In Your Face Content
Last weekend I attended my first major league baseball game. Sit
ting behind left field, I had to rely on the Jumbotron to see every play in the infield.
Now I know why good seats are so expensive. People are willing to pay big money to watch the game live on the field, not on the giant screen that shows fans in the upper levels screaming and pouring beer over their heads between pitches.
Though not completely uninterested in the game, I spent the better part of my Sunday afternoon at Tropicana Field thinking about the Jumbotron, and that split second that happens before and after you recognize your face up on the big screen.
Which got me to thinking about content. My content. Your content. How will it change when people start paying a bit more attention to it? Or a lot of attention to it?
Will you stay true to yourself, and keep providing the content that attracted more visitors to you in the first place? Or will you cover your face in bright red paint, pump your “We’re number 1” finger in the air and scream until you can scream no more?
Remember, people like you for who you are, not for who you are on the Jumbotron.

You want people to read your content so you need to make it look interesting and attract peoples attention so they look at it and read it. Like you said cover your face in bright red and screaming until you can not scream anymore will attract peoples attention and they will look at you, you just need to do the same with your content, make it stand out.
