Huh. I’m pretty sure that’s a big fat NO.
I really enjoy writing, but I will be the first to completely, 100% admit today that very rarely do I think about what sort of value my writing has for the reader. And that sort of defeats my ultimate purpose for this blog – to attract an audience, and to hopefully at some point in the future earn an income from my writing. So if I’m not writing something of value, I’m really just doing this for myself, and then I can’t really call it a blog – it’s an online journal.
Do Your Posts Pass The “So What?” Test? HA! My whole blog fails. But that’s okay, for a couple of reasons.
- It’s a baby blog, just starting out after several failed attempts. The difference between this attempt and previous ones is that I’m going to keep going whether I do the “right things” or not. Okay, so I’m not posting for the reader, I’m posting to hear myself speak (which isn’t entirely true, but I’ll work out the nuances later). Let me concentrate on that for my next post. That brings me to reason number…
- I will fix it next time. I’ve taken note of a weakness, and now I will work on it. I might not hit the nail on the head the first couple of times, but please refer back to reason #1.
Admittedly, there are a long string of things I need to address on this blog – foremost of which is design, closely followed by SEO. I know that. I sincerely thank you (whomever you are) for reading anyway.
Love, Me.
