You create content to build your audience, your community of followers.
Your tremendous asset is your audience and community of followers. The natural world of people are paying attention to what you have to say.
Your community of followers is why you create content. They are looking for interesting, informative things to read, listen to and watch. They want something that makes them look clever for sharing. Your community wants you to solve their problems quickly and efficiently.
If your content supports the community goals, it’s good content. The community decides if the content is relevant or useful. They decide and Not you.
