It's been a daily habit of mine for 5+ years (August will make 6 years straight).  And I don't buy into the "you have to sacrifice quality for the sake of quantity" argument.  There are ample topics out there, and some of it is repeated topics (e.g. monthly market reports and such) that get updated.  In general, it's about 30 minutes a day to draft a post, and considering the return I get with leads for our business, it's one of the best time investments I make each day.

Sure if you're committed to doing so.

I've posted one every day for at least 3 or 4 years now.  They weren't all about staging but they weren't just thrown up either. That said, I do it for my own personal discipline. 

I've done that many in a year, but not at the rate of one a day.  I need an occasional day off.

A piece of cake Michael. If you have extra time one day make some market report templates and drafts. Schedule and post them when you are on the run and do regular posting as you have time. There are many bloggers who do more than  365 in a year.

Absolutely. I believe anything is possible ... we must want it enough to accomplish it. 

Yes, I'm sure some on Active Rain hit this mark.. I think if a person commits to write 365 year it's possible.  

Definitely.  At (10/week) you can easily get 520 in a year, if you count market blogs.

Yes it is possible and I have done it for 4 years. Now some days I write more than one and put them in the scheduler to publish on a day I am very busy or out of pocket. 

This is a classic QUANTITY vs. QUALITY debate. If you slightly rephrase the question as "Is it possible to write 365 Quality Blog Posts per year?" then my answer is no.... at least not if you plan on accomplishing anything else during the day. If all you do is write blog posts then it is possible to write that many but I still question on if the quality would be there. 

Easily.

Many have done so.  Liz and Bill Spear come to mind.

Michael,

Yes, I certainly have done that.  A

I do think it is possible if that's what you want to do. I love coming to AR and blogging, reading post, etc. However, I do get busy and since it isn't my first priority, I only post a couple days per week. That's one reason I'm thankful for re-blogging. Sometimes I find great blogs I missed when I wasn't able to get on AR.

Possible? Yes. Easy? Maybe for some

It's not only possible...it is probable..many AR members find a blog as necessary as coffee in the morning !

Possible - yes.  Likely - not so much.  Except for Roger D. Mucci 

Yes

Hi Michael - I've been doing that for the last 3+ years, but I do cheat and write a bunch at a time and then post one a day.

of course it is..... I've done 1000+.... 

It's possible, but I would never put myself under that schedule.

Yes, many do this.

Michael J. Perry Sure, if someone has the dedication to write one every day.

Yes, whether it's literally or just averages out that way by year's end.

Not sure they'd all be "page turners" but I'm sure a few gems would be in there. We authors write daily for exercise, but I wouldn't post many of my rants or mind dumps, it would scare away my blog followers, so I sort & qualify before posting. 

If quantity trumps quality of course you can.

Yes.   There are some in this forum who are very consistent and write well.  It depends on what you want.   

Yes. I have done it for several years.

Not for me it isn't

Yes, if they are disciplined.

yes and there are people here who do it - 

Michael J. Perry - 365 posts in a year - possible. One a day, I am not sure. Though one can do it - using 'Scheule' feature of ActiveRain.

Certainly, it's just part of the (fun) daily to-do that has the added plus of marketing payback.

Yes,  I wrote over 500 last year but I didn't do one everyday.  Some days I wrote 3 or more and others none, but with determinaion, it can be done one per day.

Why not?? I'm with Sally K. & David L. Hanson "It's not only possible...it is probable..!!"

I hope all my competitors take that challenge

I think it's possible, as I see so many here on AR doing it ... or close to it anyway.  But I will admit, I'm not likely to among them.  While it remains a goal to post daily, I also accept that some days probably won't allow for it.  I used to beat myself over it ... not anymore ...

Gene

Oh my goodness, can you believe how much your business would soar if you were specific in your subjects (niche) and wrote that much. Several here do it well. 

Possible but probably not probable (at least for me).

sure.........

Not me.

Possible but not easy ...

Absolutely but not for me .

Yes, I do think it's possible to do 'A Blog A Day', though not for me Michael J. Perry!  I never seem to have enough to say or to share . . .   

