The post is great thanks for that but you need a new less clickbaity title to succeed I think :D It triggers my inner clickbait resistance too much as well. If I didn't go to the reddit comments and saw some good discussion, I would have never read it.

Thanks for reading!

I get the sense that it's the topic more than the title. I think there's a lot of bad writing about blogging, so people have an allergic reaction.

Is there an alternative title you suggest?

I think even something as simple as removing the "How to" might do it.

Author here.

I'm happy to take any feedback or answer any questions about this post.

Maybe I am just feeling rebellious this morning, but the title makes me think to myself, "Oh yeah? I'll show you. I ain't reading it!"

That's okay! Coincidentally, I cover this in the post.
