Almost every “blogging blog” out there and about 97% of all blogging guides ever written state that one should always choose quality over quantity; one should write great content.
How does one do that though? What does it mean to write a great blog post? Hmm?
Well, there are a few qualities of great blog posts that set them apart from meh blog posts.
A great blog post:
1. Solves a problem – Believe it or not, people read a blog article to solve a problem. Yes, that problem can be as simple as having a few minutes to kill, being bored, or wanting to laugh.
A blog post that doesn’t solve a problem doesn’t get read, shared, or commented on.
2. Engages the Reader– Some bloggers mistakenly believe they’re in the role of the teacher. They’re not. A great blog post is something like history being taught by the class clown; interesting information being delivered in a way we understand, while laughing our eyes out.
Someone who’s brave enough to write what they want, how they want, and then share it with their readers when they most need it.

It’s all a mess of words and feelings and ideas.
You know what’s the issue?

One thing I’ve done more recently is researching more into my blogposts for additional info or just to be sure of what I’m saying.

I think read-ability is one of the biggest aspects for online content and school really doesn’t teach it. Personally I think it’s what made Buzzfeed stand out in the early days.
