Blogging can be a business. Many of us are hoping to eventually earn a nice part time income (or at least cover our hosting fees!).

But the problem is that when you blog part time, you usually do something else full time. Which means that there is very little time left for writing quality material.

I came across a post called Exponential Blogging - Part II at ProBlogger. It is an old one from 2005, where Darren is discussing his rise to blogging stardom. In his reflection he states that he posted, on average, 25 times per day. I assume that this number of posts was for a group of blogs - not just ProBlogger. Here is the excerpt:

Following are some of the factors that have helped my blogs grow their readership over the past year and a half (and which have had a flow on effect to increased earnings).

More posts - the longer you blog the bigger your archives section becomes and the more doorways there are into your blog. A blog with 1000 posts has a lot better chance of being found by readers using Google and RSS than a blog of 100 posts (all other things being equal). Blog 3 posts per day for a year and you’ll soon have a 1095 post blog. I try and post 25 times per day or over 9000 times a year. Work hard on writing quantities of content and you’ll contribute tot eh exponential growth of your earnings.

Well, it seems that we have our work cut out for us!
