Help Get Your Content Read by Avoiding Beast Mode
How many times has this happened to you?
You’re reading something online and things are going along great! You’re comfortable, interested and engaged.
And then, in your lower peripheral vision, you see IT. The monster. Not again!
You know it is there, but would rather pretend it’s not. It’s scary and ugly and you just don’t want to deal with it.
But you must deal with it, and you always do. How? By completely ignoring it. Because that’s the best way to make it disappear.
What is this beast? Let’s hope it’s not part of your content…!
Ginormous blocks of text!
Do you even want to look at that troll down below? Please do yourself and your readers a huge favor. Hit your keyboard’s Enter/Return key after writing 2 or 3 sentences.
You're much more likely to get your content read!
If pieces of your content are unwieldy, your message typically gets lost. Most readers will simply skim right past it.
We tend to seek easily digestible morsels of info. Like it or not, we are living in the age of TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read).
Keep those sentences breezy!

You obviously haven't read ads from the thirties....lol ! Point taken that is toooo much to take in!
A bit worrying,,,,,,,I was talking to a young woman who said there was no music worth listening to after the 80's, she was only 18!
Sure, the '80s had some great tunes, but so did the '90s and '00s and beyond. Maybe she just hasn't had enough exposure to what's out there.
Soundcloud.com is a great resource for free music discovery.
Daft Punk has some good ones. Verdis Quo was my first exposure to them -- still love that tune and even my 5-year-old daughter can dig it.
