Content Writers: How Many Articles Should You Write Every Day?
There is one element that is always decisive.

The store across the street was out of my favorite green tea yesterday. So right now I’m sitting at my workstation drinking from a small plastic bottle of my second choice: green tea with ginseng and honey. Not bad. It will have to do.
A content writer must produce content. No problem there. The problem comes in with how much content.
Now I don’t know about you but I am not what you would call a prolific writer. If I think too deeply for too long smoke comes out of my ears and the smoke detector goes off.
Now you know why I’m a writer and not a comedian.
But seriously folks. The question of production for a content writer is a serious one. When I write too much the quality of my work drops off. But I can see that if I am serious about reaching my goal of making $2.00 a day from my Triond content before I die I had better turn out more than one piece of content a day.

You got me by the gonads. This is where I can put to good use the fact that I am a bachelor with no children and that I’m retired. My time is my own. Many of you reading this have far more responsibilities than I do which means you have a lot less free time than I do.
I feel your pain.
But it is clear to me that if I am going to reach my goal of $2.00 a day I am going to have to average at least two publications every day and the quality had better be good, too.

I think two is a good number. I shocked myself one day and posted four. I wonder if the real question is, what is too much? I see some writers on my feed all through the day with about 10 or more articles. Makes me wonder if it pays off writing like that?

Guy, my answer would be: Write as much as you can. Quantity rules over quality when it comes to online writing.

Very good article– but I do have one question are your articles well some of them why do you do this? It’s a great idea… just curious…

I personally enjoy reading your articles. However, I don’t understand Atanacio’s comment.
Truth be told there are many places that say to write longer and I never knew all that mattered was writing regardless of the length. Someone care to explain this?

you can achieve those goals.

I hope you get that 2 dollars a day. You write so well that I know they’ll get read.

It is a worry for all of us. I write between one and three pieces a day well used to as I have said to you in previous comments to your work my enthusiasm is waning a lot! one article every two days is about my limit now to hold any kind of quality. Since the SEO shake up and being robbed of 50% of nothing! it has seemed like insult to injury? I write purely for my Triond friends now and to network my published Triond stuff on other networks such as Squidoo etc. Your enthusiasim is up and down like mine Guy I’m glad you’re on the up right now! you can pick up some of the slack for me..LOL.. LB

There are days I longer to only have to write one or two articles a day. Of course most of my articles are picked for me and many of my clients even give a list of places to get research information from so, it makes it easier.

I would also say that writing as much as one can is the best thing for online writer. At least as long as the quality does not suffer much.

I couldn’t agree more
