Why your blog isn't Popular: FOR DUMMIES 101



Why your blog isn’t popular FOR DUMMIES: Sharing means Caring
Bobby Flay, Gordon Ramsay, Giadda, Jamie “The naked chef”,.. out of the thousands of Chefs out there, why do we know these more than others? Besides the fact they’re on telelvision. 
All these great chefs are well known because they write, cookbooks. We always hear about the secretive chef who would die to protect his recipe for mashed potatoes. Sure, that chef makes great potatoes but they’d only limit its popularity to the people that come into their restaurant, much less to just the people who order it. 
Those chefs I listed are great, because they share. They teach. They teach what they’ve descovered and learned throughout their years in culinary arts. They're relatable. They're more, like a friend. Just like friends, we share things. Share stories, new things, old things. It's not about being HEARD. It's about KNOWING. There's a difference between hearing about a great recipe for mashed potatoes than there is knowing that great recipe. 
So quit the “I’m so deep and cool and the ?hit and anonymous and mysterious and read between the lines” writing attitude. Really, share your thoughts. Share with us how your mother embarrases you, how he broke your heart and how you learned to mend it. If you really think your ?hit is that good, then why aren't you letting people know how good it is? If not, you just become a lookbook of blogs with entries that sound deep but don’t have any worth to the human mind. Sharing, means caring.
