You answered everything and got good at nothing

You answered everything and got good at nothing

When you reply to every query, even ones far from your expertise, your answers go thin and generic. Reporters can smell a stretch.

Think of it like applying to 50 jobs with the same letter. Volume doesn't fix a weak fit.

1. Pick 2-3 narrow topics you genuinely know cold.
2. Only answer queries that land squarely in those lanes.
3. Spend the saved time making those few replies excellent.

A reporter who gets one sharp, clearly-expert answer from you remembers you. Ten mediocre ones just train them to skip your name.
