Yesterday I wrote Introduction to Blogging – Key #1 of 4 to be successful.

Today I will follow up with Key #2.

Any guesses about what will be coming up the day after and the day after that?

Key # 2 of 4 to be successful at blogging.

Consistency.

Devote time to writing every day. Every, every day.

And, if that is not possible, use the scheduler on your blog tool so it looks like you are putting up content every day.

In other words, write multiple blog entries ahead of time, but have the scheduler put up one per day or two per day or at whatever pace works for you.

I have been on week-long cruises in the Caribbean and Alaska and spent several days poolside watching my son win a national swim title, but my readers never knew the difference.

I am not a slave to blogging, but I am consis­tent.

Search engines value a consistent blog. The bots will come back more often to see why things keep changing. That’s good for your blog traffic, not to mention it makes for better find-ability in the long run.

Be consistent – daily, several times daily, several times weekly. If you do weekly or less, forget about getting tons of traffic. It’s not likely to happen.

Tomorrow – Key # 3.
