And a peaceful afternoon, the sun through the window as a chair in the office, I just pulled out a piece of code, as usual, this moment is the a stretch, casual turned to the window, could not help but sigh with emotion “early summer the weather is really good, if you can walk on the path of the field, which is a kind of enjoy nice ah”.

However, at this time, the mobile phone suddenly rang, it turned out that someone had added my wechat, so casually click agree, the other party sent a “hello”, I also politely replied a “hello”, and then there is the news that makes me laugh and cry: “After reading your article, I think it is quite good. I like the author who is not popular with me and will reply to my message, unlike some authors.” Immediately all the attention is attracted by this line of text, but holding the mobile phone with a silly smile, he said that sentence which can express his inner feelings especially “I C”…

Stunned, I began to reflect on my past. First of all, I’ve actually been blogging for almost 10 years:

Even in addition to these, I am the Tencent Cloud Author of the Year 2019:

And the Nuggets’ best writers:

But that doesn’t change the fact that I’m not.

Self-reflection.

So I began to reflect on my own behavior, and I asked myself two questions:

  • First, how come I’ve been blogging for 10 years and it hasn’t taken off?
  • Second, why would I want to be angry?

Why is it that someone blogs for six months and it goes viral, and why am I blogging for 10 years and still the same?

So I did a comparison of my blog with other blogs that have gone viral, and here’s what I found:

  1. Most of my blog is for myself, a record and summary of my work, without considering the feelings of readers, more personal; The blogs that quickly become popular, on the other hand, have more content, better typography and structure, and are easier to read and more informative.
  2. The frequency of exposure per unit time determines the spread of your brand. That is to say, the more times you appear in the eyes of others within a certain period of time, the more likely you are to be remembered. This is why many chain brands at the initial stage of establishment must be opened in one region and one region, for example, 5 or 6 stores within 10 kilometers, instead of 1 store in one province, which can quickly improve their popularity and reduce the cost of distribution.
  3. They both have an audience, and more interaction increases the relationship and allows readers to get to know you better. With emotional added value, the probability of the article being shared twice increases a lot;
  4. .

And so on many reasons cause that ALTHOUGH I seem to do more time, but the reason is not popular. In fact, this problem can also be explained by the achievement formula, a person’s achievement = the speed of growth x the time of growth, and I only made an effort on the “growth time”, but did not work on the “speed”.

For example, if someone’s growth rate is 80 and growth time is 2, their achievement value is 160; My growth rate is 5 and my growth time is 10, so my achievement value is only 50, and there is a big gap between 50 and 160, which is why I have been doing blog for so long, but still not popular.

Knowing why I’m not angry, the next question to answer is, why am I angry?

Going back 10 years, what made me decide to start a blog?

At that time, the reason for writing a blog is very simple. First, the knowledge point memo is convenient for their search. Second, it may be helpful to others.

Since I didn’t set out to be “hot,” how does not being hot affect me?

That’s a lot of relief, so I’m just gonna go back to “breaking the pot”?

Of course not, the original intention of the past cannot be changed, but with the increasing of ability, I have been upgraded from the small white to the “contractor” (brag a wave), there is no reason not to do better. Should I give others more valuable articles, and relies on these articles obtain certain source of income, so, so I can spend more time and energy on the popularity of technical articles, which can form a healthy positive cycle, without changing the original situation, to put the things he is good at (knowledge creation) perfectly, This is life at its best.

Therefore, after a period of time, I tried to adjust my writing style, study other people’s writing methods, build a readership, buy almost all books about writing on the market, study and improve my writing methods, in order to provide better service to readers.

The last

I believe that no one can casually succeed, at the same time I also believe that the hard work of god.

Like Charles Dickens in a tale of two cities in the word “this is one of the best times, is a the worst of times”, is good we have more options, we can into the thing that oneself like, the bad is nobody will give us direction, no one will pay for our mistakes, but yourself.

Finally, may we not waste any more time and talk nonsense. Hope for a thousand things, but plant at least a beginning. Come on ~
