Solid advice for writing online, from Sean Goedecke:
- Try and find opinions you have that lots of people disagree with. Those are the interesting opinions others might want to read about
- Ideas should come naturally from doing actual work, not from sitting and reflecting on what a good blog post would be
- It’s OK to write multiple posts about the same thing
- I deliberately don’t include every caveat – good readers will know I’m only writing about my old experience; bad ones won’t care anyway
- I try to be upfront about my experience so readers can judge how seriously to take what I’m saying
- Set up a RSS feed and some kind of analytics
