RE: Creating "Evergreen" Content in an Instant Gratification World

in #writing8 years ago

Generally, I agree that if I'm going to put my name on something, I'd like it to be of great quality (or at least, my best). However, the short shelf life on Steemit has led me to question whether long-form articles are the best approach. I wonder if it makes more sense to write high quality, but shorter pieces? (Although in all fairness, it often takes just as long to write quality short pieces as it does to write long ones.) Anyway, with a bit of trial and error, I'm sure we'll all find the sweet spot between what we have to offer Steemit and what best serves the community's needs.

Sort:  

Well, I guess what matters to me is that "it has my name on it," so if someone Googles something that leads to one of my articles two years from now, I would like it to "reflect well," even if I don't stand to gain anything more than... perhaps... that person checking out my profile or one of my web sites and following my current work.

So I see it as also benefiting the Steemit community, in the longer run.
