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.
I will be checking back often for more tips! I am fairly new to this game, and sites like yours are just what I need.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Darren.
The first paragraph in this article needs fixing. I’m sure you don’t mind the feedback!
ProBlogger is a great resource. Thanks.

Hi Darren,
I’ve noticed that I tend to lean toward the “blogger’s block” side. I’ve got just one blog and I seem to wait for the “perfect” inspiration of what to write. Hopefully I can expand my idea base enough to post 10 per day as you do.
