I read somewhere that the ideal ratio for original posts and sponsored posts on blogs, to keep the readership, is 10:1. That means for every ten published posts, nine are original, one is sponsored. I don't know if there is an ideal. If you are like me, trying to settle my family's debts, you will of course try to pack in as many sponsored posts a day as possible.
When I first started my blog, my ratio was 10:0 and I tried to write a post every single day, except for the three week hiatus that I took to take care of something else. Once my blog was accepted, I was publishing two original posts a day and the ratio of original / sponsored posts became 10:5.
Earlier this year, I was publishing three original posts a day and the ratio was still 10:5 but for the past week, I have been publishing up to SIX original posts a day and my ratio was sometimes a low of 10:3. That is an improvement. I really rather prefer 10:5 because for a ratio of 10:3, I am actually writing MORE but getting paid the same. It's not something I like but I have no choice, you know? *tired*
