Should we?
Tina Su from Think Simple Now and Henrik Edberg of Positivity Blog was interviewed by Daniel Scocco. The result was a very interesting review, where they both have things in common lead them to reach a large number of audience.
These are the practical lessons that have been said repeatedly, yet proven useful:
- provide valuable content, and do it consistently.
- use a unique design or idea or concept to help you differentiate from the others.
- don’t be over obsessed with ranks like PR and Alexa. Allocate your energy more towards providing priceless content.
- be persistent and commit to quality.
Those are the points most bloggers need to put their best effort in to. However, there is something unusual both Tina and Henrik don’t do on their journey blogging.
Question: How many RSS feeds do you track daily?
Tina: Zero. I occasionally will visit Zenhabits.net, but that’s about it. I don’t really read blogs.
Henrik: None. I visit a few blogs maybe once a week.
