I struggle with it quite a bit actually, but in my experience it's always best to have a few saved back before you launch your blog. It gives you so much more liberty to promote your blog without worrying about neglecting your content. @ Tom, it can definitely be tough.

On the other hand, that sort of provides me a built in topic to write about. If I've spent the day marketing the blog, the next day I write about what I did.The point is you have to consistently provide quality content and don't let your readers expectations down. If you start out posting once a day, make sure you continue to post at least once a day. If you start out posting 3 times a week, don't allow yourself to drop below that level.Other than that, I'd invite you to try some of the methods I've detailed and also continue to read this blog as I'll cover more and more marketing methods that hopefully you can use to help gain a larger following. Patricia – whether you have 12 articles written or 10, my point is simply to have enough articles ready that you can continue to publish quality content even while you’re working on promoting your site.

After reading your introduction, I decided to check out your blog. Your advice is good for someone who is new to blogging. I very quietly started my blog with the help of Slade Roberson who is also on the forum with us. Slade's advise was to get at least 12 articles written soon. I officially launched my blog when I had 12 articles written by sending a letter with one of my articles included to all of my family and friends. I wrote my first article on June 1. I officially launched the site on June 25, 2007. I have 6 subscribers so far. I am not paying much attention to numbers right now as I build a site that I am proud of. People keep telling me to be patient, so I am. The number will come. In the meantime, I am subscribing to other sites on blog building to learn more about the process. I still don't know much of the language even. Thanks for the good information you are providing. Ben, I found you on Authority Blogger Forum.
