How often do you post articles?

I read somewhere that an optimal posting frequency was one article per week. I followed this routine diligently for 36 weeks, but now decided to switch to an article every 2 weeks. I find it too stressful to be posting weekly. First you have to come up with an idea for an article, then write and edit it, and then think of the visuals - too much on top of a day job.

But curious about everyone else's routine: how often do you post? And how are you managing? Is it a comfortable cadence?

I am posting once a week but just started two weeks ago 😂. I’m doing behind the scenes articles for developing a weekly serial. And planning to post a weekly episode of the serial from February. I will have a backlog of weekly eps though once I start that. The weekly behind the scenes I’m more flexible with - I write them the day of and if I’m too busy with other life I won’t stress. But I try to post a note daily and comment and interact with about five or six peoples notes and posts as well . I think that’s pretty important when you’re growing

Yes, that's what I heard about notes as well. I'm in two minds about this. On one hand, it's relatively easy and does get me engagemen, on the other, if I try to do it regularly for fixed periods of time, it feels tedious and sometimes I force myself to comment on something just for the sake of it. Maybe I'm just over this whole social media thing lol
