Poll: Do You Blog On The Weekend?

by Jeff 6/7/2008 9:08:00 PM

Part of getting through to your audience is knowing not just how to reach them, but when to reach them. There is no doubt that blogging activity, for the most part, cuts back on the weekend. Heck, even the example on the login screen of Google Analytics shows huge dips on the weekends. But I thought it would be interesting to find out just how much attention people pay to blogging when they aren't stuck at work and the wild weekend rolls around. Having more insight into this would not only give you a better idea of what your peers are doing, but hopefully give you a better idea of what to expect from your readers as well.

So please, take a second and mark off the option that most accurately describes your blogging activity on the weekend. When you are finished, please pass this on to every blogger you know. Help spread the word so we can get as detailed of a survey as possible.

Thanks everyone! I hope you are having a great weekend!

Jeff

Excellent idea and worth finding out. I think it will be even different breaking it down to weekends in the summer vs. winter.

looking forward to the results.

As someone who has a "normal" job during the week the weekend is the time when I've got the time to post and read. I do it also during the week but then I sometimes feel a bit stressed.

I try to post at least once during the weekend. I think any activity is better than no activity. But then again, I'm still the beginner here. I'd love to see the results of this poll.

Just when I thought there was a reliable poll services... Looks like 99Polls.com is having some trouble, so I had to temporarily take the poll down. I'll get to the bottom of this and update you soon. Stay tuned...

I definitely notice traffic being down on the weekends. For now anyway, I'm trying to post at least 1 new blog a day. With a new blog, I want to get as much content up as possible for new visitors to peruse through. Also posting on the weekend could give readers a reason to subscribe to your blog so they don't miss stuff when they aren't around.

OK! Looks like 99Polls.com got their act together. Things appear to be working again. The poll being down took a little momentum out of this post. Please spread the word so we can get a good response on the survey.

Oh...I can anyone is wondering. I try blog a little on the weekend, but have a hard time keeping up. With a pregnant wife, my weekends are starting to fill up with "honey do" jobs.

I always post on the weekend, but notice many of the blogs I follow don't. I usually leave my weekend post up through at least Monday morning to catch all those who don't read blogs on the weekend.

I have just cut back on Weekend work..... 7 days a week was not gelling well with my life, sadly I blog for a living so need to make money... but also need a life. Balance is key!!

Well said Masked one! As Forest said, balance is key. You will burn yourself out and not enjoy blogging anymore if you keep at it 7 days a week. You need to be able to enjoy your weekend.

Looks like most people agree as the middle option ("blogging here and there" seems to be most popular.

The problem with weekends is that they fall on the weekend. Blogging is fun...but not as much fun as going out to the lake, Disneyland, The Strip, or just walking the dog....
