How Many Blogs do You Blog On?

Miscellaneous Blog Tips 96 comments

A quick reader question:

how many blogs do you actively blog on?

I’m not asking about how many inactive blogs you own – but how many do you contribute to with a post of your own at least once a week?

PS: I’ve previously asked a similar question – how many blogs do you ‘own’? which found most owned one, but 13% owned more than 10. Of course, these days writing on a blog doesn’t mean you ‘own’ it as such with many group blogs and blog networks.

    I post to three weekly.

    Just one here. I honestly do not think I could make quality contributions to more than that.

  • Hannes Johnson

    March 17th, 2007 8:40 am

    I post on 2 blogs about once a week – I then post less frequently on 2 other blogs. I also have a few other “inactive” blogs…

    Not all of these blogs are “professional” blogs that I make money off.

    I have a personal blog for keepig in touch with friends that I’ve kept updated for more than four years. I have a second blog called “Something Good” that focuses on better living, and I generally update it about four times a week. Neither of these would qualify as a “problog,” though, as they’re not monetized. I’m also in the process of helping my husband develop his search and rescue blog and have a fourth one in the “incubation” period of getting started up. It will probably follow the trend of my Something Good blog with about four updates a week.

    Just one. Don’t have enough energy to do much more while working full time as well.

  • RachelAPP

    March 17th, 2007 9:03 am

    I used to have 6 blogs, 4 of them were active, eg a few posts a week, but i couldn’t keep it all up.

    So now, i focus on my blog Food For Your Mind, which is a blog that focuses on everything to do with culture, creativity and/or interesting/exciting things, and i also have a blog called Claim Your Story Or Spot The Fake One, which is a collection of funny dialogues i have heard on the streets of London, or i have made up (hence the title). I post on each of them about 5 times a week – that’s plenty enough for me!

  • Shawn Blanc

    March 17th, 2007 9:04 am

    I run and write on two blogs. I couldn’t handle any more than that if I wanted to without doing it full time.

  • dirvish

    March 17th, 2007 9:11 am

    I post to three at least weekly. I post to a couple more once or twice a month. A few more are most likely abandoned at this point.

  • Alexandre

    March 17th, 2007 9:15 am

    I own 5 blogs, but actively maintain 3. I post every day, perhaps with a one day gap sometimes.

  • Deb Ng

    March 17th, 2007 9:19 am

    I blog on seven blogs – four are mine and three are owned by others.

  • Adam

    March 17th, 2007 9:22 am

    One, considering another for my “general” writing, anecdotal, and not monetized. I’m not sure where I’m at on the blog learning curve, been active for a month.

    Quit my job as a 16 year claims adjuster to try my hand at “writing” as it was now or never otherwise it (the writing) thing, would keep eating away at my soul.

  • Mat

    March 17th, 2007 9:23 am

    Just the one personally!

    It’s connected with my custom tailored shirt business. Although I found myself posting about general business topics extremely quickly…

  • Ollie

    I blog ~daily on the five that I own. I contribute to two forums on a regular basis, and I’m stretching myself ever thinner, added with a 50+ hour/week job that has nothing to do with computers or the internet. I’m thinking of either giving it the big ‘go’ and employing someone to see out my ideas, or focusing tighter and decreasing my workload by giving up/combining one or two blogs.

  • ~C4Chaos

    March 17th, 2007 9:52 am

    i blog daily on two personal blogs. the main one hosted by typepad, the other on Zaadz. then i feed my main blog into other social networks like Facebook and Multiply.

    I post to two blogs.

    One gets a post every second day, I’m the only poster.

    The other I post to irregularly, there are two other contributors.

  • Collis

    March 17th, 2007 10:00 am

    I write for two blogs, one is a corporate flash one and one is my personal business one!

  • cd

    March 17th, 2007 10:03 am

    I update four weekly in addition to sporadically post on two “junk” blogs.

  • Martin

    March 17th, 2007 10:03 am

    I run and write on 7 blogs. daily on one private blog and every 3 to 6 days on six corporate or association blogs.

  • LearningNerd

    March 17th, 2007 10:13 am

    I have 3 blogs on completely different topics, plus one meta-blog that’s a central place for news/recaps about my site and what I’m learning. Since most of my posts are videos and screencasts, posting just once a week on all 3 main blogs is enough to keep me plenty busy!

  • Rehuel

    March 17th, 2007 10:13 am

    I own 2 blogs in which I write daily, one about web design and related issues, and the other just ranting a little about different things, but mostly about life in Surname, South America

  • Chuck

    March 17th, 2007 10:25 am

    Just two for me:

    Clickworthy Links (http://clickworthy.1gr8.com)
    and
    Clear Eye for A.I. – American Idol (http://blog.abetterai.com)

    However, American Idol is only 6 months out of the year…so I’ll need to re-evaluate in June. ;-)

  • Louis Gray

    March 17th, 2007 10:34 am

    I post to five.

