This is a Blog written by myself, Ian Fenwick, the founder of Write Time Freelance Writers. I want to make this site a valuable resource, not only for my customers old and new, but for all budding writers out there in their lonely realms. I will try to offer any advice or free fiction tips that i find interesting, and I welcome comments and feedback. Please do feel free to contact me about the blog or anything else pertaining to the website. I like to network with people, in particular other writers.
I may also post previously unpublished articles and review on here from time to time. This can sometimes be because i couldn't find a market for them, but usually they're just my own ramblings that were probably never meant to see the light of day!
Enjoy!

How Often Should You Blog?
Well, it's like this really, if you blog once a week then you'll be doing alright, but if you blog twice a week you'll do better. There really isnt' anything more complicated about it than that really - the more the better.
However, what you do need to remember is that it's all about your keyword content (read previous post), and if you don't have the right keywords in your blog post, or if the relevance isn't there, then you may as well not bother.
When I say relevance I mean that if you have a blog about cat food and then you write a blog post about model tanks then that post is not likely to help you with your ranking because it's unlikely to have anything in the content relating to cats. You need to keep your posts about what you're selling; and let's face it, everyone's selling something aren't they? Otherwise, what's the point in having a blog?
Personally, if you're starting out with an affiliate blog then I would advise posting twice a week, with about 200-300 words with relevant, keyword rich content. This should start you off nicely. Then you need to build links etc; but this is a post for another day.
