    导读

    这是作者回顾十年专业博客写作经验的总结,评论补充了写作作为深度学习、聚焦主题、保护写作习惯和选择发布平台等实践。对写作者来说,它提醒我们持续写作不靠灵感,而靠方法、主题积累和低摩擦的发布系统。

    关键词 专业博客写作方法主题聚焦发布平台

    可以直接用的写作要点

    1. 01

      把每篇文章当成一次深度学习:选小主题、研究至少一周,写作过程本身继续学习,完稿后再复盘理解。

    2. 02

      不要等成为专家才动笔,面向比你懂得少的读者写,降低心理门槛。

    3. 03

      在一个具体领域持续大量输出,让自己成为该主题被记住的人,而不是同时铺开无数主题。

    4. 04

      为写作保护固定时段,别让工作邮件等事务侵占;同时用低门槛平台和邮件列表扩大读者,但保留内容导出或自有阵地。

    HN 评论精选

    把写作当作深度学习过程,小主题深研究后动笔,不必等成为专家。

    我发现写博客是深度学习一个主题的最好方式之一。所以我写作不是为了营销,而是为了个人成长;营销是附带结果,我不太像楼主那样关注标题。我的流程是:选一个很小的主题或算法;至少深入研究一周,有时几个月;开始写,学习仍在发生;写完时通常已经很好地理解了这个主题。不要因为不是专家就不写;你可能不是专家,但很多人懂得比你少,他们会觉得文章有价值。

    I've found that writing a blog post is one of the best ways to learn something deeply. So I write stuff, not for marketing but own my personal development. Of course marketing is nice sub result, but I never focus too much on title like the OP. My process looks like folowing - Choose the subject (usually a very small topic or algorithm) - Study it deeply for at least a weak, sometime months. - Start writing the post, learning is still happening. - Finish the post. At that point I usually have a very good understanding of the topic. Never think that you can't write about a subject because you are not an expert. You may not be an expert but there are more people who know less than you and they will find the post worthwhile. https://blog.chamoda.com

    别让工作邮件侵占原本的写作时间,想重拾写作就要保护习惯。

    好文。我多年前经常写博客,但自从Google Reader关闭、Facebook和Twitter流行后就越写越少,一直想重新开始。文中这句话吸引我:开始正常上班后,周日晚上更难写,因为工作邮件开始了。别这样对自己。

    Good read. I used to blog very regularly years ago, but since the end of Google Reader and the growing popularity of Facebook and Twitter, I’ve been blogging less and less. Always wanted to pick it up again. Anyway, this caught my attention: > Since starting a normal job (haha) it’s gotten harder to write on Sunday evenings, since that’s when the work email starts Don’t do this to yourself.

    聚焦一个具体主题持续大量写,是建立辨识度最快的方式。

    我写博客约两年,发了120多篇文章,他说的很多有道理。尤其是找到自己的声音,我仍没完全找到。我的问题是做了20年开发者后才开始写,想聊无数主题。但这个领域最快成功的方法是围绕一个具体主题大量写,然后你突然就成了那个主题的“那个人”。

    I've been blogging for about 2 years (120ish articles posted) and a lot of what he says makes sense. Especially finding your voice. I still don't feel like I've figured that one out. My problem is I started blogging after working as a developer for 20 years so I want to talk about a billion different topics. But the quickest way to become successful in this field is to write a ton about 1 specific thing and then suddenly you're "that guy" about the topic you're writing about.

    Medium在曝光、邮件列表和低门槛发布上有优势,且内容可导出到自有博客。

    关于用Medium而非自建博客的好处,有几点补充:投稿到出版物很容易获得大量免费曝光,例如我最成功的文章被HackerNoon接受后,头几周带来3.6万浏览和1500个Medium订阅;收集邮箱很容易,设计漂亮的行动号召图片链接到订阅表单,若有免费指南或赠品更好,这让Medium在建立读者上约有自建博客95%到99%的效果,上述文章后来带来约200个邮箱订阅;你还可以一键请求其他作者的好文章,获得免费内容和读者;Medium编辑器显著降低门槛,WYSIWYG格式减轻压力、让写作更有参与感,也更容易发短内容,我的很多文章始于过长的推文或想更好分享的HN/Reddit评论,100到200词、Seth Godin风格的短文容易定期写;而且你总能把文章从Medium导出到个人博客。

    A few counterpoints on benefits of using Medium over of your own blog: - Submitting your articles to publications is a very easy way to get a lot of free exposure. For example, my most successful post [1] generated 36k views and 1.5k medium subscribers in the first couple of weeks just by being accepted to HackerNoon. - Collecting email addresses is extremely easy. Design a pretty CTA image that links to your email sign up form. Bonus points if you'll create a free guide or some other giveaway. This makes Medium about 95-99% as effective at building an audience on a custom blog. The post mentioned above generated about 200 email signups over time, which is pretty good for free exposure I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. - If you're interested in growing your own publication, you can easily request good stories written by other authors(one click on a menu under each post). That gives you free content and audience, if you want. - For me personally, Medium's editor significantly lowers the barrier of entry. Something about the well designed WYSIWYG format takes away the pressure and makes writing more engaging. Besides it's easier to publish short-form content. Many of my posts start out as tweets that ended up being too long, or as HN/Reddit comments I'd like to share in a better format. 100-200 word Seth-Godin-style posts are easy to write regularly and medium's format encourages you to do that. - You can always export your posts from medium into your personal blog. That's what I do for mine[2]. Write on medium to gain free audience and exposure, repost to your website, then promote posts from your site on twitter/reddit, thus still keeping all the benefits. You can even cherry pick your best articles - use medium to generate a ton of posts without any pressure to be good, and publish the ones you're most proud of on your site.
