In reply to Benaiah Marshall. I second that opinion Benaiah. If your content isn't credible or readable, you're just wasting the time the person on the other side has.

Great post Derek. I post twice on a weekly basis – Saturdays and Wednesdays work well for me as it always gives me a new target to reach each week.

I’ve never thought about the interview idea before but I’ll be sure to try and get some attention!

Good work Derek, I especially like the idea of being interviewed. That’s a good one.

Derek,

Nice article. I agree with you 100%. I do think that content is key, but having content just to have content has the possibility of alienating your readers.

Quality over Quantity any day, is my opinion.

Hi Derek,

Nice article. Well said.
Writing great contents and expecting readers to find you is like building a baseball field in the middle of the corn field and expecting players to find it.

Yup I agree. Content is the king but marketing is the queen.
We need both!

Thank you Derek, but do you send out an email for every blog post or just collect the addresses for when you have a product, or do it like YouTube and bundle links to several blog posts into one email?

I think new bloggers need to be updating a little more often than a few times a month. A few times a week sounds more accurate. You need to be pinging those search engines with your content and building content. When readers find you you want them to have something to read, don’t you?

This is something we were just discussing today about the frequency of posts on our new blogs. We decided to go twice or three times a week to get some content out there and to avoid it looking like tumbleweeds are blowing through it.
For one of our oldest blogs, I just update it whenever I have something to say.
As for whether to put the dates or not, that is a tough one. Personally I go for keeping them there for now.

But when I have started I got the same advice that to update the blog everyday. It sure helps if you are looking only for search engine visitors. In these days I update my content once in a week.
