I've never read the how-to pieces (except this one) because I don't trust them. If I knew why most things I write get about 7 views and another got 16k, why would I share that?

I have no idea why it happens, and either does anyone else.

Although... I do mention Dog the Bounty Hunter in the first paragraph of the 16k one. Hmmm.

But when I write about being afraid of jackfruit? And I mean, who isn't? Zilch.
