" Now that is useful to know"- something I always say
According to the Contagious book, the fifth component of making an idea viral is for it to have Practical Value.
I used to be an academic. But I never published papers. I have been credited as author on a few papers but not as a sole author. Publishing academic papers was never of interest to me.
I love writing books and my blog. I believe that these contribute practical ideas to the world. Writing a paper that stretches some theory a little bit is cool but of limited practical value.
So if your idea is of practical value then it has a chance. People have to judge it a something of value that can be applied immediately.
Today's question is:
" How practical is your idea?"
