During this period of time, TO tell the truth, I do not want to write articles. I am tired and lack of motivation. I once naively thought that the number of readers is proportional to the increase, but I found that I thought too much.
The purpose of this article is to share how to write technical articles, or to understand how to do a public number, you can first look at the following figure.
The purpose of writing
First of all, what is your purpose for writing an essay? Why write technical articles?
Of course, the best teacher is interest, I think the beginning of writing technical articles is nothing more than hobbies, sharing, improve themselves these several purposes, very few people at the beginning of holding the purpose of making money, early writing technical articles do not make any money ah.
Of course, at this point, most of the goals are clear from the beginning. Writing articles is profitable, very profitable.
As for a lot of people to share their own stem public number to earn how much money, an advertisement to earn how much money ah, I feel not quite appropriate.
For example, at the very beginning, I actually had two purposes: one was to make summaries for myself and the other was to make money. But as for how much I could make, I didn’t know at the very beginning.
Why do you want to write? You have to figure it out yourself first. When you reach 100,000 readers, it will not be easy to make millions a year.
I think making money is the number one motivation.
The direction of
A lot of people don’t really have a plan before they do things, including me when I started. I write whatever I want.
Technical writing is a very vertical field, but it needs to be directed well, or you’ll end up like a headless chicken.
Such as JAVA, algorithms, interviews, computer basics and so on are the most common.
JAVA first because there are so many people, so many people, it’s a little bit easier than writing something in C++.
Algorithm this piece of writing people are also many, the student party to find a job, society into the big factory need to brush, is also a big popular.
Others such as sharing interview experience, interview questions related, as well as various computer networks, operating systems are more suitable direction.
As for big data and machine learning, I personally think it is difficult. The technology itself is vertical enough, with fewer people, and it is really difficult to make a head in the direction of fewer people.
Don’t say I just write for myself, I just love to share, people are conformity, need to get affirmation, once this thing is not positive feedback, it is difficult to keep writing.
So, you know, don’t be capricious.
Otherwise, writing turns into self-congratulation, reading very little, and finally giving up therapy.
Subject matter
About the subject matter I think is pure text, comics, stories these several.
Pure text technology is very easy to say, like me and many authors are like this, the advantage is low threshold, writing is easier, knowledge point is dense enough, the disadvantage is that if the writing is not easy to understand, it is more difficult.
It’s hard to make comics. Can you draw them yourself? If not, we need a partner, one for the copy, one for the painting.
The advantage of the story is relatively strong attraction, suitable for the public number this direction, the disadvantage is to see a fun, no harvest, knowledge too little.
But serious people who study in the official account ah.
About the audience
This is actually very important. When you decide on your writing direction and subject matter, you must consider who you are writing to.
If it is a student and small white, your article can not write too deep, you have to write students and small white knowledge points of concern, you come up the whole gao Shen what what principle, this is not appropriate.
This is easier if the audience is an experienced developer, and you can write anything you want.
Further up, considering the vertical and vertical, you will face a situation of high and low, well, two men.
There’s gonna be a lot of stuff here, you write simple and he says you don’t have a lot of depth, what kind of stuff.
You write medium he said you do not go up, small white do not understand, senior players say you low.
No one can read it. There’s nothing I can do but backhand you a kick-ass and silently unfollow you.
To these people, send them one word, Gogoen.
You write a small white, easy to understand, and profound article out to see.
Type and Frequency
Before the time may be reproduced, handling can take off, now this era is not good, must rely on the original.
And WHAT I want to say is that it’s better to respect intellectual copyright. How would you feel if your article was wasted?
Although money is very sweet, but still do not forget to guard the bottom line, mutual encouragement.
Updating the rhythm is usually a week now, but don’t even think about it. What level do you think you can produce better things every day? I think you can change your name to Hao.
A good article needs to be polished, and even each word needs to be considered. Time is indispensable, and we all have to go to work. It is not easy to write an article in ordinary times and weekends.
