When you start up a brand new blog, unless you are already well known in the industry, it can be hard to gain a large following of subscribers very quickly. And since many people judge a blog’s success based on those crucial subscriber numbers, it makes sense to start off with a bang to get your blog lots of attention.

One of the ways you can do this is by starting off your new blog with a schedule of blogging once a day – or at least once every weekday – until you have hit the point where you have regular readers. Here are the five reasons why you should make daily blogging a part of your blogging routine to ensure your new blog gets the attention it deserves.

Getting noticed
When it is a brand new blog, people are going to land on it and notice just how frequently you are blogging. When they see that you are blogging daily, it will get noticed and you can end up with subscribers who subscribe because they are under the expectation that you will have something new and interesting each day. There are plenty of times I have been on a blog and have decided to subscribe or not subscribe based on whether or not it seems that the blogger is actually blogging frequently. There is no use subscribing to a blog if the last post was in January.

Regularity
Your readers will come to expect to see a new entry every day. They will look forward to reading something new from you each day. And when your readers are anticipating your latest blog post it increases the odds those readers will become subscribers and recommend your blog to others.

Variety
The more you blog, the more variety you offer your readers. One blog entry might not appeal to a particular reader, but the next one might. So keep each blog entry unique to give all your readers the variety that is lacking on many blogs out there. If someone notices that over the past few weeks only two blog posts were actually useful, they might unsubscribe. But when you up your post count, it is that more likely that more of your posts were useful to that person.

Search referrals & Popularity
When you have more blog entries, you have increased the odds that someone will link to you because you have more blog entries for potential readers to find in the search engines as well as increasing the odds that someone will link to it or submit each new one to social media sites. Just like the lottery, the more blog entries you have, the more chances you have that someone will make it popular.

Habit
Just like anything you do daily, blogging daily can become a habit too. So make your daily blogging part of your daily routine, not something outside the routine that you need to remind yourself to do. Whether you decide to blog right after you check your emails in the morning or you do it after getting the kids in bed, try and set aside the same time every day so it becomes a routine habit instead of just a chore.

While daily blogging can start to wear on a blogger, particularly if it is a subject you can’t write about easily off the top of your head, it can be a great marketing tactic for a new blog. Perhaps you start writing blog entries in the few weeks prior to launch so you have plenty of content to publish as a daily post, or you could explore hiring writers or inviting guest bloggers. But if you are starting to grow your blog and want to get noticed, writing quality daily posts is one great way to get the job done.
