“How often do you post to your blog?” is a very popular question, to which there is no right or wrong answer. Twice a month? Twice a week? Twice a day? Just one time a day?You’ll find a lot of different blog posts promoting different scheduling for blog posts. Most of them recommend posting once or twice per week, maximum. Here’s my take on the issue – the two blog posting schedules that matter, and to what kinds of blogs they are applicable.Understanding Posting SchedulesFirst of all, you need understand that there is no right/wrong answer for this question, as I’ve already stated. Different timings may or may not work for different types of blogs.The following advice is not something that I believe works for every single blog, but it’s what works for most (after my research).How User Engagement & Blog Posting Are RelatedFirst of all, it’s a myth that readers will be annoyed if you update your blog daily. It’s simply a myth, with no real evidence to back it up. One of my all-time favorite blogs sends me an e-mail every day or every two days.I love it. It gives me more information than a month of Sundays of autoresponder messages from any other blog.That said, users also don’t mind if you post only once a week. Truth be told, readers are only looking to see how they can benefit from your blog – that’s pretty much the only reason why they’re there and why they signed up to your e-mail list (unless they are friends or family.Alright – let’s get down to the posting schedules.Daily/Multiple Times A DayOooh! I feel I’m going to provoke quite a bit of controversy with this one, aren’t I?But yes – I believe that posting multiple times per day can be beneficial to blogs. If for some reason you’re not available to post multiple times a day, then you should strive to post at least once a day. For nearly 95% of people reading this post, that’s what you should be doing.You should definitely post this often if you run one of the following blogs, or engage in one of the following business strategies.Informational/Tips BlogsTake this blog for example – it deals mainly with blogging, Internet marketing, and SEO tips. In other words, it provides valuable information to those who read this blog regularly.To be branded as an authority in your niche, your blog needs to have as much helpful, quality content on it. If that means posting 3-5 times a day, go ahead.Most blogs on the Internet (including yours) will fall into this category.Personal BlogsLet’s face it – personal blogs usually don’t get much traffic. The previous rule about readers coming solely for personal benefit once again applies here.There’s little benefit a reader can gain from your personal blog unless you’re A.) Hilarious or B.) A fantastic writer who can hold people spellbound.Chances are, you’re not either. But let’s just suppose that you decide to go ahead and start a personal blog regardless. You should be posting once per day.For most personal blogs, I wouldn’t recommend more than once a day (because hey – people like to have a little time to think about themselves, and not just you).However, once per day is usually necessary, if you want any sort of traffic. This is because that the people who do follow and read your blog regularly obviously think you’re a fantastic writer or funny. And, they need their daily dose of fantastic funny (but again, don’t overdose).The BenefitsNo doubt about it, there are certain benefits you get from posting daily that you won’t get if you post less often.Search Engine OptimizationAlthough this cannot be outright proven, it’s becoming clearer that Google favors blogs that post content on a regular basis throughout the day.When you publish a new post, Google is automatically notified. Eventually, their spiders will get to crawling your pages and ranking them.If they are notified quite often, that means you blog often. If you blog often, that means that your blog is active and regularly providing content to your readers.All things said, this can’t be proven, but it’s a general trend I see after conducting research in the SERP’s.Alexa RankingAlthough posting 10 times a day mean that you’ll automatically be promoted to the top 1000 blogs, the blogs that engage a higher-frequency posting schedule often rank higher, compared to blogs that post less frequently with the same quality standards.Case StudiesI recently came across a forum thread where an Internet marketer laid down his strategy to go from $0-$200/day in AdSense earnings in two months flat.What he basically did was outsource cheap content writing jobs to freelance writers. He hired a lot of ‘em, posting on his blog 30-40 times. Every. Single. Day.The result? He’s sitting pretty with $200/day in AdSense earnings. In two months, flat. And that’s only one of his online businesses.Let’s take another example. A good friend of mine, for whom I recently guest posted, has a prestigious Alexa rank of 44K, amassing a total of 14,000 page views every single day. He posts a minimum of three times a day. And it’s taken him a measly two years to be at where he is right now.That’s pretty good, if you ask me.On The Other Hand… However, this rule doesn’t apply to all types of blogs. In fact, posting multiple times a day, or even once daily, would be disastrous to certain blogs.Business BlogsBy business blogs, I mean blogs that belong to already established, offline companies – Wal-Mart, for example. These types of blogs should not – I repeat, should not post more than twice a week (and really, once a week is all you need to be doing).Why?Simply because those types of blogs aren’t meant to be updated regularly. Most of the time, they’re simply about discounts, or business news.They have no need for SEO (unless it’s a local service people actually search for online). In essence, it’s just a front that says “we’re online too”.Do You Have Something Worthwhile To Say?You have something worthwhile to say? Something that will actually help/inspire/motivate people? Do you?You don’t?Then don’t say anything.Simple as that. If you’re not sure about whether or not you should blog everyday, then blog when you have something to say.However, try to maintain some sort of consistency. If you get sudden post inspirations, then go ahead and write the blog posts, but don’t publish them – yet.Wait until you’ve got a good store of them, then you can publish them on a specific cycle – weekly/biweekly/daily, whatever.

