Why Blog Daily

Blog #0004 - Is blogging daily a useful habit or a waste of time.

Kieran Macrae made a good point on why his daily blogging was time wasted. If you do it just for a sense of satisfaction and a status of "daily blogger", you're wasting your life. Always remember it is about bringing value, reach your audience and making impact.

Yet it also takes time, it is a fake dream to focus on fancy SEO while your content is still hollow. Grow from your origin story and build up personal branding through storytelling with authenticity.

Then it can grow into a community, or a movement:

• Seth Godin has been daily blogging for over 20 years and inspired many through the words.

• Wiwi Kuan through sharing his passions on many platforms and many years, is even quoted in a University Computer Science Lecture, although his background is a pianist!

• Xuan, Isshiki, Tony, etc. These alumni from Zhejiang University has this inspiring community of sharing knowledge and notes through their personal website.

Blogging is not the single medium, it can be through videos, forums, or even real-life events. I choose to blog as it is the natural gateway for me.

Who would be my audience then? People interested in utilizing tech as a means to human flourishing, to build smarter tools and better lives.
