Stop-Start Posting
Bursts of posting then silence — the algorithm and audience lose track.
Diagnosis
What it is
You post every day for a week, feel tired, then disappear for two. Then you come back and it feels like starting over.
It is a little like starting over. Your readers forget you, and so does the feed.
Steady beats busy. Three good posts a week, every week, beats fifteen one week and none the next.
Common symptoms
- You go quiet for a week or more at a time.
- You post in bursts when you feel inspired.
- Every comeback feels slower than the last.
- You don't keep a list of post ideas.
Why it happens
Bursts come from waiting for inspiration. Steady posting comes from a simple system: a list of ideas, a set schedule, and posts written ahead.
30-second self-test
Look back four weeks. Did you post at least three times in every single week? If not, it's Stop-Start Posting.
