A lot of folks are blogging to position themselves or prove their prowess in their niche or market.
A trap many fall in it is trying to write it all in one post. Leave some (s)talk for others.
If you try to be that everything-I-know-about-this-subject in one post writer, you'll
- Lack page depth on the topic (after all, you've already said it all)
- Not get any comments (after all, you've already said it all)
- Come across as a know-it-all (after all…)
It's okay every now and again to have a cornerstone post…but those can be tough to read day-after-day
I love a good meaty post now and again. But beware of too much touch.
