That question is very subjective.
There is no set number or range. If I started a blog about my daily poops it would likely be an SEO flop.
SEO is the hardest way to make money until something clicks or earns branding.
You're looking at 20 years in business, millions of dollars in advertising and acknowledment of the user community.

There isn't a fixed number. Consistently publishing high-quality articles and building topical authority usually matter more than the total article count.
i don't think there's a meaningful number of articles that guarantees consistent traffic.
20 highly relevant articles in a tightly defined niche can outperform hundreds of disconnected posts. authority, search intent, competition, internal linking, and content quality all matter more than hitting an arbitrary publishing target.
i'd watch what starts earning impressions and rankings, then build deeper around those signals rather than publishing toward a fixed number.

Honestly, I don’t think there is a fixed number of articles after which organic traffic becomes steady. A lot depends on the niche, competition, search intent, and luck, really i don't kidding
In some cases, an article you didn’t expect much from can suddenly start ranking well in Google, while the content you invested the most effort in may take much longer to show results.
For me, organic traffic is one of the most difficult channels, especially if you want it to be stable over time. Content quality, niche relevance, and topical authority all matter, but they usually work together rather than separately.
We focus on publishing useful, high-quality content in our blog, so if a user finds us through search, they actually get something valuable from the article.

you are right, topical authority is necessary to get index, but i heard few articles with good topical authority can raise good organic traffic

There's no fixed number. I've seen websites start getting consistent organic traffic with 30–50 high-quality, well-optimized articles, while more competitive niches may require 100+.
In my experience, content quality and topical authority matter more than just publishing a large number of articles. Covering a topic in depth, targeting low-competition keywords, building internal links, and staying consistent usually have a bigger impact than simply increasing the article count.

Sometimes the bigger issue is that the site still looks new and unstable to search engines. New domain, no history, weak internal links, slow pages, SSL or redirect issues, changing topics too often. I'd rather see 30 articles on a clean, stable site than 100 posts on a messy setup.
