Mitch’s Web Writing Stats
I have spend some time here lately trying to figure out exactly how much I write in the span of a year. If you follow any of my other projects or places that I post you probably know I do an awful lot. What is my digital footprint? Well here are some estimates by project:
Lockergnome’s Web Developers
20 Articles in a Month / 6,000 Words in a Month
I would estimate that I write around 300 words per article and I write five articles a week, so that ends up being around, well… a big number. Never realized I go on and on about Web development issues that much!
Lockergnome’s Windows Fanatics
8 Articles in a Month / 2,200 Words in a Month
Here I do 2 articles a week, with around 250 to 300 words per article. For argument’s sake, lets just call it 275. Loads of good freeware reviews there.
Mitchelaneous
20 Articles in a Month / 6,000 Words in a Month
On this fine Web site I do around 5 articles a week at around 300 words per article. Very similar with my numbers for Lockergnome’s Web Developers.
The Web Hosting Show
20 Articles in a Month / 7,000 Words in a Month
Sure, this is my podcast - but there are still a lot of show notes and posts to make. Here I would raise the average length per post to be around 350 per article with 5 posts per week for the hosting podcast.
Firefox Facts
20 Articles in a Month / 5,000 Words in a Month
This one might be a little lower than average since the posts are kind of simple and “quick tips”. At Firefox Facts I try to post 5 times a week and the word count comes in at around 250 per post.
Lunartics
4 Articles in a Month / 1,200 Words in a Month
This is the 1 place I write the least at. When doing my best, I try to have a least 1 post a week (even though I have missed the past 2 weeks because I have been so busy). That 1 post per week is around 300 words.
So what do the final numbers say about how much I go on and on about the topics I like to write about?
In 1 Month I Write 32,800 Words.
In 1 Month I Write 92 Articles or Posts.
In 1 Year I Write 393,600 Words.
In 1 Year I Write 1,104 Articles or Posts.
If the average number of words per page in a book is 250, and the average number of pages per book is 300 then the average book has 75,000 words. With that being said, I will write the equivalent of a little over 5 books (5.348 to be exact) in the span of 1 year. What is your digital footprint? How many books could you have written out of your blogging ways?
