Well, not only on this niche, apparently… My Two Cents

I’m not blogging as much as I used to, but I am still staying on top of what’s going on. I’m reading my Bloglines, my email subscriptions, visiting my favourite blogs to comment. One thing that is starting to get to me is what I’m going to ask you about:

Is anyone else tired of those how to be a better blogger / how to get readership posts?

I don’t mean every single one of them, but mainly those who focus on providing a list of “essentials” (!!), such as:

  • Provide quality content
  • Provide original content
  • Provide value to the reader
  • Post frequently, but not too frequently to wear yourself off
  • Make lists
  • Yada yada yada…

Even I, I admit, posted about couple of those issues, not in a list, but separately when beginning my blogging. But, since then I started seeing these posts popping up all around the blogosphere, and it makes stomach turn.

I mean, dear god, find something original to take up your blog’s space. Isn’t posting such a post contradicts the originality condition that the post itself mentions? And what about value? Very questionable…
