I have given up trying to figure out why a lot of my posts have very tepid interest, however sometimes I write a post knowing full well I am kicking the hornets’ nest and things are going to start flying. The best example I have of that is the now infamous I am a Civil Servant where I rail at a few of the dumber commentaries I have seen online about Canadian Civil Servants (some of the comments are classics, but I also suspected this might be the case).

I notice something like this too: sometimes, what I think are deeply thoughtful, well researched posts get little traction. Then I'll write something short, non-cerebral and off the cuff and it gets socialized like crazy.

Exactly! I'd like to think I have an understanding of what is interesting to folks, but I keep getting proven WRONG!

Hi Big Cajun Man,

I think most people who create content anywhere on the Internet have had similar experiences. For example, did you have any idea this post would draw such attention on BizSugar?

Well, you've got a front page post now so I'd say you're off to a great start. Congrats. :)

Nope, but then again, I have been not giving Bizsugar enough attention either, I am working on fixing that mistake as well!
