In 2018 this was an outline: a title and "Topics to cover and ideas". It was never in the published book, and it is shown exactly as it was left. The second edition fills it from the articles the map names.
Topics to cover and ideas
- Workpress, medium, Blogger
- find your voice
- hard part are the first 50 blog posts
- it is really hard to write
- view it as an exercise
- any feedback is healthy
- amazing feeling when one post gain traction (and it referenced in sites like redit)
- comments are gold (get rid of any kind of spam or link-bait in comments)
- use your blog to ask questions (with data behind your question and the paths you have tried)
- don't worry about how rusty and rough they are, what matter is that you have started to publish
- it is your blog and you are learning
- write about things you are doing on the day-to-day. explain your path and personal stories about making it to work
- write for your future self
-
key concept: "answer questions made to you with a blog" (great way to write good/relevant content and scale your time (specially important when you get asked the same question by multiple people/colleagues))
- i.e. when somebody asks you a question, write a blog post with the answer and send them the link to it
-
Blog titles are very important (since they help with SEO a lot)
