Welcome to the blog millionaire, where we break down the essential strategies of today's most successful bloggers

to take your blog to the next level with top-notch content, monumental traffic growth, and multiple revenue streams to go beyond your wildest goals.

So get ready to blog like a pro and make your traffic explode with your host, whose blog gets more than one million visitors every single month, Brandon Galey.

My name's Brandon Galey and welcome to the 202nd episode of The Blog Millionaire.

In the last episode, I covered setting your keyword research

goal for 2021. The next big goal that I have and that you should also have for your blog is the

number of posts that you're going to publish. While it is a good practice to stretch your publishing goal, you want to make sure that

you do not compromise the quality of your content by trying to publish too many posts.

For new bloggers, I recommend focusing on one high quality post per week. Typically, anything more

than that will pull down your quality, or worse yet,

keep you from having the time to fulfill your keyword research. The simple fact here is that

writing a high-quality blog post takes time. In Orbit Media's latest blogging survey, they found

that bloggers take an average of three hours and 55 minutes to write a single blog post,

and the bloggers spending six hours per post were getting the most traffic.

I see way too often that bloggers stop just short of having the most comprehensive piece of content on that topic.

Going just a step further and investing an hour more can be the difference between a number

seven ranking and a number one ranking.

In case you don't already know, a number one ranking organic Google search gets 800% more traffic than a number

seven ranking. I am not saying that every new blogger should only write one post per week.

What I am saying is that you need to have four to six hours available per post. If you have

16 to 24 hours a week to write, then you can publish four posts per week.

You just need to make sure that you have the time available to keep yourself from being stretched too thin.
