> A Pillar Blog Post is just a big, meaty piece of content packed with insights on a specific niche topic written in 1,000 words. In comparison, an Atomic Essay is 1 single idea written in 250 words. Which (according to math) means, a Pillar Blog is nothing more than 5 Atomic Essays strung together.
> Here are the steps:
> • Grab 5 of your proven Atomic Essays
> • Copy / paste them into a single document
> • Arrange them in an order that makes sense for the reader
> • Write a brief introduction
> • Add a transition sentences between each essay
> • Then sum up the whole piece with one takeaway
> • Hit publish!