Did you do everything right and still see no results? There is a variety of reasons why does it happen, we had listed the most common ones.

1 I train twice a day, but my weight does not change

Possible explanation:

- If you incorporate intense training your weight can even increase: muscles are much heavier than fat. Pay attention not so much to weight as to your body composition

- It is also possible that you are overeating and do not evaluate your macro right. When we lose calories during the training we naturally want to eat more. It also seems that you can now afford much more, but if your goal is to lose weight, you can’t do without calorie counting. No calorie deficit – no weight loss.

2. I only eat fruit and drink vegetable smoothies, but don’t lose any weight

Possible explanation:

- Fruit is a source of fast carbohydrates that raise blood insulin levels. Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes the accumulation of glycogen and fats and at the same time blocks their use. Insulin also increases hunger, so we feel hungry more often, we increase portions or eat almost continuously.
- The macro content of a smoothie sometimes exceeds complete meals. And the amount of sugar there is most often appropriate – yes, natural, but it’s still fast carbohydrates.
- Such restrictions may lead to the lack of proteins and again may increase appetite

3 I have some much to do that barely had any time to sleep at all. And still I’m not losing weight

Possible explanation:
- Sleep is a basic human need. During sleep, the nervous, endocrine and immune systems scan and subtle balance the body
- Many hormones are produced at night according with the change of day and night. Among them are melatonin and growth hormone. The peak of their secretion occurs from 22 to 2 hours. They allow us to literally lose weight in a sleep.
- The less we sleep – the more we eat, although we don’t notice that. Try to write down your meals on different days, and then compare and you will see for yourself.
- Lastly when we do not have enough sleep then our level of stress hormone cortisol rises and blocks the weight loss

4 I had dropped 20 kg already, but the last 2 kg do not give up. Why is that and what to do?

Possible explanation:
-The more fat you have, the easier it goes away. It is much easier to lose 30 kg from 130 kg than 2 kg from 55 kg
- With weight loss so-called “plateau” period is inevitable, just be consistent and continue your journey. If the weight stands still for a long time (more than 2 months), it is not recommended to further reduce the calorie content of the diet.

In this country, you rarely find a woman whose face shows signs of fatigue and aging. What makes Japanese women look 10-15 years younger? What is the secret of their firm, clear skin and slenderness?

From an early age, girls in Japan are taught to take care of themselves. Women know that one of the main treatments is nighttime skincare. The night is the perfect time to be more beautiful. Skin cells regenerate much faster at night. In addition, the production of collagen, a protein responsible for skin firming, peaks between 11:00 pm and 4:00 am.

The night is the perfect time to pamper yourself with real beauty treatments. This helps the skin to look healthier and more beautiful.

7 Japanese beauty secrets

The so-called layering is a beauty ritual that is more commonly used not only in Japan but all over the world. It consists of 7 steps that should be repeated every night.

1. Makeup removal

The first golden rule that every woman knows. For this, products based on natural oils are suitable, which are gently rubbed into the skin.

2. Cleansing the skin.

After removing your makeup, it is important to remove all impurities from your skin with mild soap and water. In this case, too, choose a product that is safe for the skin.

3. Applying tonic

The toner balances the skin and prepares it for further care. In this case, floral-based facial toners are best.

4. Application of the serum.

A serum designed to stimulate skin cells. Choose it according to your skin type: dry, sensitive, or oily skin.

5. Care of the skin around the eyes.

The area around the eyes is one of the most sensitive. Remember to gently apply a cream suitable for the eye area before bed.

6. Application of face cream.

You will also need to apply a face cream that suits you.

7. Applying lip balm.

The last step, which is often overlooked, is lips: a little shea butter will be enough to keep the lips soft.

8th beauty secret

Sleep at least 8 hours a night and give your skin and entire body the sleep it deserves.

Another secret of Japanese longevity is food

If you think that Japanese people look good for eating quality, freshly cooked food, then you are wrong. Of course, in Japan, the cult of healthy and tasty food is very developed, which helps to maintain slimness and youth, but on an ongoing basis, people here do not eat like that. Although the kitchen is full of healthy ingredients, due to the lack of time, the whole country is fed on industrial products.

There are thousands of vending machines on every corner across the country that sells this kind of food. Most citizens consume just such dishes from lunch boxes because it comes out of the vending machine already hot and appetizing. Also worth mentioning are the variety of fried foods such as tempura, tonkatsu, and karaga.

Analyzing the positive aspects of food in Japan, even industrial products are well controlled and do not contain as many chemicals as in other countries. Japan ranks fourth in the ranking for high-quality food.

Japanese sweets are made with little sugar and salt. This has a very positive effect on health and appearance. One of the things that help Japanese people stay young and thin is their daily miso soup and green tea.

The rejuvenating effect of hot springs and baths

Bathing in onsen hot springs is the basis of Japanese culture, they are full of minerals and necessary for skin rejuvenation.

Hot springs are rich in medicines that can help fight various diseases, relax, burn calories, remove impurities, improve blood circulation, relieve pain and pressure, moisturize the skin and have a thousand other benefits.
