In light of how erratically I have been blogging, I thought maybe I’d poke a bit of fun at myself and take a look at the role of consistency in the formation of a successful blog. Apparently it’s important – really important – like in the top three of the key factors to blogging success.
Evidently,‘people depend upon your regularly scheduled blog posts. If you set a schedule, keep it. If you start an article series, finish it. If you have regularly scheduled posts like weekly reports, links, challenges, memes, or other repeated content, keep it on schedule as people have come to expect it. Just as you expect others to show up for their appointments, you better show up for your blog appointments.’
This doesn’t bode so well for me, but it does make sense. The internet is overflowing with content and who wants to waste their time navigating to dead blogs? As they say, attention is the true currency of the internet, and there is no faster way to kill peoples interest than to become stagnant and boring. There are a couple of other articles on this topic, here and here.
