Always Add Value in Your Articles

It's easy to write an article about something that is interesting to you and your audience. But it's much harder to write an article that adds value.

It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of writing an article, but if it doesn't add value to your readers' lives, then it's not worth the time or effort.

You should always ask yourself: will this article make my reader better off than when they started reading? If not, then don't write it!

When you're writing content for your blog, it's important to remember that there are tons of blogs in the world. And if yours isn't different or better than the others, no one will come back. They'll just keep scrolling down the page until they find something they like better.

It's not about being the best writer, or having the best ideas—it's about adding value to the reader's life.

And what does that mean? Well, it means that when you write, you should always be thinking: "How can I make this person's day or life better?"

Value is basically anything that makes the reader think "Oh yeah, this is worth my time. Value can be given by using compelling language and really digging into a topic so that it feels like you're talking directly to the reader. That way they feel like they're getting something special from you—and not just another article online.

The best way to add value is by thinking about what kind of content would make YOU want to click through and read more about it. If you wouldn't click through because it's not interesting enough for YOU (and let's face it: we all have different interests), then don't post it! You'll just be wasting time and effort on something that isn't going to be useful and the time of anyone who clicks on the article only to find out that there's no substance there. You'll just lose readers and they won't trust you anymore.

A lot of times, I'll see writers posting articles that are just plain boring. They think they're being helpful, but no one wants to read them! It's like this: if you were hanging out with your friends at a party, and one of them started telling a story about how they were making scrambled eggs with toast for breakfast this morning—wouldn't that make everyone else at the party bored?

No one cares about the details of their breakfast unless those details are somehow relevant to something that happened at the party later on in the day. So think about whether or not your article is going to be relevant to something that happens in YOUR life later on down the road (or even if it's relevant now). If not, then why should anyone care?

You don't want to waste your time or anyone else's by posting things that don't interest you, so instead of posting something just because you think it might be popular or relevant, ask yourself: would I click through and read this article? If not, then don't post it!

This will help ensure that your content is always adding value for everyone who reads it—whether they're interested in the topic or not—and will also save you from wasting time trying to promote articles that no one wants to read!

In Conclusion

When I started writing, I thought of myself as someone who had something important to say—but I didn't really think about how my readers might feel while reading what I wrote. All of my articles were very self-absorbed and narcissistic but now that I've learned how important it is to add value for others and not just myself, everything has changed!

It doesn't matter if they're an old man with one foot in the grave or a little kid who just wants to learn how to tie their shoes—when you write, your job is to give them something they didn't know before, so that they can use it to make their lives better.

There's a saying that goes like this: "If you can't explain it, then you don't understand it." It's true: if you want to write something meaningful, you have to know what it means.

So before you ever think about writing an article, first ask yourself: What questions does this raise for me? Does this article make me curious about something new or challenge my existing beliefs? If so, then maybe other people will find it interesting too!
