First, I want you to read these 2 scenarios in order to understand how powerful blogging can be:
1. You just sat down at your desk and fired up your computer. As you clean out your in box, you come across a boring email. What do you do? Delete it? Probably, or maybe you set it aside in case you may review it later on. Either way, that email is nothing different than any other boring email you receive and eventually discard of.
2. You sat down at your desk. You just received a GREAT email! What do you do? My guess- you forward it on to your friends and family and suggest they read it. Right? The information in the email either solves a problem for your friends and family, you think they will get a great chuckle, or the information is flat out informative and just may save someone's life.
My point is this: Before you hit publish on your next blog post, I want you to consider this:
This blog post will be read by people all over the world. These people don't know you from Adam. When they read your article, are they going to do the same thing you did when YOU got a great email? Or, will the email get set on the side to maybe get looked at later.... with the hopes of sending it to friends and family completely tossed out the window?
Summary: Blogging is all about helping people. Everyone in this world has a problem that needs a solution. The best bloggers research peoples' problems, and then spend their time writing content to solve those problems. Thus, a blog post that will get passed along for years to come!
