Default 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.
