Maintaining a professional blog
FOR WHAT?
-
Blogging will increase your understanding of things. When you explain to others, you begin to understand better yourself.
-
If you have to explain something for the third time. write a post and provide a link to it. This will save time in the future.
-
Some posts will be useful to other people. These people will trust you more. This happens very quickly within the company and changes attitudes and atmosphere.
-
A professional blog is better than any resume.
-
A blog is a personal project. Blogging trains self-discipline and the ability to manage long projects.
-
A blog works like a collection of thoughts: I described an idea and freed up space in my head for the next one.
-
A blog is good for learning a new area of knowledge. Keep a blog like a diary, organize information. This will serve as proof that you are ready for real challenges in this field.
HOW? WHEN? FOR WHAT?
-
Start blogging early on in becoming a professional in your field. By posting, you receive criticism, hone your logic, style, and increase your level of relevant knowledge.
-
Start a blog in WordPress, LiveJournal, Tumbir, Telegram, Instagram. Or register a domain, buy hosting, install and configure the blog engine.
-
Make your first post. Repost on your social networks.
-
After the first posts, make a schedule. Come up with regular sections.
WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT

"Safe" topics: link selection. Try to “sell” the link. Write why it’s worth switching, why it catches you, why it may interest the reader.
-
Posts about books you read, how to read books, your notes from books.
-
Original articles. Analysis of cases, problems, how you solved them.
-
Checklists for different occasions.
