Advice for New Bloggers: Quality Over Quantity

Posted on February 12, 2008

Advice for New Bloggers is a new regular feature here at Sarah’s Cucina Bella. Inspired by Dine and Dish’s Adopt-A-Blogger event, and written with my adoptee in mind (Hi, Rachel! Click here to check out Fairy Cake Heaven), it appears every Tuesday.

This one is pretty simple.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of wanting to produce a lot of content for the sake of doing so. Maybe you think it will drive more traffic to your site or perhaps you think that it will help you to gain credibility in the blogosphere faster. Lots of bloggers, myself included, have fallen into that trap at one time or another. But when I looked back at the breadth of quantity content I created, it was no where near as good as the quality content I created before and after that point.

Posting every day is great, but it can drain you — especially if you have 50 million other things going on in your life. Take it slow, write every piece with thought and care (and don’t forget those photos!) and your blog will be something to be proud of.

See? Simple.
