A blog post on a burning topic gets no attention whatsoever and fades into oblivion. Another blog post on a relatively insignificant topic goes viral and becomes a blogger’s claim to fame.
What it Takes to Get Started
That is the reality today. It is happening every moment. Millions of blog posts are created every day. There is no dearth of good quality content and there is no dearth of poor content either. At times, good content doesn’t get its due and on many occasions poor content gets more than what it deserves. The reality is that poor content can do better than good content if it is presented well. People have a penchant for excitement. No one is interested in reading blurbs on the socioeconomic and geopolitical condition of Ukraine and the following standoff between Russia and the rest of the western world unless there is something worth rooting for.
You can compose a literary piece on the issue and bore people. Alternatively, you can craft a story that is worth a read. Contents that attract people, keep them hooked, entice them enough to keep reading and then end with a sense of closure, even if it is momentary, would always work well. That is what a blog post must be.

You cannot lose the attention of the reader even for two sentences. If you do, the reader would get disinterested and would move on. It takes less time to click on the close button of a browser than it takes to press the progress button on your television remote.
