Sure, we’re all in different situations but we have control over how we use our time so that can’t be it. That only leaves us with being completely lazy. This is sad because we’re not going to get very far if we’re lazy. We just think of how great it would be to post amazing content and do all these things and then never put any action towards it. How sad… Solution: Don’t be lazy! [...] [...] No one is really lacking time because time is the same for all of us.

This is EXACTLY the daily goal I set for myself.

Like Ian alluded to, I only post Monday and Thursday. But by writing an article a day, I:

a) Have a cache of articles so I never miss a posting day

b) Stay on schedule while sending out high quality guest posts

c) Get practice being a writer, becoming more remarkable, sharper, funnier, to the point, etc.

Like Malcom Gladwell said in Outliers, it takes 10,000 hours of doing something for you to become a master in it. Writing each day helps to slowly but surely become one.

Best,
Oleg

As somebody who wrote nearly every single day in the early days of my blog, I can tell you that this formula will carry you far further than retweeting ever article you see and spending all day on Twitter. What' great is that you will hit momentum with this strategy. I usually have 4-5 articles in progress at any time. But, writing one post a day will not only get your traffic up, it will improve your writing skills. Ian,

I'm not actually advising that you post every day. All I'm saying is that with practice and perseverance, you can easily create 500-1000 words a day.

Some of this can be posted on your own site, others can be used as guest posts like I did here.

On super productive days I might even churn out 3000+ words which means at weekends I get to spend time with family – something that will happen much more often when el bebe is born!

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to add to the conversation here Jordan. I hope your readers like it. If not, well I love criticism anyway so they can find me pretty easily to hurl abuse and small objects at me!

Have a good weekend all.

Ian

Although this contradicts Ian a bit, don't get so hell bent on posting every single day. It's all about just staying in the game & being active. If that means only 3-4 posts a week + a ton of social media, visiting other blogs/commenting, talking to people on Skype, joining in on webcasts, etc... then it's all good.
