Hi Sean
The benefits of writing a series as you point out here is an excellent idea for many reasons.

I like that I can expand on a subject and make it compelling over a few weeks. This will hold the readers attention and would be more economical for me in terms of time as I can just write one article and break it up into say four chapters.

I also like the idea of doing a series for an autoresponder. I think people will be more likely to read mail outs if they are really interesting and inspiring and I can keep them curious to read more with each one they receive.

I started to use post series on my photography blog. The ROR has been good. My feed subscribers increased by a 10% with the first series. Have been incresing since then.
I agree with the extra benefits Renee wrote above and with the ones on the post.

I love the idea of writing a series for several reasons.

- you can go into more detail with a good topic
- you have stronger SEO on a chosen keyword
- you can keep the attention of the reader and get them to read more than just one page
- and I can write them all at once, write one long post and “just” split it up at the end

So I agree, there are a lot of advantages to writing a series!

Hi Sean,
Thank you for this article. The information is well received. Writing a series of articles makes good sense and saves much time in the long run. I believe I had this plan in mind before the first article post but got caught up in the moment after creating it and published without considering the next post.

I must now go back to that original idea. That is of writing a series and making regular posts like is suggested here. Thank-you also for the tip on directing the reader to the first article post so that they can follow the series. Makes a lot of good sense.

Hi Sean,

I think one of the benefits of writing a series that I’ve found is that it can save me some time. I can write the whole piece in one hit and then break it up into smaller parts. So far I’ve only written a two part series but even that saved me a lot of time.

I’ve seen the success of your Mindset Mastery series and how much interest it generated. Your readers definitely were keen to get to the next installment. So, I learned a lot just by reading that series myself and seeing how you built the anticipation. Now all I need is a topic.
