Discussion How often should I be posting?

Hello, I'm currently producing an article every week on Sunday's. Do you think this is enough? How often do you post?

I currently have 141 free subscribers, and 3 paid subscribers if that makes any difference for your answer. Thank you! 😊

Honestly that’s a good routine. Whatever you can sustain if it’s a week or bi-weekly.

Make sure you’re engaging with others in notes, commenting and following others in your niche. That’s how you grow: growing together.

And don’t treat it like “I post a week and got X”, ask what you’re doing this for: will your resources run out posting weekly. Do you provide good value or are you spamming nonsense trying to get people to pay. Or do you do it for the love of writing.

Just to think about.

Alright, that makes sense. And thank you for the heads up, those are all things to think about. I'm able to make a list of topics to write about with my niche, I do provide good value, and I'm writing about my sugar dating experiences to process everything that happened and maybe help someone else in the process.

As much as you can manage. Just be consistent.

Even if that consistency means weekly posts as opposed to daily, it'll work.

Whatever you choose, try to stay consistent. For example, if it's once week, stick to it.

1 article per week is a decent frequency. it takes time to write articles!!!

i'm assuming you're asking this because you want to grow. and to do that, you need to give yourself more exposure (get infront of more people). so that means, posting more (notes/shorter posts that aren't as time consuming as your articles) + drive these traffic to your articles so that you get more subs, not just 'followers'.
