example of 500 visitors a day that you dream of having on your blog and do a very simple calculation, you will see how these two elements are related:

Let's go based on the fact that every quality article you publish on your blog will attract 10 visitors a day ... (I'll simplify the calculation to avoid getting confused)

   1. If you publish 1 post per month on your blog from January 1 of this year, we agree that from January 1 of next year you will have 12 × 10 visitors per day, or 120 visitors per day on your blog

   2. If you publish 1 article per week, then it will be 52 × 10 visitors, or 520 visitors per day on your blog

   3. And if you post one post per day, then it will be 365 × 10, or 3650 visitors per day to your blog. And this is only an understatement, because just posting every day will get you 2-3 times more visitors per day.

Personally, I chose to publish 3 articles per day on this blog until the end of this year. What is my goal? Multiply the number of visitors by 10 by the end of the year. We are at 22th day and BlogPasCher traffic has almost doubled.

Purpose : Gain market shares. Again, the math at this point is very simple. Let's go on the basis of one article per week and say at the last week I should publish an article on how create a WordPress blog (knowing that we sell blogs).

You agree with me that if I publish this article in early January (in addition to the others) I would receive traffic that I could not have had if I had not published this article before is it? ?

Yes, these people would have researched and fell on other sites simply because I have not yet published this article on my blog. It would be potential customers next to whom I would spend.

And if I need 10.000 visitors to make a sale, then you understand very well that I have interest to publish a maximum of articles earlier on my blog because, this will allow me to have more visitors per day, so to achieve more sales in less time.

Conclusion: the sooner you publish on a topic, the more traffic you receive on your blog ... and the greater your chances of making sales.

You have often heard that the content is ROI. Believe me, he really is. Especially if you combine quality, quantity and length.

With this example, you can see that the real question is not how much article you can publish on your blog but what are the goals you want to achieve through your blog. It is these who will dictate the procedure to follow. Depending on one or the other, you will have more or less work.

Hey! This is not the conclusion! The article contained with a small bonus.

What is the ideal length of an article?

Some informal case studies have shown that articles that have 1010-1501 words are usually better referenced than 501-801 words. Which means they generate a lot more visitors.

These results are not an invitation to mediocrity. It just means that very short and poorly written content will never surpass a detailed, complete and useful article. And Google considers that a long and well punctuated article, is necessarily detailed and more complete.

So instead of writing 2 short articles of 300 words, you should normally think of only one of 600 words. This approach will have an impact on your calendar because it will be one article per week instead of two. But remember, the quality and length of an item are always better than anything.

On the other hand, you also understand that it is important to define the quality of articles and their length before creating your editorial calendar. The longer an article is, the longer it takes, and the less time you have in your program.
