So: how often should you post?

1. More than zero, always. The gap between silence and any rhythm is the biggest gap in the entire dataset.

2. Start at a pace you can hold for three months. For most people that is 1 to 2 posts a week, which is also what most creators your size actually do. A rhythm you keep beats an ambition you abandon in week two.

3. Step up when it feels easy. Each step (weekly to twice a week, to every other day, to daily) raised weekly engagement in every follower range we measured. Even two posts a day showed no penalty on the week.

4. Let the per-post dip not scare you. Your tenth post of the month earning a bit less than your first is fine: the month as a whole earns several times more.

5. Pair frequency with timing. Once the rhythm exists, posting on the right day and at the right hour compounds it.

One honest caveat: this is correlation, not a controlled experiment. Creators who post more are often also more invested in their content, and some of the gap reflects that. But the pattern is so consistent, across every follower range, that the direction of the advice is safe: showing up more, at a pace you can keep, wins.

The hard part of frequency is not writing, it is keeping the rhythm. MagicPost lets you batch your posts when you have energy and schedules them through the week automatically, so two-a-week actually happens. Try MagicPost free
