Contrarian Blogging: Is Small the New Big?

I have a methodology in most things…do the opposite of what everyone else is doing.

So, when I started blogging, I took a look around and noticed that the vast majority of blogs were cranking out short posts a few times a day. I also noticed a few amazing blogs in the lifestyle/personal development niche that were putting up ridiculously long posts and, against what was then conventional wisdom, building massive readership.

So, I decided to follow the emerging contrarian tact and go long with my posts.
