And yet, the author decided to write his article on the very site that uses techniques Nir talks about to promote engagement.
And yet.
I originally published on my own site and it didn’t get much traction.
But when I edited it substantially and published as a direct response to Nir’s post, it reached 30,000 people, 6000 of whom finished the whole thing...in less than 24 hours.
Since the goal for me is spreading the message and fueling the converstion, I gotta go where distribution follows.
But that feeling (for me, at least) is closer to gratitude and hopefulness than it is to ego gratification.
The claps and notifications of retweets are, however, quite addicting, in the truest sense of the word.
I find myself checking twitter more than is reasonable to see where it’s going.
And while there is some upside there (connecting with and engaging in conversation with like-minded peeps), the frequency of my checking is highly disproportionate to that Value.
Ugh.
