How-To Spam Your Own Blog

The best laid plans of mice and men…
Thursday, Friday and Saturday real life intervened in my plans for becoming mega rich by writing/blogging and I did not get any writing done. On Sunday when I did make time to write I worked on my novel and so I do not have any posts for this week written, or even half written.
I needed to work on my fiction, if I don’t make the time to work on my novel it will take me five years to finish it. And as novelists only get paid once they have finished their novels (nobody buys a half finished work of fiction) I don’t think that I can wait five years before being paid.
However as I consider my blog my day job as I am establishing myself as novelist I was worried that I have not posted anything to my blog for nearly a week.
I was going to write a post about that fact that I do not have anything to post, when I realised that posting for the sake of having something to post was simply a form of self-spamming. I do not need to fill up my blog with stupid posts about nothing of any interest. I do not read any blog that has nothing of interest in it and I would not expect anyone to read my blog if it was full of what can only be described as self-spam. Although now I find myself posting about not posting a post about nothing
Most of the expert sources I read about making money from blogging (ProBlogger, Blog Profits Blueprint) state that you need to post every day in order to keep your readers coming back and make your traffic grow. But I am not so sure if that is necessarily the case. (Note: I have been blogging for less than one year and do not make more than loose change each month, so the people who do make money might be right.)
However I can find no coloration within my own stats between the frequency of my blog posts and the amount of traffic my site gets.
Some successful bloggers/writers say the opposite (Tim Ferriss – point 2 Post less to be read more) And some say blogging is a complete waste of their time (Morris Rosenthal).

The fact is that most people who come to my blog come to read my free novels and stories and not my blog posts. Looking at my stats I find that individual chapters of my novels get 90-100 views a day, by best blog post gets 4 or 5 views. So most people are not reading my blog.
So for the most part I am pretty much relaxed about posting only once or twice per week. Quality is much better than quantity. There are enough spammers on the internet, I do not need to spam my own blog in a furtile attempt to attract readers.
