POST SCHEDULE: In order, to become a successful blogger you must have a blueprint that guide you both in writing and in posting your articles; in this case you have to choose a suitable time for yourself, which you will like to write and publish your work. And this can be either weekly or five times in a month, with this in mind you be able to create good contents to your audience.

And moreover, your content should be SEO sanitize, and with this your audience will be able to find it on google search engine also.
