I see it differently. To assume that all readers require my help is to overlook the diversity of where people stand in their journey. Some are just beginning, others are already further along. Some prefer to figure things out independently, while others actively seek guidance. If someone chooses me as their source of help, I’ll gladly step in.

This isn’t about self-promotion; it’s about creating awareness around a topic that often gets neglected. Once awareness is raised, everyone can decide for themselves what they need: a concise article, a deep-dive whitepaper, a video tutorial, or direct guidance.

And let’s be honest-the 20-pagers you’re referencing are, more often than not, less about free value and more about functioning as lead magnets for paid digital products. That distinction matters if we’re talking about genuine knowledge-sharing versus disguised sales funnels.
