What is
Quality Content?
Creating Quality Content is Challenging



    “Writing is easy: All you do is sit staring at a
    blank piece of paper (screen) until the drops of
    blood form on your forehead.”
                                           —Gene Fowler

    “There’s nothing to writing. All you do is sit down
    at a keyboard and open a vein.”
                                           —Red Smith
