Bounty


One of the more interesting differences between paper books and web pages is trust.

We trust paper books to have a fairly well-defined kind of information.
Books usually have a quite well-known manner of presentation.
Given cover/jacket, Summary, and marketing, the book is effectively static.
You can trust a book to be and do what a book is.


Blogs are different; there are far less constraints to presentation.
Content, too, has no guarantee of consistency.
And, although both receive marketing, blogs get less of it and for good reason.
Blogs are more of a gamble.


You can, then, think of your readers as seeking buried treasure.
Marketing simply becomes a treasure map.
And your job is to reward them for finding you blog.


Be bountiful!
