Hung Up On the Details?

Does anyone else get Hung Up On the Details?

In the past I was posting at several different blogs until I ran into a dillema. The more ideas I came across, the more confused I started to get.

I started seeing conflicts between by topical interests. I would think to myself “should I post to this blog or that blog?”. Before too long I got burned out with information overload and ended up creating nothing for a while!

I kept reading all over that you need a tightly focused niche topic for a blog to be successful. If you want a lot of traffic from the search engines it is important to keep your topics to a narrow range. Well I tried that by diversifying across multiple websites and months later I still found that competing for search engine traffic was just too time confusing. When you care too much about SEO your content starts to suffer.

The problem with having a lot of websites is that you end up wasting too much time jumping around from place to place. Then, when you try to keep your topics tightly focused you just limit yourself and your creative abilities. So I finally made a choice. I choose to not care about search engine optimization more than I care about creating the actual content.

Google Plus works fairly good as a blogging tool, well kinda. It lacks the html editor only found on the Profile/about page but I am warming up to doing more article posting here instead of on a blog.
