A question I get asked a lot, as a fellow article marketer, is how many articles you should write per day. It’s funny how people actually expect a hard and fast number for this question. Truth is, there are no hard and fast numbers due to all the variables involved. This article is going to tackle some of those variables so you can see why this is a tough question to give a general answer to.

Let’s first start with the niche itself. I can tell you from personal experience that a niche as competitive as making money online is going to require quite a few articles written daily if you’re going to put any kind of a dent in the niche itself. I probably get about 500 article views per day from well over 1,000 articles in that niche. Not very many when you consider how many articles are out there.

And yet, I have articles that get me over 1,000 views a month or over 30 views per day. And that’s just from one article. Naturally, these articles are not in a niche that’s so competitive like making money online. So the actual niche you target is going to have a big influence on how many articles you’re going to need to write in order to get the amount of traffic you’re looking for.

Another variable, regardless of how many articles you SHOULD write is how many articles you CAN write. We only have so many hours in the day and can only write so much. Some people take 30 minutes to an hour or more to write an article. Some can write an article in 15 minutes or less if they use dictation software. So regardless of how many articles you SHOULD write, you are limited by what you CAN write. Of course there is the option of hiring people to write for you. But then you are limited to how much money you have to spend on outsourcing.

Finally, there is only so much you can write about certain subjects. You may want to write two or three articles a day about a certain subject only to find that the amount of info ON that subject can be written in two or three articles tops and then there is nothing left to write. So there is another limitation.

Ideally, the more you write, the more traffic you can get. But if you’re looking for a hard and fast number, it doesn’t exist.
