    How long will this last? A few days? Weeks? Or?

    It's not bad if you're enjoying your self.

    But hopefully you are getting eye balls on all that work.

      actually yes it's enjoyable and I have a good system down with voice to text and can do the whole thing from my phone. I guess what I'm getting at is that I'm wondering what sheer volume might be like if anyone has tried something like that

    posting 2 blog post everyday is really great with 1000+ words....the more you are consistent with blogging the more traffic you can generate...but do remember the quality should be really good...and do share your blog post in social networking sites...!!

    Posting is good. But make sure that you are spending as much effort getting links. Might even want to take some of that prodigious output and do some guest posts. Do a Hubpage, Squidoo Lens....spread the love a bit

    Good luck...I wish I had your work ethic!

    My success has been in blogging. Make sure your posts have a point and are centered around a group of related keywords. Quality over quantity, but quantity has a power of its own. It is important to post and then share it. My beginning strategy was a post a day and a good link a day. It worked. Professional bloggers have staffs making many posts/day. Be consistent with your velocity.

    Ben, been there, done that

    This leads to failure. 99.999% of the time.

    Here's why: when I tried to take a shotgun approach, I did it from a place of fear. So I burned out quickly because the fear-based approach, with any strategy, is not sustainable.

    Know what worked better for me? Writing one, 1000 word post weekly. Releasing a new eBook bi-weekly, and a new podcast bi-weekly, then diving into a prolific guest posting and blog commenting campaign.

    Chris notes too; this ain't sustainable. Slow down, relax, do a little creating on your blog and go offsite to create, a bunch, to see optimal results.

    If you blog a lot and you have readers for each blog then its not bad.
    But if you no readers then it might be waste of time.

    This will just not be sustainable for 99% humans out there.

    Kind of like running a marathon everyday for a year

      No mater how much you blog it is completely worthless if no traffic, so focus on blog as well as marketing as well..........

    Shotgun approaches don't typically result in profitable businesses. More often than not, as Robert says, they are not sustainable and will lead to quick burnout or jumping to another seemingly "easier" way to make money.

    Specific, well designed, focused, and tightly-niched businesses are less work, more fun, easier to draw an audience around, and almost always more profitable for a solo business owner. Why?

    It's all about targeting your audience. A shotgun approach doesn't focus on specific problems, wants, desires and hopes of a like-minded group. It casts too wide a net. It tries to entice too many diverse interests. And when that happens, too much of the audience is bored to death when you talk about or present offers that don't appeal to them.

    It is much more preferable to gather an audience whose interests and needs are very similar. Then every blog post engages and is relevant to every audience member. Every product your offer or affiliate campaign you run can be targeted to everyone on your list.

    Online business is all about serving your audience and that is the place to start. So rather than worrying about making two posts of 1K words every day (that is not important) - consider what your audience wants - what will be valuable to your subscribers. Ask them what they want. Many of them will say they don't have time to read two long posts each day.

    Hell yeah, thats great. If you can keep that up you're going to make $$$. You need to build your audience though.

    Invest a little bit even, $5 a day is plenty in building your social media presence. Get people looking, commenting and sharing.

    The money might take a little while to come but it will come with building your audience.

    It is fine to get 2 blog posts live on your website but be sure that they have different timings so that subscribers get alerts on both blog separately.

    I believe it depends on your target audience and they reading habits. I myself have two blogs and post each time I have a minute free from my job for https://customwriting.com/write-my-essay service. And money really matters as the posts above pointed out.

    Try it for a month and see how that goes. Then more you blog the more traffic you get.

    If you're not doing anything to build links to those posts OR you're just posting random keyword-driven stuff, you will just WASTE TIME.

    Believe it or not, to drive traffic with blogs, you have to find the traffic first and write posts that your traffic already cares about or actively seeks out.

    Otherwise, you'll blog and blog... and blog until you burn out and quit.

    If you quit, you fail.

    So... avoid burnout by blogging SMARTER. You don't necessarily have to produce volume.
