And, after all, it's not so very difficult a matter to compose an article of the genuine Blackwood stamp, if one only goes properly about it.
Edgar Allan Poe, "How to write a Blackwood article"
"Location! Location!! Location!!!", the real estate agents say (of what I've heard of them, at least). "Title, title, title!", I'd say. And actually, I'm not the first one who says this. It's the title that makes a reader click on the article, so it must be catchy and intriguing. "How I've made $10K in one day" is a good example. Ok, if you don't know anything catchy, go with something people already know themselves. Put "Bitcoin goes up again" when it goes up, and "Bitcoin goes down again" when it goes down. Shortly don't be an a$$hole, give people something to click on!
"Don't trade against the trend!", the traders say (of what I've heard of them, at least). Note the trend! At the moment on Publish0x it's crypto. So, logically, an article on Sumerian grammar will hardly attract much interest here, no matter how beautiful it is.
"If it's simple -- make it complicated!", as the bureaucrats say in their secret instructions. Okkam's razor is long blunt. Conspiracy theories can be sold just fine, as well as price predictions and technical analyses, these modern crystal balls and future-tellings. Besides, you don't need to be an expert on the subject. It's even better if you don't know anything about the subject at all. Don't know how an ASIC works? Unleash your fantasy, teach people to mine!
Don't bother with the language, neither with its form nor with content. A lot of non-native-English writers never understand the concept of "tense" or "a/the/-" thing. It's trivial, a lot of non-native-English readers will pass it by without (the? a? -?) slightest notice. So go farther and beyond that! Run your post through Google Translate and back. Add speeling misstakes. Exterminate capitals, paragraphs and all that punctuation! When manuscript can be read it is never worth reading. (Ibid.) Don't bother me, give me an excuse to go straight down to tip box!
Brevity is the talent's sister, Sparta can guarantee you that. Don't tire the reader's forefinger with scrolling all the waaaay down! Simply put here your (affiliate) link to a website of your choice.
As you see the rules of a successful article are quite simple but yet quite effective!
With all my tribute to E.A.Poe, a bitter drunkard and the best ever editor, as they say...
