Thanks for the comment Ryan. I wrestle with trying to have a blog post schedule, or just write when I have good content on my mind. I think the winning combo is to do both. It looks like you're well on your way with a rigorous posting pace. Nice work! Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Hi Scott,

I recently created http://www.mographtv.com, I love building it and now it's my dream to evolve it into something I can live off of.

I really enjoyed your input on how to develop a successful blog and I agree. There's nothing more annoying than great blogs that never update and at the same time blogs that post way too much. I would like to try one post per week on a larger topic and it would be great to have another weekly post for a collection of video reviews.

Thanks again,

Cheers.

Wow, 12-15 posts a month is a pretty tough schedule to keep. The traffic for me is purely based on posts because I market them on Twitter and LinkedIn. Although some traffic has begun to come from Stumble Upon as well. Until I get more readers and a more consistent post schedule that will be the norm. What's the URL? I'll check it out. Thanks much for the comment!

I think its essential because your readers get used to it. I myself was posting 12-15 a month but when the intern strucked me from June to August, it changed.. And obviously my readers have to adjust and the decrease on traffic has become evident for my blog

Not a problem. It's encouraging to see others writing about these types of topics and actually doing something about it. I know how it feels to get a few comments, so I always make a point to try and throw some out there on the blogs I like.

Here is the info on the writing experiment.

Obviously my schedule is a bit different than yours, but I feel like we are about on the same page here. I've started a Writing Experiment on my blog for writers to join with me on. It's basically just a way to give people topics to write about every day so that they can keep up with a steady schedule.

Sure, not everyone will write a 400 word article every day (I am able to do it because that's my full-time job – copywriter) but for those that can write two or three of those articles a week, I think that having the chance to be a part of a group that is writing so often is really encouraging and inspirational.

I look forward to reading more from you and seeing what other tips you bring to the table.

Hey, maybe you could join the experiment too.
