17: How to Create Blogs that People Actually Want to Read


Listen Later

Rather than trying to brainstorm and write "articles", it's often helpful to think about blogging as creating a "resource" for your audience. Thinking this way adjusts your mindset and gets you into a frame of mind to create something your audience actually wants instead of simply telling them something. It's often described as "selling the destination" (that thing your reader wants) instead of "selling the journey." (the thing they need to do, in order to get the thing they want)

For example,
Instead of an article about "What clothes to wear for photos", create a guide about "How to look better in photographs." It's the same information, but created from a different mindset - and something your reader actually wants!
