You’re WASTING time writing. Ask 1 key question before you start
When I started out as a content creator, I put a lot of effort into trying to game the system.
Not in dumb, lazy ways, like using AI to write stories or flat-out copying other, more successful people.
In smarter, more analytical ways like using SEO and keyword research to try and find even a 1% edge over the millions of others trying to make a buck in the same game.
And while I would say that pouring countless hours into research and examining my own work to identify those edges (i.e. winning topics, best publishing times, etc.) paid off to some extent, it didn’t necessarily need to be that complicated.
Had I just asked myself 1 simple question each time I wrote an article or developed a YouTube video, I would have saved myself countless hours and achieved success way sooner.
I’m going to tell you what that question is in a moment, and then I’m going to strongly encourage you to ask it before spending even another second of your priceless time on this planet creating something that is destined to fail.
The big question
Recently I wrote a popular piece called “3 critical reasons people don’t click on (or read) your articles”.
