As another point one could add "Write about a reasonably popular subject and write for beginners". From my own experience of analyzing popular content and people that have successfully built a large follower base (in tech) it seems that almost all of them produce content about subjects that a lot of people are interested in (e.g. Javascript, CSS, web development, basic Unix/Linux functionality) and target mostly beginners.
- pc86 6y agoOnce you find someone willing to put in the level of work required (probably 80% of people simply will not work hard enough to finish), the most common mistake is targeting the advanced/experts in their field. That's great to flesh out your following, but if your goal is revenue, beginners are going to be the key to driving that. That doesn't necessarily mean actual beginners - you can write about microservices architecture for mid-level and advanced software developers, but target those who aren't familiar with microservices. They're beginners in that respect. You'll have 10x the revenue from a "Microservices 101" type product as you will from a product of similar length and quality talking about all the different ways to structure your messaging topics, for example.
