Follow The Crowd Or Break The Rules
I will break all the rules. I will write in the style I wish to write in, and damn the readers. I can’t get anything done writing to please everyone else.
On Friday, I watched a really good lecture on thinking differently. It was by one of the authors of a book aimed at thinking from different perspectives. It’s called Why Not.
The main consensus when blogging is catering for readers. I don’t have readers, so I’m gonna cater to myself. Why Not?
Its the old 80/20 principle again.
20% of blogs have 80% of the readers. I’ll admit, I subscribe to a few of those blogs, but I don’t really read any of them. What’s the point? If they have a good idea, the strength of it is diluted by the sheer volume of eyes and brains continually looking for that great inspiration.
My question is, are the inventors of the latest internet phenomenon actually reading these people? Or is it us wanabees, the hopefuls, that faithfully log on everyday hoping for that flash of inspiration?
