If you’re going to be a successful blogger, one important point to keep in mind is that you should update your blog regularly. By regular, I simply mean that you should define a schedule and STICK to that schedule. Do NOT wander off that schedule, ever.
But, that’s difficult, right? Why?
The major reason why people tend to lose interest midway through their blogging is because they start out wrongly. They decided to blog about something that was not really their point of interest. So, primary rule to success is – Blog about what you love!
Here I share 4 reasons why you should blog regularly:
A Regular Schedule Turns Readers Into ‘Loyal Readers‘
The idea is pretty simple. When you plan and stick to a schedule, your readers get used to that schedule. Eventually, they don’t have to rely on the blog feeds either. As long as they are well aware of your posting schedule, they’ll generally visit your blog themselves on days when they expect you to update the blog. Finding fresh content gives them a reason to keep coming back!
You Lose Traffic When You Deviate
Consider the point above. When loyal readers re-visit your blog, they do so with the expectation of reading something new. If you regularly SKIP your scheduled posting times and neglect the entire blogging area, then these visitors will gradually get disappointed. They won’t be able to keep track of your blog updates and quite a few might simply stop visiting you. This generally leads to a decline in traffic (and a sharp decline, mind that) which is the last thing you want if you’re aiming to be a successful blogger.
Regular Updates = Higher Search Engine Positions
Obviously, Search engines want content. They love content. Everytime they visit your blog, they’ll scrape it for new content. If they find it, they index it. And when they index it, you have more pages indexed in a particular search engine. That, in turn, means you have more chances of people visiting your blog when they’re searching for something, as with the addition of each new blog post, you basically widen the scope of topics you cover. And the more pages and quality posts you have indexed, you get more authority in the search engines. Anyone who has a basic idea of success, would not disagree with this post!
Regular Updates Get You More Backlinks
Don’t forget that quite a few of your readers are also bloggers(in most of the niches). And when you regularly update your blog, every once in a while they’ll like something you posted and link back to you from their own blogs. What does this offer you? Free backlinks! Who would not want free backlinks? All it takes is some time to stay true to your schedule and you get so many benefits without having to actually work hard for them.
Conclusion
There’s countless advantages of regularly updating your blog. More traffic (which leads to more revenue), more exposure, you establish yourself as a professional in your blogging niche, etc. Of course, it all requires you to stick to your schedule. And if you’re short on time, then plan a schedule that does not require too much time, but can still effectively keep your blog fresh!

That’s a great post, especially when you cover about “Blog about what you love!”. People tends to blog is because they are trying making online by adsense or some other money making sites so they can earn from blogging.

Well, bloggers should at least update their page at least once a week, keep their posts interesting and helpful to others or else, no body would want to visit you again if you have the same old boring stories and nothing is new.
You have to be consistent and persistent to succeed online. However I don’t think it is about the quantity of the posts rather than the quality and the value of the information presented.
Still if you can do a lot of good / great posts it will be even better, don’t you agree
The most important part of your blog is the content you publish through your blog posts, so if you don’t update your blog with a new post, there is no reason for people to visit.
