What You Write About Doesn’t Matter As Much As You Think
Written by Jeff Goins
I can sum this post up with the perfect quote from Jeff himself: “Writing isn’t about picking the right topic; it’s about finding the right voice.” After so much talk about knowing your audience, targeting your message and the rest of the usual advice, this may seem counterintuitive. But it’s a great reminder that the reason people read what you write – or what I write – even though we may blog about the same topic is because of you. And me. It’s about how we say it and the personal bit of us that we bring to it. So yes, if you’re blogging for your business then you need to stay focused on the right topics and the right audience. But ultimately it’s you that matters. Read more and be inspired to be you.
