When a blogger understand his goals then he has a better shot at bringing in an audience. These are all great questions. I would add “How does this blog post add to my goals?”
I’ve posted articles that I enjoyed writing, but didn’t fit in with my theme. It alienated some readers. A writer must always understand his goals and how each post fits into those goals.
These question are difficult to address all at once for every post a person writes, but you pretty much have to ask them all at first. I’d hope that after a while though, you’d get to where writing good piece became almost second nature.
Posting too much might not be a problem because that’s how you get good at it. Posting inconsistantly is where the problem comes in.
21. Is what I write worth reading? That goes beyond ‘do I have something to say’ into the area of ‘Can I say it skillfully enough to reward the reader for their time?
It’s easy to write. It’s pure work to write well and consistently.
