Blogging offers a way for you to build a website one page at a time. Anything goes in terms of the content you choose to publish and the purpose you want to achieve. Realistically speaking, however, if your blog doesn't have visitors, then even the most wonderful content you create won't achieve your purpose.
It's equally true - especially in the beginning - that if your blog doesn't have enough content, you won't find it easy to attract visitors. Even your early subscribers and other people you know well will stop visiting your blog if there is nothing new for them to see. (Wouldn't you?)
What's more, there are many promotional tools and income generating possibilities out there that only allow you to participate when your blog has a minimum number of "quality" posts that fit with the description of your blog.
Below are some concrete examples of early quantity benchmarks for new blogs that you might want to keep in mind.
With at least 5 posts you can:
- get your blog listed in search engines
- get your blog approved for listing at blogging communities like Entrecard, BlogCatalog and MyBlogLog
- list your blog in most blog directories
- sell advertising on your blog through systems like ProjectWonderful (and others)
- apply to earn money writing sponsored posts to your blog through sites like PayPerPost
PLEASE NOTE: I have been waiting for the ourwwworld team blogs to have a minimum of 5 quality posts each so that we can start some ourwwworld contests that could win you some bonus cash for Christmas. Any blog currently in the ourwwworld sidebar that does not have a minimum of 5 posts relevant to your stated topic by 15 November will not be able to participate, and your blog will be deleted from the sidebar until you've caught up with the rest of the team. For those of you who already have reached that 5 post target, congratulations - and sorry for the delay!
Keep an eye out on 15 November (internet willing!) for the contest details.
