A tip for writing good ground building posts
Figure out some things that an expert in your niche takes for granted. I like to go to forums and check out all the posts that are made by the people who has recently left the newbie state. I work with creating software and programmers tend to get in a state where they know to much to be careful and check everything twice, but way to little to anticipate the mess they are getting in to. As if that is not bad enough they tend to dislike being told they are doing things badly. Most programmers grow out of it though. However pointing them to a good article describing a scenario and a workable solution might make them think and get you one more subscriber.
Reason a bit around these matters of course and decorate your reasoning with a, preferably, self experienced anecdote or two. It makes the post more fun to read and it builds your reputation as an expert in your field. If you manage to write so much that you could talk about it for 45 minutes without repeating your self, you could enter yourself as a speaker in a niche conference and get even mote attention to your blog.
You have to be careful when writing these kinds of posts so that you don’t forget your audience. Problems that are huge for newbies needs a whole other language than problems faced by experts.
