OK, I’m just going to say it.

In today’s world, publishing Tunisia WhatsApp Number List second-rate content is a total waste of time.

There’s no point in contributing to the growing pile of mediocrity. It wastes your time, and, worse, it wastes your audience’s time.

Sometimes I’ll see a marketer Tunisia WhatsApp Number List complaining that:

“I spent two years doing all of that blogging and email stuff and I never saw anything out of it.”

And every time I’ve taken a closer look at their content, I’ve quickly seen why they never got traction.

So much content suffers from little professionalism “leaks.” Errors that undermine the content’s authority, squander audience interest, and detract from business goals.

Consistent quality

It’s one thing to be able to produce a good piece of content.

It’s another to keep producing quality material, week after week and month after month.

You could try to rely on your own instincts or talent, but some days, those things are in short supply. It’s smarter to develop a simple, reliable process.

Your process shouldn’t be so complicated that you won’t do it.

(Anyone remember David Allen’s 43-folders system from Getting Things Done? The one that could be replaced by … Google calendar?)

And it can’t be so simple that you miss important parts.

Ideally, you want a process that can be distilled into a discrete set of steps. Then you can simply create a checklist and efficiently tick each item off as you work.
