properties and publishing on external sites that can build your audience and
expand your reach."

Sujan: "This is a subject that I feel doesn’t always
get the attention it deserves. Content creators
like me spend so much time talking about the
“hows” and “whys” of writing great content that
we don’t always emphasise how important it is
for that content to look good."

Conclusion
Sujan: "Ultimately, when it comes to blog publishing –
whether that’s the way your blog looks, where you should
publish or what kind of content you should create – focus
on the needs of your users. Think about what they need
to know and what kind of content will delight them."
