As part of my journey, I’m posting basically everything that interests me.

And in the areas I feel strong or feel confident that I have value to share, I’ll be creating personal “Pillar Posts”.

What exactly is a pillar post?

Essentially, it’s a long-form blog post that combines several ideas and previous posts around one main topic into one cohesive and foundational piece of content.

I think of it as a “beacon” for myself and it that serves as a go-to resource I can go back to and relearn or revise and for readers who are interested in a particular topic.

What makes a pillar post different from a regular blog post?

For one, it’s longer and more in-depth, often covering a broad topic or providing a comprehensive guide.

It’s also evergreen, meaning it’s not time-sensitive and can be relevant to readers for a long time. Additionally, it’s structured and organized in a way that’s easy for readers to digest and follow. (Well, that would be the plan at least)
