279 Days to Overnight Success<br />

I think it’s safe to say that the vast majority of bloggers do not sufficiently<br />

answer this question, and I have not been immune to this mistake<br />

either. In my case, I knew that my crazy goal of trying to visit every country<br />

in the world would attract a number of readers interested in travel<br />

and “limit-pushing” adventures. On its own, however, I also knew that this<br />

would not be sufficiently interesting to sustain a broad, diverse community.<br />

I had to go further.<br />

By the way, there is some bad news about the reason why. The bad news<br />

is that you have to continually answer the question. It’s not a one-shot<br />

deal. Some readers are loyal to the death, but most are loyal as long as<br />

they are finding the inspiration, education, or entertainment that originally<br />

drew them to you.<br />

You can change it up at times, and no true fan will leave over one disappointment,<br />

but over time, you’ll die a slow death if you don’t continue to<br />

give people what they are looking for. That is the reason why they are<br />

drawn to you.<br />
