This is a great article.  Thank you very much for putting this guide together.  You brought up some great points that I didn't think about before, like 'it's not about how much work you put into your article'.  That's a really great point to emphasize.  It's much better to get a good idea of what kind of content people will think is valuable and then tailor your content to that.  I'm going to keep that in mind for future posts.  Thanks again :)
