You always suck at the beginning Always.
万事开头难。还记得是什么让你有了创作的冲动,写下的第一篇文章吗?
学会营销
-
Headlines are 90% of the battle.
标题很重要 -
Responding to every comment is never a waste of time.
积极互动,对每条评论的回应都是有意义的。 -
Leaving 5 comments a day is one of the best marketing strategies you can use as a beginning blogger.
自我推广,每天留下5条评论,是初级写作人最佳的自我营销策略。 -
If someone emails you a question, that’s a tell-tale sign you have a serious future in blogging.
如果有人给你发电子邮件问问题(私信也算),那是你的博客领域有人感兴趣,有市场,未来可期。 -
Do not use weird images you found on Google. Use Pexels and Unsplash for everything. I repeat: EVERYTHING.
不要使用你在谷歌或百度上找到的奇怪图片,所有东西都要使用Pexels和Unsplash。重复一遍:所有东西。
Pexels和Unsplash是免费素材库,上面有很多优质图片素材 -
Your tribe will read everything you write, not your friends or family(weirdly enough).
你所在的(创作)圈子会读你写的一切,而不是你的朋友或家人(挺奇怪是吧)。
物以类聚,人以群分,大家背景不一样,教育程度不一样, 相同领域,同频的读者会更认同你的想法。找到适合你的写作平台,和受众群体。
写,快写,写就完事了!

My best-performing blog posts were written in less than 45 minutes.
我表现最佳的博客文章是在45分钟内写成的。
老话,一而再 ,再而三,三而竭。好的文章,往往不是左思右想,来回踱步,而是进入心流,如有神助,很短的时间内便可产生。 -
Scared to post something where you’re being raw? People don’t care as much as you think they do. There is no spotlight surrounding you every moment of every day. I say this to inspire you to publish!
没准备好,文章害怕不敢发?别人并不像你想象的那样在乎,都盯着你,不要太在意别人的眼光,有想法就快写,快发吧,Just do it !
写作也是个自我总结,反思的过程。 -
You won’t want to write every day, but neither does anybody else. If you can find a way to get over this, it’s a foregone conclusion that you’ll see success.
你不会每天都想写,但其他人也不会。如果你能找到一个方法来克服这一点,那么你将会成功。 -
Perfect grammar doesn’t matter as much as you think. Just write.
完美的语法并不像你想象的那样重要,写就完事了。
思考与进步
-
Writing isn’t always fun. Read that again for me.
写作并不总是有趣的,再读一遍给我听。 -
PLOT TWIST: You can be better than these people if you legitimately try to see their point of view and change.
惊人转折🐂:接受不同观点,如果你真正尝试去理解别人不同的观点,无论观点对与否,你会进入辩证思考,更深入的思考,你会变得更好。 -
Blogging is by far the easiest/best way to become a better person. You’re constantly having your views attacked/challenged, while others keep their thoughts to themselves. Congratulations, you’re going to grow 1,000% faster than everybody else.
博客写作绝对是进步,成长最简单或最好的方式。你不断地遭受着别人对你观点的攻击或挑战,而其他人却保持着自己的想法。那么你将比其他人快1000%的增长。
质疑与黑子
-
Other people will be mean to you in the comments. To disarm them, reciprocate with love. It’s worked for me.
有些人留言可能很刻薄。要化解他们,以爱回报,这对我有用。对你这有用吗? -
Haters normally hate on everybody. Just look at their profile and see some of the recent responses they’ve written.
恨你的人通常对所有人都怀有敌意。只要看看他们的资料,看看他们最近写的一些回复就知道了。 -
Blogging is the most humbling thing you will ever do. People will light you up if your logic isn’t sound.
保持虚心,谦卑,博客写作是你将要做的最谦卑的事情。如果你写的逻辑不合理,人们可能会喷你。
写作助人,也助己
-
Always make your writing about helping other people. This isn’t just about telling your story/a way for you to vent when you’re pissed off. Ground your content in giving more than you take, and you’ll be so much closer to success.
写作可以帮助到其它人,写作不仅是讲述一些东西,或发泄情绪,或许,不要上来就带有很强的目的地性,给予式写作,帮助他人,不求回报,不知不觉,可能会离成功更近。 -
The best posts happen when you’re deeply, deeply upset. Use writing to help yourself feel better, then publish it to help other people feel better who are going through the same thing.
最好的帖子可能是在你非常非常沮丧的时候发生的。用写作来帮助自己感觉好一点,然后发布它,来帮助其他正在经历同样事情的人。
低落时写作,迷茫时写作,写作是自我对话的过程。情绪上,思考上,它总会帮到你,真的,感谢那个不断的写作的自己,让未来成就更优秀的你!