    Mine, two SportsBlogs Nation sites, my family’s blog, and The Apple Blog.

  • Donna

    March 17th, 2007 10:45 am

    My personal blog and one new blog doing craft reviews http://www.craftcritique.com though we call ourselves reporters instead of bloggers.

  • Teresa

    March 17th, 2007 10:51 am

    One. Most of what I do I can post onto one. I knit..and draw so , it all kinda goes together.

  • JennDZ

    March 17th, 2007 11:02 am

    I just started a month ago, so I have one. But I am working on ideas to make 3-4 more on different topics. I am really excited to get those started as well! :)

  • Marcin

    March 17th, 2007 11:15 am

    I now blog on just one blog, although I have several more sites (I do not blog on them though – they are more community-oriented in a local market).

    I am also working on starting a second blog, related to my off-line ventures (in the translations market) – it will complement the company’s website.

  • ESN

    March 17th, 2007 11:15 am

    Just two. I am more of a reader but less of a writer.

  • Andrew Flusche

    March 17th, 2007 11:44 am

    I post several times per week on my main blog. I write one post weekly for another blog, owned by someone else.

    I have 5 other small blogs, which I post to every 10 days or so.

  • Randa

    March 17th, 2007 11:45 am

    I have four blogs. Two of them, my design business and my personal blog, involve actual writing of longer posts every 3 or 4 days, and two of them are monetized niche blogs that offer new content about every other day now that they are up and running. It’s a struggle to maintain all of them at a good level, but I am managing to keep my head above water.

  • Michael Carnell

    March 17th, 2007 12:18 pm

    Probably just three. I am trying to do better about getting posts on those three daily and my other blogs at least weekly, but I am still falling behind. Some weeks I just don’t feel motivated in some areas or else I am just too busy. So yes, I am one of those people who has six to ten blogs but lets more than half of them languish in neglect most of the time.

    I update my movie blog pretty much every day and then about 3 other blogs I post to about once a week.

  • Clickfire

    March 17th, 2007 12:38 pm

    2 serious ones a couple of small experimental ones. I cringe every time a Wordpress update is released.

  • Andy Beard

    March 17th, 2007 12:54 pm

    I have well in excess of 10 domains and most run on a blogging platform ;)

    I currently only deliberately maintain an active growing community on less than 10

    I get offers to join communal blogs fairly frequently, but don’t accept them for various reasons, mainly because on my blog there can be no potential conflict of interests, or disclosure problems.

  • Ben Evert

    March 17th, 2007 1:17 pm

    Right now, I post on a total of 4. 2 get updated on Monday’s, 1 gets updated Tuesday and Thursday, and the last one I post to everyday. I also have about 6 inactive blogs Currently working to restructure all of my blogs so that I can post more.

  • Anne

    March 17th, 2007 1:18 pm

    I write for two now and getting ready to open up another one.

  • My New Choice

    March 17th, 2007 1:25 pm

    Up until last week I had just been doing the one blog on personal finance and eliminating debt. However, I just joined the ranks of the narcissistic bloggers and started a site with my own name as the domain. So now I am trying to do two blogs but it is difficult to try and keep up with at least one post per day on both blogs while also working full time.

  • Sheila at Family Travel

    March 17th, 2007 1:35 pm

    I’m about to start blogging for 3 different blogs, all about travel. I’m somewhat concerned about “production,” but I think if I really get organized I can swing it. Don’t know how people can handle more than 3-4….

  • Alex

    March 17th, 2007 1:41 pm

    I have 1 blog, I’m not thinking about another one at this time…

  • Jermayn Parker

    March 17th, 2007 1:56 pm

    Just one regularly for me (http://www.germworks.net)

    on my business website (http://www.jp2designs.com) I posted once or twice a month which is usually news and that from my germworks blog anyway. and im also starting a youth website for my church which I will be involved in BUT apart from that not much else…

  • Mike

    March 17th, 2007 2:55 pm

    I have 4 that I post at regularly. One main one that gets most of my attention and then 3 others that get a few posts a week. I have a 5th that I am just starting to look into adding into the schedule.

  • carl

    March 17th, 2007 3:03 pm

    hmm?? about 5 or 6?

  • Thilak

    March 17th, 2007 4:06 pm

    I own two blogs and i actively write on both of them

  • Paul Jacobson

    March 17th, 2007 4:15 pm

    I post to 4 blogs a couple times a week (not counting Facebook and Twitter). I have another 2 blogs (including my personal Vox blog) which I update when I have something to post. I also have two podcasts I publish every two weeks or so and I am probably starting another one soon.

