Default How much content should I be writing?

With so many days being article submissions around how much content should I write? Should my content be about my other articles? Or my blog? Or just things about that topic in general with a few backlinks to my page?

Hi ASCW

I would say articles can be between around 300-500 words and then have links in your resource box back to your blog or website - obviously always remembering the good content rule! If you've got longer posts on your blog or info on your website, then the articles could be trailers for these, with people finding more info when they click through from your links in your resource box. I don't know if you've heard of Caroline Middlebrook, but she's writing a great series just now on article writing, marketing etc which you might want to check out

Hope that's helpful

All the best

You can post useful and informative articles about your actual blog content to article directories like ezinearticles. Then people will get motivated to click through your link in the resource box.

I don't mean how long should my content be, but rather how many entries? I wish that at some point in the challenge we had been told to write X amount of articles or something along that nature, it seems that the past few days I'll go through a training day and it'll involve submitting an article and then I'll write another one. I'm perfectly willing to write as much as I'm going to need to write, but starting a day and then finding out that I need to write more content for that day, during that day is a little discouraging, esp when I may not have the time to do it right then. I just wish that I could have my articles prepared beforehand so I could follow the lesson with them. That's my real question, how many pieces of content should I write?
