Daily Productive Sharing 035 - 十年博客的总结

(The English version follows)

今天推荐的是 Everything I've learned in 10 years of Blogging，作者从08年就开设了这一 blog，并且一直坚持下来。下面是他的总结：

No one has time to read your article, write the first lines like they're a TLDR.
The design of your site is irrelevant.
To start out you don't need any software.
Define your audience.
Figure out where your audience is.
For SEO don't write short articles (>2000 words)
One well researched article is better than a lot of mediocre content
Spend half of the time writing, half promoting.
Spend 50% of the writing time actually writing, the rest tweaking, reading and illustrating. Details are important.
Spill all your secrets. Don't be worried about the fact that you'll run out of content, you won't.
There are no rules, slowly craft your unique style.
Go back in your old posts and link them to newer ones.
Start a Newsletter.
Do what everyone else is afraid to do.
Reach out to people asking for things or offering tips.

对照着这份清单，我们评估了一下自己的 blog 做到了哪些：

No one has time to read your article, write the first lines like they're a TLDR.
- 这点和新闻写作很像，我们需要在今后的文章里多琢磨琢磨
The design of your site is irrelevant.
To start out you don't need any software.
Define your audience.
Figure out where your audience is.
For SEO don't write short articles (>2000 words)
One well researched article is better than a lot of mediocre content
Spend half of the time writing, half promoting.
- 目前已经尝试了豆瓣/少数派/ TG 等几个渠道，还需要进一步拓展
Spend 50% of the writing time actually writing, the rest tweaking, reading and illustrating. Details are important.
- 这点做得还不够好，基本上草稿一写完，自己读一遍就发了，今后需要进一步打磨
Spill all your secrets. Don't be worried about the fact that you'll run out of content, you won't.
There are no rules, slowly craft your unique style.
- 这点还在琢磨中
Go back in your old posts and link them to newer ones.
Start a Newsletter.
Do what everyone else is afraid to do.
- 这点也还在琢磨中
Reach out to people asking for things or offering tips.
- 这点也还在琢磨中
