This very question has been bugging me and up to date I still can’t make a decision on which is better, and thats why I need precious opinions from you guys after reading this post!

I was at the cafe this afternoon and witnessed a manager in his late twenties ordering an older worker around so I started to ponder upon this question, “Is experience or talent more important?” Just like when you choose your food, does taste or look weigh more on your deciding factor? Since they both don’t exist together normally! I mean on normal circumstances, don’t beat me on this!

Now linking how you blog to how you choose your food, here are some of my thoughts.

1) Tasty food but doesn’t look as appealing in appearance. You would have noticed food attracts people first by its look and then by its taste and smell because thats just how our senses work. Now, food that looks really yummy would definitely attract a huge starting crowd but you probably start losing customer if it doesn’t taste good and people won’t return after the first time. Likewise, food that taste really good but doesn’t look as appealing takes a longer time attract its deserved crowd but they will definitely return for it because of the value it gives.

Now put it in terms of blogging, your content and your blog. Your food is now your daily input, marketing and valuable content while look is of cos the outlook of your blog. You decide, which is more important if you are looking for a long term business? Assuming its never easy for them to exist together…

2) Put yourself in your readers’ shoes. Just like how you choose your food, what makes your favourite snack so favourable to you? The color of the package? The sweetness? The chewiness? This is how you can discover something in your blogging niche that can help you improve your own blog. When you visit others’ blog, what is it that you like? What is that you wish you could have done also? Once you have picked that out, go ahead and do it right away! I am pretty sure you could at least reach the same level as your peers did. Believe in yourself, I did!

3) Too much junk is bad for your health. According to Dictionary.com, the definition of Junk goes like this, “anything that is regarded as worthless, meaningless, or contemptible; trash.” People tend to love junk food despite knowing that they are JUNK… Doh! Now that I have defined junk for you, you should know what they are and start removing them from your blog! More badges doesn’t make you more popular, they are NOT medallions. I know they look good and tasty, but you know its definitely not what it looks like…

Well, I had more ideas running in the noon but they kinda vanished at this moment since its almost bed time for me. Too bad I didn’t have a notepad with me at that time, my bad! So guys, what are your thoughts?
