Another benefit of microblogging is that I don’t have to worry about SEO. I can if I want to, but it’s such a bother. To have proper SEO for a post, I have to:
- Find a featured image
- Figure out a keyword, and ensure it’s sprinkled everywhere in the post.
- Populate the meta description.
- Add links: both outbound and internal.
- Have a minimum of 300 words in the text.
It eats away a lot of time! Time which I would rather write instead. Sometimes SEO can end up taking more time than writing the micro-post itself!
With atomic/micro-posts, it’s such a small amount of content that it’s not worth it to spend time on SEO. When I eventually combine them to create an epic post, it will justify the effort for SEO.
With that, I have managed to remove one more obstacle from writing 🎉
