As others have pointed out, spending more time on quality content would probably serve you better. Unless you're a gifted, uncanny writer, you're going to inevitably write thin content if you produce the amount that you're talking about writing in the next year.

And thin content = very, very high bounce rates. You'll probably struggle to hit your conversion topics.

In the vast tsunami of content, your potential users are looking for detailed, relevant and actionable content - not a short, dashed off article.

That's my gut feeling anyway. Regardless, good luck with your efforts. Keep us updated.


Agree!! Mixergy does almost zero post production but has amazing content if you're in the startup space.


Good lord you're right. Nothing worse than two guys joking around!!


This ^^ If you don't have strict, solid form, when you load a bunch of weight on the bar, you WILL get injured. It's inevitable. I recommend a relatively new book BY THE NUMBERS. Full disclosure, it was written by the former owner of my gym, but the reviews have been solid across the board.


First thing, relax! As others have pointed out, this won't be the first time that someone has quit a job without notice.

In the early 90s, right out of college, I was sent to a godawful temp assignment in Austin, Texas. The temp agency told me multiple times, "Call us when you arrive." I arrived at the job, and the company didn't have a phone that employees could use. They directed me to a payphone in the lunch room. At the lunch break, I left the building and drove home. I called the temp agency to let them know I wasn't going back. They were pissed.

As others have said, I would be professional. Don't just disappear. Call, email, speak with both bosses and explain you've got personal issues. If you possibly can, work two weeks. If not, let them know you can't.

Good luck!!


I'm skeptical.


Me too. Given how iOS apps are sandboxed from each other, I don't see how an app can get rid of anything in any other apps' directory.
