Hi everyone, with the hope to provide value first and ask for help second, here is a guide which I wrote on my blog.

If you had asked me if I would ever make money from my blogging, I would have said no. I lack any special talent, gift, or even a writer to mentor me.
If I can make money from writing, you can too.

1- Blog titles are 80% of the work, but you write them as the very last thing.
If you’re starting a new blog then the lowest hanging fruit in “Blogging” is to make your titles more clickable.

2- Learn the “Art of Storytelling in Writing” A blog should be written so that the reader can use the information and come away from it feeling as though they learned something new.

Don’t worry about duplicate ideas- There’s always room for high-quality thoughts/opinions/feedback as we all have something unique to offer because we learned things differently and can project ideas with a unique angle.

Not every developer can afford or is interested in “Networking events” so just write on the Internet.
“Blogging is a scalable professional activity – write a blog, stay remote, no need to attend events/conferences, just put your ideas on the internet.”

All of the interesting and unique people I met online happened after I accomplished something and continued to do so or tried to do so repeatedly.
If you do interesting things, founders, creators, millionaires and then billionaires will contact you. They also become your friends but They’ll never be found at any networking events.

5. Start by writing about what you know and copy your favourite writers- “No software developer began as a great writer.” Start writing about what you already know, working in your career and share it with the community.
You’ll be surprised at how many lives you’ll touch.

6- “Don’t look for a strategy; look for your unique voice and style.”
Option Vs Obligation
Every post I’ve written has made the next one easier to write.
The more you write, the better you will become, but you must put in the effort.
Treat each blog post as a small bet and make a commitment, time! You’ll discover a lot.

7- The initial years of blogging are boring.
“Despite very good writing, a blog would grow slowly. Big views would seem to be a distant dream. The effect of writing kicks off only after a certain amount of time and then it picks up the momentum. Patience and persistence are the key.”

8- Success in blogging is not linear, Embrace some randomness and keep writing
Having lots of drafts is nice. Having lots of drafts you must publish is not nice. Some drafts will never go in public.

9- If you want to write for a living think “blogging” like a business and be creative! – It’s an asset. Instead of paying attention, people give it to you.

“Just write poorly, and continue to write poorly, in public, until you can write better! It’s boring, but it works.” If your work isn’t online, it doesn’t exist because for out-of-the-box opportunities and networking to occur, you must write and be seen—really seen on the internet.

10- A blog or a personal website is a much better way to stand out as a developer than your resume or CV.
Hope this helps many who actually wanted to start a blog.

I've written about my experiences and journey in more depth on my blog.

Disclaimer: This is not your typical copy pasted or AI content. Instead, I'd like to show you that you can write a good technical blog and earn money with just a little bit of knowledge. I only cover topics of which I have firsthand knowledge. The majority of the information I provide here is irrelevant to those who believe in magic.