  • CabSav

    March 17th, 2007 4:57 pm

    Four blogs, (average once a week). Could not cope with any more unless I did it full time, and am really struggling with four. Thinking of cutting back to two.

  • Chee Kui

    March 17th, 2007 5:22 pm

    I update 4 blogs on regular basis. I own several blogs, the rest are dying slowly..

  • Richard

    March 17th, 2007 5:39 pm

    7 blogs which are regularly updated – at least once a week, often everyday. Another 5 blogs where I lost enthusiasm.

  • Oscar

    March 17th, 2007 5:47 pm

    I write at two blogs. One daily and the other every now and then when it´s needed since other people write for it. I used to have a third one but abandoned it to focus on the other two.

  • Chelsea

    March 17th, 2007 6:01 pm

    I post on one daily and two others at least twice a week.

  • Mike Panic

    March 17th, 2007 6:09 pm

    Two, both of which I blog on at least once a day, six days a week.

  • natnit

    March 17th, 2007 6:19 pm

    Just the one blog for me. I tried starting up a second one that actually had a developed-niche, but I got bored and gave it up.

  • Avinash

    March 17th, 2007 6:58 pm

    I write for two blogs that I own. I don’t think I’ll have enough time left to research about a particular topic if I write on more than two blogs. I try to post articles that are really useful.

    I do *read* thousands of blogs/week though.

  • Everton

    March 17th, 2007 7:33 pm

    I started a 2nd blog a few months ago that is starting to do quite well. I also have a forum for Connected Internet that is starting to get quite popular

  • John Metcalfe

    March 17th, 2007 7:42 pm

    I just have 1 blog that I post to at least 3-4 times per week at the moment. Just focusing on getting some decent traffic to this 1 before moving on to building another (maybe!)

    John

  • Paolo Amoroso

    March 17th, 2007 7:50 pm

    I actively blog on 1 blog.

  • Andrew

    March 17th, 2007 7:53 pm

    Just the one. I had another but shut it down as I didn’t feel the quality was right. I didn’t care enough about it and gradually it became inactive.

    It was the only blog I had advertising on and as a commercial activity it was a success, but from an intellectual perspective it suffered from forced blogging.

  • Razeen

    March 17th, 2007 8:10 pm

    I want to focus & give a good contribution for my blog, so i post just for one blog.

  • Tim

    March 17th, 2007 9:06 pm

    I blog actively on four; two personal (one in English and one in Swedish), a Swedish one with daily rhymes called Rimnytt and a newly started English one with daily haikus, Now Haiku.

  • Beth Robinson

    March 17th, 2007 10:11 pm

    Two. Every other day to daily on my artist blog. Once a week, sometimes twice on my mba blog.

  • Susheel

    March 17th, 2007 10:40 pm

    I’ve just started actively blogging one one blog about photography http://phototip.blogspot.com but I do post to one other blog once in a while http://whitespace.umeshgopinath.com which belongs to a pal of mine.

  • Cate O'Malley

    March 17th, 2007 11:07 pm

    Nine actively write now, just added another one this past week. Some are my own, and some are for writing jobs.

  • Juuso - Game Producer

    March 17th, 2007 11:50 pm

    One – updating daily.

  • Alfa

    March 18th, 2007 12:00 am

    I update 6 blogs regularly.

  • Clark

    March 18th, 2007 12:14 am

    At the moment, three: POW – The blog at http://www.tepidblog.blogspot.com, Single Dads at http://www.singledads.wordpress.com, and Smart Resumes at http://www.smartresumes.blogspot.com.
    By this time next week, I think I’ll be at four.
    Then I’ll be very close to my realistic limit.

  • Ryan J. Parker

    March 18th, 2007 12:58 am

    Three, and that’s enough for me! (I like to rhyme.)

  • Simmons

    March 18th, 2007 1:09 am

    Only 1. And its not for money :D.

  • Sherri - The Rebel Housewife

    March 18th, 2007 1:16 am

    I have 2 blogs, which I am currently transitioning to Wordpress.

    In the ideal world, one will be daily (Random Rebel Coffee Blog) and the other will be weekly (Rebel Reviews).

    I have been blogging for several years, good traffic, little revenue — I feel like a newbie still, trying to figure all of this out!

  • Steve M

    March 18th, 2007 1:34 am

    I post to my personal blog daily, my main opinion blog two or three times a week, and half a dozen of experimental niche blogs as and when – but at least weekly. I also contribute to a few friends blogs when I have something to share. So whats that – about 8.

  • Patrick

    March 18th, 2007 1:42 am

    7.

  • Jeff

    March 18th, 2007 1:47 am

    Two blogs for me!

  • Lynnette

    March 18th, 2007 2:18 am

    I post to 7 “niche” content blogs regularly.

