There’s a lot of pressure on bloggers:
“You must update every day.”
“You must have at least 1000 posts…”
“You must have fresh content…”
Blogs can be pretty demanding, right?
If you’re just starting blogging, the pressure of having to produce at least one blog post every day can put you off. And, if you already have a blog, which hasn’t been updated in three weeks, the pressure to blog can make you feel so guilty that you want to erase blogs and blogging from your mind completely.
Your blog doesn’t need constant care
Unlike an indoor plant, your blog doesn’t need constant watering. You can leave your blog alone for extended periods.
Some of my blogs are producing income, and climbing in PageRank to PR 4, with no more than ten posts in total, and very infrequent, or no, updates.
If your blog has original content which is useful, relax. It will earn income; it will grow – it won’t die. Make an occasional post and check the comments if you have time. If you don’t, your blog will happily wait until you do.
