Generating High Quanitities of Blog Content - Set a Target

Check out the previous posts at Set Targets, News Sites and Aggregators, Start a New Blog, Break Down Your Posts, Ecto and Recruit Writers.

Set yourself a target of how many pages you’ll add to your blog per day or week. I aim for a minimum of 10 pages of good content across my blogs every day including weekends - I see it as a discipline and set time (usually an hour or two) aside most mornings and evenings to complete my task. Some days I set myself bonus targets of 20 or more in a day like yesterday when I did 50 because of the release of some new products on one of my blogs.

10 pages of content per day is 3650 pages in a year! If for instance each page posted were to generate you 2 cents per day 3650 pages would make you $73 per day (7 days a week). 20 posts per day is 7300 pages….you do the sums. Of course some blogs won’t generate 2 cents per page per day - others will generate significantly more - the principle remains however. Also its worth remembering that you don’t suddenly have 3650 or 7300 pages - it takes time. But if you’re willing to take a long term project and see each post as like a deposit in the bank you might just find that down the track you’ll have built yourself a nice little earner.

Setting yourself a target and making it a discipline you stick to is just one way of generating quantities of content. How do you do it? I’ll share more of my tips shortly.
