Quantity Begets Quality - And a New Direction for TheYoungCapitalist.com

Posted on 11 November 2007 by grahamlutz

What I’ve Discovered -

I began my writing career with the idea of creating as much content as possible. I didn’t want to leave anything unwritten or anything unsaid. In recent month, as I have gotten more busy with my new business, new dog, and upcoming new baby, my pace has slowed and I began to focus on creating more quality content, just less of it.

What I’ve discovered is that as my quantity goes down, the quality of my best work goes down with it. When I write ONLY when I know I’m creating great work, I find myself less creative and less motivated overall when it comes to new post, new idea, and new work. So I’ll be writing a lot more, posting my best work, and keeping my writing that doesn’t make the site in an archive to access later if I need some new inspiration. Maybe I’ll be able to write better when taking a second look at an idea.

New Directions -

TheYoungCapitalist.com has a new direction, and that is “Sales Tips, Reviews, and Small Business Life.” You’ll get one column per week in the Sales School, where I will be writing about my experience with sales and what I’ve learned that has allowed me to start and successfully run a manufacturer’s rep company.

In the “Reviews” section, I’ll be conducting thorough reviews of books, other blogs, and some of the products that are of interest to my readers.

“Small Business Life,” as you can imagine, is my spot to ramble. You’ll hear about the cigar I had today and what my dog did when I was on a conference call, the things I’m learning about how to run a business out of your house as I’m learning them, and everything else that goes along with Small business life.

New Ways To Read -

You can, of course, subscribe to my RSS Feed, as always, but now I have added an RSS by Email. In addition to these, you now have the option of subscribing to each individual category. You may not like to listen to me ramble about my dog peeing on my carpet, but you would like to hear what I have to say on sales…or vice versa.

New Design -

As you can see, or not if you’re a first timer, I’ve done a complete redesign from a boring old free template to what I have today. I’ve had tons of functionality added to my blog and the ability to provide my visitors with more value. I am most definitely not “web-savvy” per se, but I’ve FINALLY gotten my Google Analytic and Google Adsense plugins to work (I had a “cannot load Adsense-Deluxe.php error message, so I was lost). Last, but not least, I will be adding video to the site and it will be updated with the best of the ‘net’s business videos. I might throw My Chemical Romance or Guns ‘N’ Roses in there every now again!

    I’ve found the exact same thing! as far as quantity leading to quality. There’s no substitute for letting creativity have it’s way!
