If You Want More Readers — Pay Attention To These 2 Topics!

We often dream of having that one edge over other writers. Let me share the close-guarded secrets to explosive readership …. In 3 minutes.

In brief, readers read our work when there is future utility. Utility manifests itself into 2 distinct segments. I call them short-term and long-term gains.

It is our job to teach our readers to achieve short-term and long-term gains. And, of course, definitions of short-term or long-term differ from person to person.

Warren Buffett’s idea of long-term is forever. Yours could be 5 minutes (if you are a trader).

So, what are the topics that will deliver both short-term and long-term gains to our readers?

Topic 1 — Wealth (Today).

If you can teach your readers to get rich TODAY— People will flock to you. NOW.

What is the stock to buy? Buy low, sell high? When is low, low? When is high, high?

Is the Bitcoin party going on forever? Why? Buy more at US $40,000?

If your existing batch of followers gets rich listening to you — Your reader population explodes!

Topic 2 — Health (Without Pain).

The right way to health is through training and exercise. Ironically, your followers will abandon you when you pitch this.

Why?

It is too painful.

Instead, teach them how to lose 100kg in 10 days. You will gain 1,000 followers in 10 days.

When all else fails …

Write more stories on Medium. Readers will come.
