things off with important data points on how much time bloggers spend creating content:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-stat-1\">1. It takes an average of 3 hours and 51 minutes to write a blog post<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a blogger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/blog\/blogging-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"4349\">survey<\/a> conducted by Orbit Media. That&#8217;s faster than last year&#8217;s average of 4 hours and 10 minutes, but it&#8217;s still 60% longer than 10 years ago.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-stat-2\">2. Spending over 6 hours writing a blog post leads to &#8220;strong results.&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Orbit Media&#8217;s survey also revealed that 35% of bloggers who spend over six hours report &#8220;strong results,&#8221; whereas only 29% of those who write for 2-3 hours get similar results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-stat-3\">3. Blog posts that are 2,000-3,000 words take over 6 hours to write.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, <a href=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/blog-post-length\/\" data-lasso-id=\"4350\">longer blog posts<\/a> tend to take more time to create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-stat-4\">4. Comprehensive &#8220;how-to&#8221; articles take longer than short listicles or news pieces.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A &#8220;how-to&#8221; article can take 5-6 hours to create on average due to the amount of research involved, while curated <a href=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/list-posts\/\" data-lasso-id=\"4351\">list posts<\/a> and short news pieces can be completed in just 1-2 hours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-stat-5\">5. Editing adds 1-2 hours to the content creation time.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenarrativecraft.com\/post\/industry-rates-for-editing-and-proofreading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"4352\">statistics<\/a>, professional editors can complete a heavy editing task at a rate of 1,150 words per hour and a light editing job at 2,250 words per hour.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-stat-6\">6. Highly experienced bloggers are capable of producing content in less than one hour.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That, or they&#8217;re focusing on posts for other channels like Pinterest, Twitter, or Facebook.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-stat-7\">7. Content planning can take 1-2 hours per blog post.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Researching for keywords and building a complete outline can take 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the topic (you can speed this up with a tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/deals\/semrush-free-trial\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"31711\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"4353\">Semrush<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-stat-8\">8. Adding simple custom graphics to your post adds 30 minutes to 5 hours.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This depends on your design strategy and preferred design tool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-stat-9\">9. Publishing blog posts daily requires you to finish drafts in 3-5 hours<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>..allowing you enough time for other blogging tasks. But if you aim to publish weekly, you can have as much time as you need to create a polished piece.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-stat-10\">10. SEO optimization time can take as little as 30 minutes.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That is if you use a handy content optimization tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/go\/surfer\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"4354\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-name=\"Surfer\">Surfer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Blog Post Type Takes the Most Time?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div

research for more technical information (e.g., step-by-step instructions, analytics data, and book reading).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By retracing and tracking my schedule over 14 years of blogging experience,
