Two Blogging Tips to Write More

13 Nov 2024 #writing

Inspired by Seth Godin and Herbert Lui, I looked up other people writing daily on their personal blogs and found these two pieces of advice:

1. If it’s longer than a Tweet, 280 characters, it can be a post.

That’s from Mike Crittenden’s 2 months of daily blogging.

Post length doesn’t matter if we transmit the message clearly in a few words. A post can simply be a headline and a main idea. Don’t feel guilty about short posts.

2. Instead of leaving a comment, write a reaction post and share a link instead.

A reaction post, even a short one, is calmer and thoughtful. Often, we write most comment in “the heat” of reading or without even reading the entire piece.

That sounds like one tip to never run of writing ideas and a way to preserve keystrokes.
