[...] blog, I once again found myself taking an extended break from blogging and came to terms with my blogging failures. With all of this behind me I’ve started posting again, albeit inconsistently, and I’m happy to [...]

Nah, don’t quite. Everyone hits bumps in the road. Just keep plugging a long.

I don’t think you have to post every day to have a successful blog. In my experience, there are very few that can actually post every day (or more than once per day) and actually have any meaning to their posts at all. Myself, I’m not one of them. I post around once per week usually.Well, it’s been around 20 days since posted last right now but normally it’s once a week. With the once a week posting schedule (and I don’t adhere to that… I just post when I feel like it) my blog continues to grow in visitors and subscribers, so it’s definitely possible. Just the last 20 days since my last post, I’ve been an increase in traffic of about 85 per day, and I’ve had zero activity on my blog except for replying to comments, so I definitely don’t think not posting for a couple days (or 20) will make readers give up on you.

Think about your audience.

If you think they’d be in the mood to read longer, in depth articles, focus more on the quality than quantity.

Forget about post frequency, and even the consistency of your frequency.

If you think they’d like to read (or you’d like to write) shorter, quick-consumption posts, then look at providing a higher output with frequent and consistent posting.

I took Skelie’s advice and wrote about 4 posts and have em sitting in draft waiting for a rainy day. You may have inconsistency, but try to at least make the posts you do write worth reading

Don’t give up you can still do it. Just think of it as starting fresh with some good content backing you up!

You don’t have to post everyday to run a blog. In fact you may find (as I did when I specifically tested it), that posting less often actually increases your responses from your posts.

You can be consistent in posting once a week on the same day of the week. Or you can do twice a week or three times week. The key is being consistent with a schedule. It isn’t about how many posts you make.

You can still be consistent if you do not write daily posts. I think the important thing is to be consistent with which days you post - e.g. Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

If you were to have three consecutive days of posts then nothing for four days, I think you’d be more likely to lose momentum. Maybe you have more time at the weekend, or possibly less time, I don’t know.

My suggestion is to find which days work best for you and try it out for one month - say February. Then review your progress and go from there.
