Is immediately.
You aren’t the best blogger, neither am I, no one is. Even if you post 5,000 articles in two years, you can still be better, learn more and grow further. You learn by doing, by putting yourself (in this case, your article) out there. Post your blog articles immediately so you are forced to work on more to post and thus can continue growing and learning quicker.
Even more importantly, you need to be producing a lot more articles than you think. There needs to be enough ideas and stories to populate your blog without the need to schedule one a day for the next 2 months.
After all, how could you do that to your readers? How can you deprive them of valuable information, how can you make them wait for something that could change their lives, of something that somebody may need now, not 2 months from now.
The days in which you could become popular with one single post are over. Before, you could follow your audience closely enough to know exactly when to post a particular piece of information. Now, you post as much as you can because there is always someone somewhere looking for the answer you have.
Stay Positive & Your Readers Don’t Need To Wait For You, They Will Search For The Answer Somewhere Else. Will You Have Your Article Posted First?

Whenever I schedule a post it’s usually a later hour within the same day. I try to aim for a time when I’m more likely to be noticed, However, I try not to keep a backlog of articles and posts because I can’t write that much in advance, but also because posts then feel a little artificial. I almost always decide what to write the night before.
Given the type of content you provide, it seems logical that people would want to read it later in the evening.
I agree with your “artificial” comment. The passion you put in a post decreases the longer you wait to post it. Plus, you may begin to second guess the quality of the post. Don’t. Even if it’s ugly.
Brainstorming also never hurts. Way to go!
Yeah. Blogging has been a successful exercise because it’s letting me write exactly what I feel like.
Reblogged this on The Bard of Steel and commented:
Ray Bradbury (quoted before in this blog) said a writer should do a weekly short story for at least a year; it will be impossible to write fifty two bad stories in a row, and the experience will be invaluable. Ever since I opened the Bard of Steel I’ve felt the same could be said about blogging. I know I’ve improved a lot as a writer. Have you?