Writing platform
Writing platform this is more, if the realization of the ability of course is the public number.
What a variety of private domain flow words have rotten, the Internet word is fragrant.
Nuggets this platform is too partial to the front direction, and now can not put two-dimensional code, the effect is general.
CSDN is a small platform, so many articles of public accounts are not suitable for CSDN, and CSDN relies on manual recommendation. If you want to get to the home page, you have to add groups and ask the editor for help. Later, I thought it was too troublesome to do.
Jane book, SegmentFault, Open Source China, InfoQ these several are no traffic, usually synchronous hair even if.
Today’s headlines flow is actually very big, but my number is more fans, machine recommendation mechanism I can only say a ha ha, forget it, or say a garbage, think about to gas, garbage.
Zhihu, traffic is very big, but how to say, the man prefer to wrangle, feeling all feel the appearance of the crane, to be honest, I think the public who has always been more normal, like read a book, and I spray a lot on zhihu, creative environment is very bad, your hair article as long as to zhihu late report will be successful, Finished also have to open a member to feedback with customer service, customer service are outsourcing, backhand to you do not know where to copy the link in the book said that you copy, the United States yue its name 42 words is called plagiarism, change the name of 42 chapter by.
Blog park old platform, what is not a lack of fine trolls, why? I thought about it, or programmers more problems, experience it yourself, sometimes programmers do not reflect on their own long easy to not like a normal person.
Reading and Quality
The other thing I want to say is that one of the things to avoid in writing is that reading doesn’t equal quality, and that’s why clickbait is so prevalent right now.
The most disgusting platform is the headline, every article is teaching you how to headline, is the originator of the headline party! Not the Son of man!
Here again want to spray the byte, said wechat to him how how, their platform is not a bird, any article video with a public number words will give you a shield, are the struggle of capitalists, we people don’t take sides, are a pair of virtues.
A good title can improve reading, but reading well does not mean reading well. It is ok to do it occasionally, but not every day.
Calculate, still don’t say, after all fool is much, as if every day when title party is also more sweet now.
About how to write an article
How to write technical articles, how to write well, actually very difficult.
First of all, their language level must pass the bar, sometimes their own understanding does not mean that they can clearly say it to others, so good teachers have been very few, they will and others have been very difficult to teach, have to practice.
Secondly, as a technical article, have to ensure that their understanding of this piece of technology is basically in place, needless to say particularly profound.
A lot of people, before they start writing, think, oh, my God, I don’t seem to understand this that well, I dare not write, the baby is afraid.
You are afraid of nothing. Only after writing can you find your shortcomings and improve yourself. Write first and then, at the beginning, don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
In addition, the technical article is best to avoid a large pile of code, with pictures, especially for the public number, I want to know what you write a source code analysis of others on the mobile phone how to see, your own code is not tired in the mobile phone, and a pile of copies from the book, the picture is not, how to see.
As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.
You can’t go wrong with multiple drawings.
There is also how to control the content of articles. For example, to solve online problems, many people think there is nothing to write, I solved it immediately.
In fact, you can write about the process of thinking, the process of solving the problem, and then why the problem happened, the cause of the problem, and finally the method of solving the problem. In fact, the whole article would be rich.
If you feel not skilled, you can write the outline first, I am relatively simple, because I am not good at writing long articles, I do not like long articles, I seem to think that not many people are willing to read long articles on the phone, according to my usually not long articles reading completion rate, long articles will never be too considered.
I usually write each subheading first, so that the whole idea of writing is ready, and then slowly fill in the content.
And the last thing is to keep going, keep going, keep going. It might be easy to write 1 or 10 articles, but it’s very difficult to write 100 or 200 articles.
One is everyone’s knowledge base, and the other is sheer personal perseverance.
That concludes with a few key points from the beginning.
Well, that’s all for today. I haven’t had water for a long time, and the speed of water has slowed down.
