I'm planning to build a new website (WP website), how many articles do you think I should prepare before launching it?
 
It's always better to launch it and add article as you go. Bots take time to understand, measure and give a score to your content. So, the faster you post it, the faster you will see the results.

I like to start with 4 articles and go from there. The reason for that I like to have something to interlink, and some content to design my website fonts, images and style. And of course something to show on the menu

How many should you target depends on the size of your niche but I would suggest having at least +10 good related articles to give visitors something to surf, and crawlers to work their magic.

20 to 25 seems to be a very good number for me to cover mini niches but you can take your time adding articles after the 10 mark :)
 
Why wait? Just build out the main pages, go live and start adding more content as you finish it. No real reason to hold off until you have an arbitrary number of articles written.
 
I always recommend an "absolute minimum" of 5,000 words (preferably 10k). However, how much content needing to be published comes down to personal preference.
 
This is good information.

I Have a WP site with 56 articles now in a little under a year. I’m tryina to think of the next path go earn from it. Clickbank? Ad sense? I’m also very new to this space so have no experience
 
id start from the 1st page then it will gradually grow organically get indexed whilst your adding pages. people wont get to it straight away and when added more pages and ready -10-15k launch it
 
Do local Website first and transfer to the online once you have it tweaked. I'm setting up my site to drip-feed with content for a year or more. So by this week, it will be on Semi-Auto then to the next site.

For your main page or special items use @ContentExpert
In the market, I started in I wish I started with more than I did. I think I had about 5 pre-done but if i was todo it again i would look at having around 30 pre done. Then have a new one each day or every other day. Now i have about 4-5 but half now come from brands pushing press releases etc.
@littlewebdragon might have some drip-feed and filler content ;)

Does anyone know how large of affect articles have on Shopify stores? There are both Blog and Page options and I'm not sure how much it's worth to begin writing more on them. Would this be a good way to increase my search presence if I try targeting keywords in my articles?
