92% of my articles are junk.

What separates the 8% that succeed from the junk?

I reread my work and ask myself:

What’s missing in my how-to articles?

Sadly, I couldn’t figure it out.

Then, I stumbled across this story.

I’m reading Superfans by Pat Flynn.

If you want to turn your followers into true fans, I highly recommend it.

Here’s his story:

Pat came across Ramit Sethi’s blog.

He read an article about how to save $1,000 in ten minutes.

Here’s how:

  1. Call your cable company.
  2. Read Ramit’s script to negotiate.
  3. Enjoy.

It sounded too good to be true, but Pat followed the advice.

Then, boom! He saved $1,000.

After reading the story, I rechecked my winning 8% and found a pattern.
