How often you should blog depends on what you are trying to accomplish with your blog or website. For basic business websites once a month is good to help with SEO (search engine optimization). If your website is a reference place for information then once a week is probably better. If you are really serious about your blog then making an effort daily is the best bet.
We love our website platform because we can edit and post our blogs from a smart device. This makes it easy to write out thoughts from everywhere and anywhere and be able to share them with the world. The title will often come through as the date but that is easily edited from the desktop service. It is always good to post links to your recent blog posts on social media, in e-newsletters, and even cross-link information as references from other parts of your website. Don't know what to write about? Pick up a book of writing prompts that relate to your area of business. Brainstorm a bunch of ideas for blog posts and put them on slips of paper; put those slips of paper in a jar and randomly choose one when you are looking for inspiration. Look through old notebooks and planners to find topics you may want to cover in a future post. Share how often you post on your blog and a link to your blog in the comments.
