Your Interest Vs Reader’s Interest
What’s reader’s interest is as important as your own interest. If you like more about sport, then it is easy to write and attract more readers at same time. On other hand, if you have interest to write on stuff, which are boring to other such as writing on only particular topic. For instance, you can’t get more reader if you write on only pool or snooker. Rather, it is good idea to write on all playing activities. You can write on any topic as long as you stay focused on what you really started to write.
