Blogging is not a difficult task. However, blogging on a regular basis can be rather tricky. For writing a blog post with an aim to attract more readers, a detailed research on the topic of discussion is of utmost importance.
For running a blog successfully, you need an excellent blogging strategy in place which you can follow throughout the year. You need to make a strategy that works for you, one that helps you increase your:
- Social media readers.
- Traffic
- Subscribers
- Revenue
Well, how you strategize your blog is entirely your choice. And with a robust strategy in place combined with discipline, it is not difficult to achieve your goals.
Therefore, this week’s Shouter’s Chat topic was “Blog plan for 2018″ where we discussed your blog improvement plans for 2018.
In this week’s Shouter’s Chat we got to know about different blogging plans and goals of different Shouters from the community.
Here is a recap of each question and the top answers by the Shouters.
Q1. What frequency for publishing a blog post will you follow in 2018 and why?
From the Shouter’s community:
A1) I have decided to publish two posts a week in 2018. In 2017, I tried to publish every alternate day. Often I missed the posting schedule, also, I could not write long posts. So, I will go with 2 posts a week. #ShoutersChat
