Thank you. I’m still struggling to find my way. These tips are helpful. I agree with everything you said about the perfect post trap. I’ve realized that many people write posts that are way too long. I’ve copied and pasted some posts into word counter. Some posts are 2,000 or 3,000 words. That’s five or six minutes of reading. With the amount of people I subscribe and read that’s way too much time. I’m also generous with my comments.
I think I need to find a balance. Something that will work for me. The sweet spot in posts seems to be 500 to 1000 words. Maybe 1200. This is where I am challenged. I’m wordy. I have a lot to say. But, I’ll probably need to break down essays into smaller parts. Maybe write a series.
I think writing in bold helps in notes as it brings focus and attention to your main point. As long as it’s not too much. When working in sales, I was taught to get people to commit, you need a call to action. Getting others to do something is getting their buy in. Even if you’re not selling a car, you’re seeking yourself and your ideas or your perspective on the world. Uggh! As much as I don’t like self promotion, here we are.
I’m going to come back to this article again and again. I need it.
