Content makes the online world go 'round.
Without it, we wouldn't have anything to talk about and almost nothing to sell.
Pay attention to what's happening and you'll see that everyone pats each other on the back for their content, nothing else.
You have to take this same approach - but there's one thing you need to know first.
You Must Laser Focus Your Efforts There's no getting around the supply and demand cycle of content.
You have to write what readers want if you want to make sales.
Being a generalist is just about the worst thing you could do on the Internet these days.
No one cares if you have knowledge about weight loss, gardening, accounting, and cheating spouses.
They want you to know everything about one thing.
I see so many writers working for content sites writing about any topic under the sun.
They become fluff articles, throwaways even.
It's no wonder that those writers are earning throwaway rates that can't even pay for a night out with the family.
It's disheartening because I did that for so long and met nothing but frustration.
Your new goal, before you write anything else, is to do some soul searching and figure out exactly what writer you are.
If you want to commit yourself to writing knitting articles, you can do it.
But you absolutely must focus on it and give it your best.
If for some reason, you don't see results, you can always change.
But you must be dedicated to the topic, willing to engage others in it, and willing to dig deeper than anyone else could.
That's the only way you'll meet the demand for endless content that exists on the Internet.