    Four of them, I try to post daily or every other day. The other 3, I post once a week.

    I started with 2 main blogs that I wrote daily for the last 3 years.
    Now, I have 7 (don’t want any more) and I officially blog for a living full-time.

  • Deb/NJ

    March 18th, 2007 2:33 am

    8 blogs…I write to each of them at least 3 times a week. I added niche blogs, and was working off general blogs for awhile.

  • Explorer

    March 18th, 2007 5:24 am

    I have three blogs……one is personal blog where I share thoughts and fun with friends; the 2nd is for self-learning, the 3rd one is for ebusiness and marketing stuff.

  • Karen Porter

    March 18th, 2007 5:32 am

    3 blogs

  • Mike

    March 18th, 2007 6:59 am

    I have 7 blogs and blog on 4 of them regularly, usually daily. One of them, cw-chronicles.com/blog, is used for posting 19th century material related to the American civil war from the current date in 1863. In 2008, I’ll be publishing material to it from 1864. I publish a public domain poem a day on a poetry blog. I also have an outdoor related blog and a personal “general purpose” blog.

    Three of the blogs also have a web site associated with them.

    The 3 blogs that I don’t use were “precursor” blogs for the ones I now have.

    I don’t “officially” blog for a living. I have time to devote to the blogs because I recently retired.

  • Jason Bartholme

    March 18th, 2007 8:05 am

    A few months ago, I migrated my blog to WordPress. I really enjoy the application and see the potential for a few more blogs for other obscure topics. As of right now, I post on one blog.

  • Jason Spence

    March 18th, 2007 8:06 am

    I post to 5 blogs at least once a week. However, only 1 of them averages about 1 post per day. I find that with working full time, this is slightly more than I can handle. I plan to orphan 1 of them in the near future.

  • GP

    March 18th, 2007 10:52 am

    There’s 5 -10 I post to regularly (once a week or more) I have 3 blogs, the one that focuses on the innkeeping, one that focuses on travel in montana and another one in progress on the building/remodeling of the b&B prior to moving. Hmmm :)

    Three, more or less, and maybe four if you count Twitter. The food blog is the main focus, plus I have a personal blog for friends and a Tumblr blog just for fun.

  • HART (1-800-HART)

    March 18th, 2007 6:06 pm

    I think this is a loaded question …. contribute to with a post of your own .. some of my blogs I contribute and post articles by others or pictures. Does that make me less of a blogger? Although, it’s a loaded question because due to my offline work I haven’t been contributing much online actually .. reading more and commenting in short spurts though. Weird because the less time I have I probably could be contributing and posting more often, yet it’s like the opposite sometimes.

  • Viviane

    March 19th, 2007 1:22 am

    3 professional blogs, 1 secret one.

  • Brandon Hopkins

    March 19th, 2007 2:51 am

    I have about 10 blogs, and post to about 5 of them weekly, 3 of them daily, and one of them 3-5 times daily.

  • Jay Wilson

    March 19th, 2007 12:47 pm

    I own one blog, contribute on a part time basis to another.

  • Anne-Marie

    March 19th, 2007 1:31 pm

    One I write at daily. One I write at three times a week. One I write at on the weekends. Three I write a at least once a week, but more like two to three. One I write at every six to eight weeks – but a block of posts at one time. Another one two to four times per month. Finally, another one I do 4-5 posts per week and a couple of very large “guide” posts per month.

    Some I “own” and others I write for on contract. It’s a bit insane, but the days go by quickly and I can do it around my children’s schedules.

  • Helen

    March 19th, 2007 3:34 pm

    I own one that I do a post or two a day, I share one with a friend, and then I am paid to blog at another one so I do about 2 – 3 posts a day there. Good thing I love to ramble about fashion, because sometimes i can be be making about 6 posts a day. But it usually never gets that extreme!

  • Dave C.

    March 19th, 2007 5:03 pm

    Not 100% sure how to answer this because I actively post on two blogs, that I own, but I also help out someone else on their blog. They write the outline for their post and I go in and clean it up considerably.

    So if that counts, then 3.

  • Chris

    March 19th, 2007 5:48 pm

    Hi.

    I contribute daily to 3 blogs. One about technology, One about health and the other about life.

    Though it’s tiring, I learn so much in all 3 areas of my blogs.

  • Trevor

    March 19th, 2007 9:48 pm

    I currently write at least one post per day on three different blogs.

    I am also planning a fourth blog , but this may only have one or two posts per week.

  • Gary

    March 19th, 2007 10:42 pm

    I post several times daily on one, weekly on another and sporadically on several others. I spend almost as much time coaching a few of the bloggers in our little network.

  • Mephala

    March 20th, 2007 3:51 am

    1 personal, 1 tech, and 1 authored by my 5 cats. :)
