Many are relieved for the news of blogs going BACK DOWN to 10 per week (points wise) from the 20 per week that was allowed. For a while there, it was interesting to see people who live for points and rankings (for whatever reasons) turn it up and toss them out. Quantity versus quality had prevailed
WHAT BECAME OF IT?
Many refused citing personal and professional reasons for not wanting or being able to rise to this carpel tunnel making challenge (lol) and just did not participate with all their ACTIVERAIN-HEARTS activated. I am reminded that the little things that people like or need to do, if played with or altered make a big difference in their participation. But how would you know this ahead of time? Four examples come to mind here
KEEPING PEOPLE WAITING
People want things and will spend their money for them whatever it is but keeping them waiting for the item or service goes against the call to purchase it. Long lines, products on back-order, parking if bricks & mortar and waiting to receive it... if online purchasing does affect sales. When money leaves your hands, you want something else in them...right there and then
DON'T HAVE TO ATTEND DRAWING TO WIN
Raffles and drawings with a chance to win a prize for little risk and involvement are always catching peoples attention. Lottery comes to mind. However, on those local ones, there used to be a rule that you had to attend the drawing to win. Sales were so-so. When they instituted a no need to be present to win, sales soared...
CHANGE YOUR OIL
Oil changes for you car are necessary and important. If you want to get into the hundreds of thousands of miles on your car, oil changes should get you there along with minor work on the way. Used to be where it took hours plus a big inconvenience to do this and people didn't and wouldn't do it. Now, its a no wait game and very inexpensive too. Drive-in and drive out...People will do it
REGISTER TO LOG-IN
Another controversial one is wanting people who visit with you online having to sign up to receive your services or to even enter into your web site. Many people just terminate at that point because of many reasons all valid. The point is...it defeats them finding you to begin with
THE NATURE OF THE HUMAN
Humans are like that. We move in swarms too depending on what is the activity. Apparently upping a doable blogging habit into quantity-land was collectively not a hit. Now, however, a new reality is upon us for nothing stays the same. It is simply this....
If we are back down to quality-land type blogging, then that is what people will expect i.e. quality. Let's see how that holds up starting now
