    It's less about being "smarter," it's really about identifying your advantage and understanding whether you can exploit it. This could be something as obvious as an information adv…

    I think the key difference is the audience. For a lot of food bloggers that share their recipes, the initial group of readers is loyal fans. They want to hear the stories and the r…

    As someone who has been quoted by major news outlets in what's likely a similar fashion - adding color to the story rather than reporting news - there is rarely "vetting" and the f…

    Another benefit of publicly sharing your learning is that if you misinterpreted or misremembered something, others can point it out so you don't go through life with incorrect idea…

    There are a lot of blogging categories that are surprisingly profitable but in different ways. The internet is quite vast!

    FWIW, that fluff is what builds a relationship with readers and for a lot of food blogs that's what separates you from powerhouses like seriouseats. You can usually just jump down …

    It's a huge mental barrier for a lot of people... but can it overcome by talking to something you know is a bot?

    It's because most people don't take 45+ minutes so they don't know the difference. In 10-20min you just have soft brown onions... but once you truly caramelize, you know it's total…

    We had one growing up that was the same way. Now I own one with a bazillion buttons and I only ever press one button - +30 seconds.

    For 100% passive, you really can't beat this. Funnel your cash into dividend stocks and now you have a stream of income that's taxed at a favorable rate too. Even if you were to go…

    I don't think it's cynical at all, I think a lot of how people view their job has to do with their evolution as an employee. If you fall in love with the mission, like the people y…

    When you saw the subsequent layoffs, what was your reaction?

    Can't the bot account for this by stating that if there's no response, call your local attorney and bring them this summary of facts?

    Testing titles isn't that innovative on the whole but coupled with different teasers on the homepage and automating that test seems to be something you don't often see. For example…
