Re: On the subject of my bible-length posts
You write wonderful treatises, and have colourful language. You contribute enormously to the poker forum here and I have enjoyed your posts on many occasions.
But none of your posts will ever get read? Want to know why?
Three simple reasons:
You don't make a sales pitch. You don't draw the reader in.
Have you ever read a motivational book?
Start your post with something provocative and unexpected. Especially a compliment, something to flatter the reader into wanting to read more.
Then kick it off with an off-the-wall statement.
Then a question, like "Want to know why?"
Then try something like "Simple reasons: 1,2,3...." etc.
Devote a little chapter to each of those reasons.
You've got to get the sales-side of the post going. You've got to pull the reader in. You're a wonderful writer, let's get more people reading.