Not me.  It takes me hours to write a good blog...you know, one with a good topic, good angle,  good keywords, good grammer, good pictures, good length, good SEO...

Sure I could probably slap a couple paragraphs together every day if I had nothing else to do.

Eve

Anythings possible. But personally I'm one of those quality vs quantity type.

The quality vs quantity discussion is a good one.  I would have a problem generating enough quality discussions.

Yes, so looking as you can sit down and schedule them in advance. 

Yes! The only time I miss is when on vacation on a cruise!

Of course, its possible.   The question is, . . . . . Will a person be committed enough to do it ?   With the "scheduling" function, it is easier than ever.

Of course.

Three a week are robot generated

One is a market report on a community

One is a "observation" within the region

One is a listing.

And one a robot 'self-help' blog.

Does anyone want to read all that stuff? Abuse the readers and you will have none.

I think it is possible if you have free time every day or a big block of free time where you can create them and schedule them to post for a later date.  I tried that and created an entire weeks worth of post but they never did post, so therefore I only post when I have time to be creative.  

You've all seen how I write--I'm neither succinct nor silent on many topics. I cannot crank out blogs every day. I've tried, but I take writing so seriously and edit and revise so much, it's not feasible. I applaud and stand in envy of those who can. I do three blogs a week across four different platforms and that's enough writing for me!

If you round robin your niche platforms, you better be. But the 2000 word + pieces are more war and peace and take the time they need to craft the quality ones, not just SEO gaming or for the sheer numbers.

Absolutely.  Did it for years.

I think it's completely possible, just requires some discipline at first and then it becomes sort of second nature. I've done it for a month straight, for a contest, so I know it can be done and gets easier, without sacrificing quality, as Liz and Bill Spear pointed out. There are so many topics swirling in my head, I should challenge MYSELF to post each day.

It is 100% possible and what i strive to do since i became active here 4 plus yers ago. 

yes, if you are not concerned with quality

My questions are: (1.) are they quality posts - as measured by your target audience- and (2.) is this the best use of your time? As a solo practitioner the time I spend blogging has to be outside of regular work hours, because they aren't billable hours.

i dont think it is unless you outsource it. 

Only if you have a special soft-wear. Another Q: why would you post so much daily? 

It is but i do not

Yes for many who are totally dedicated to getting their message out...

 What is new today? Oh, we have New York, New Jersey, new president to be, new deployed workers to construct the Great Wall in the south.....

There was a time when it was possible for me. Now I'm lucky if I get in a couple a week. 

Not for me!

Yes and there are a number of AR members that do just that!

Hey, Michael !
I there are no doubts that it is theoretically possible to write 1 post each day. The question is if it's worth to spend a short period of time to write generic blog posts or it's best too spend a week or something to make something that is unique and offers a USP that no other type of content can actually provide.
First, make difference between quality and value. A post with a very poor quality may have a great value for the reader. That is a perfect opportunity to get a lot of traffic with a generic post on at topic with high interest which is repeated again and again because its evergreen.
When you look for quality it's a lot harder but this offers different benefits. Creating a blog post that offers unique information that cannot be found anywhere on the web which has been gathered from somewhere else through other forms of research etc. can make a lot of people to actually link to you as a the initial source of the subject. That will brind you traffic, backlinks (a lot of link juice) and will help you get some brand identity ? Do you agree with me ?

I write one a day and have for several years.

It is possible but I do not think so as you must consider illness, friends that need help.  Therre are only 24 hours in a day and some days make it difficult.

It's probably possible but would take a great deal of discipline and planning to produce high quality blogs consistently. 

Yes, I do think it is possible, especially if part of a daily marketing / advertising platform. I have written almost daily for the past 7+ years and have averaged more than one post a day. 

I've been writing a blog every day for 10 years now. So I guess the answer is YES.

You bet

I was going to recommend asking Liz and Bill Spear but clearly there's no need.

This can easily be done with the "auto-schedule" feature where you can knock out a few week's worth of blogs on a slow day.  I haven't done it & don't have the desire to, but could certainly see it being possible.

I agree with Nina Hollander, If that is your goal and you are committed, it is possible.
