AUGUST 7, 2012

I've now been blogging for eight and a half years and it's undoubtedly my most valuable career asset--but not just for its reach. It has a number of ancillary benefits that a lot of people who don't blog might not realize. I was teaching a General Assembly class the other day on careers and I talked about what blogging does for me, and I don't think I'd really ever encapsulated it in a way that I could advocate to others. Blogging is also a self discovery tool.

I used to love blogging. Blogging proved to be a great way to hone my ideas, have public conversations with people and as it turns out – build meaningful relationships through public dialog that spilled over into the real world. Somewhere along the way blogging changed. Fred Wilson said as much in his blog post today, too. I guess it’s just a reality of blogging and I accept that. I like “single take” blogging.

On blogging I blog because I love it. Mostly I’m Blogging for the Hell of It, Not Blogging to Stay Relevant. My other secret on blogging? I told her I need “20 minutes” to write a blog post. I felt like blogging.

and I can't argue strenously enough for investing the time into a blog this year if you've started a company. Blogging about what you do provides a long term, consistant assault on their will power. When an entrepreneur doesn't blog--it makes me wonder if they understand what investing in the long term really means. Blogging is a way to seed ideas with journalists. That's a good thing for any entrepreneur, not just one who blogs.

Blogs. By definition, you read blogs. If you care about accessing customers, reaching an audience, communicating your vision, influencing people in your industry, marketing your services or just plain engaging in a dialog with others in your industry a blog is a great way to achieve this. People often ask me why I started blogging. I often get the question from people, “I’d like to blog, but I don’t really know what to talk about?&#

After my company was acquired by Salesforce.com I was asked to stop blogging and they took over my blog as an asset in the sale of the company. My blog was wiped out. I had kept a personal blog for more than a year and was new at keeping a professional blog. Remember, I was new to professional blogging.

Blog some rhetorical questions that are on your mind. Comment on a series of posts other professionals in your area of expertise seem to be talking about. Read something in a totally different genre like philosophy or history and try and put it in the context of your job. Ask 4-5 smart people for a tip or best practice around something everyone in your area needs to know. Take a look at your resume and write some first impressions/common misperceptions of yourself.

And there is relationship between debating and blogging. I started blogging in 2005 and then re-started blogging about a year ago. The most important experience I have in blogging is the debate it encourages. So it goes with blogging. So it goes on my blog. I lived in the UK for nearly a decade. I loved my experience there and wish I got back more often now. As a political junkie one of my favorite things to do was to watch Question Time.

I told everyone to start a blog--and I believe that. A blog is also a mental portfolio for knowledge workers. Blogging is hard. As I come up on the 10th anniversary of my blog, I know well what it takes to maintain a blog. When I started in early 2004, very few people were blogging--and then I watched blogging take off. The web is riddled with dead blogs and rare is the consistant indie blogger who just writes because they like to.

I’ve been getting a few questions about the tools I use to publish this blog, so I figured I’d write about it and reveal the machinery behind the curtain. Jekyll is the blogging engine; Github is the hosting provider; Mou is the app I use to write these posts; and RStudio is the place I analyze data and make charts. I chose Jekyll because Jekyll sites load faster than most other blogging platforms. The blog is instrumented with Google Analytics with custom events.

The next users after that is reading a blog post that I wrote nearly 9 months ago. But I can always see the correlation between writing a blog or publishing on a social network and traffic. It’s now 20 minutes later and there are still 64 people active on my blog.

I have been on a bit of a blogging break which is likely to go on for a few more weeks. I plan to return to blogging in a few weeks. The break has been the result of a confluence of several factors, starting with a lot of work. Historically, I would have reacted by cutting back on sleep and workouts but now I know better than to do that. I need 8 hours of sleep and when I don’t get those I can’t think well and, more importantly for the people around me, become irritable.

I left on a Sunday. I had to miss a full day with my family, camping in the mountains. I returned home Friday night at 10pm – too late to see my kids. I’m reminded of this feeling. It’s all too familiar. It’s what life was like as an entrepreneur.

The attention you get from saying something intelligent and thoughtful comes slower and in smaller amounts than the attention you get from being controversial, but it lasts longer, compounding over time. Focus on the topics you care about and that you find interesting, not what everyone else is talking about. Take a position and stand for something, but be open to learning from others. The less words you need to make a point, the better.

I wanted to see two things: Would the second (or sometimes even third Tweet) convert enough people to my blog to make it worth potentially annoying some people on Twitter? Many people reading today’s blog post would have seen it by clicking through on Twitter. If your goal is to send a Tweet that converts to people to a blog post sending more than one Tweet is recommended. Last September I was on a panel with Guy Kawasaki talking about Twitter.
