This year, I followed a tip posted at Problogger than discussed this same issue. They said you only really need 1-3 posts a week now. Audiences are getting so many emails that they can’t keep up with even a post a day. Posting each day also lends itself to sloppy, lazy blogging.

I moved to 3 posts per week and haven’t regretted it. I’ve won a blog carnival for one of my recent posts about real estate agent incentives and I seem to have increased in subscribers.

Thanks for bringing this topic up. Too many bloggers feel pressure to post all of the time and it’s creating pushback from readers.

I realize that the social piece also tends to bring a “popularity contest” element with it and that doesn’t have anything to do with getting business which is why I blog. I have time for 3 things: learning; relationships/connecting and writing – if a blog doesn’t provide one of those 3 then I have to ask why am I subscribed anymore – cause I am out of hours in the day for idle reading.

I also find that I am reading more blogs and info “outside” the real estate industry to find new ideas and voices versus so much echoing.

I write my own blog about a community I’m passionate about and it’s serving me well. I am also passionate about the future of real estate – so thanks for sharing – I’ve enjoyed your posts immensely – you fall in the learning category for me – thanks again. – Cyndee Haydon
