[–] aaron32311 5y ago ↗ FYI, it's more content related. Patio talks about it a bit more on Twitter [1] and on in this article [2].Here is a tl;dr:- Avoid dates on your content.- Avoid templates, like stock imagery.- Avoid commoditized labels (such as calling a book a pdf).- Don't use self-deprecating language or show self-doubt.- Change formats - turn your old article into a recorded podcast.- Finally, close off with where people can learn more about you for e.g. "here is what ive been working on lately".[1] https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Apatio11%20friend-catcher...[2] https://training.kalzumeus.com/newsletters/archive/content-m...
