To succeed as a legacy blogger in 2022, you need to master:
• SEO
• Social media
• Marketing
• Design
• Development
• Analytics
Or, you could just start a Social Blog and not worry about any of this.
Here's why Social Blogs are essential for Digital Writers:

It took
@typeshare_co
• 7 months to get from $0 → $1k MRR
• 4 months to get to $10k MRR
• 1 month to get to $15k MRR
Put something out, consistently improve it, and be patient!

Your business needs to have an opinion.
For
@typeshare_co
, we believe the future of writing is:
• on social platforms (not blogs)
• data-driven: short feedback loops
Selling the methodology first, makes selling the solution (the tool) 10x easier.

Anyone else screenshot literally everything?
• confirmation numbers
• design inspo
• products
• articles
• todos
An app that parsed the content of your screenshots and organized them would be massive.
Bonus if it could be synced with other apps (calendar, todo app, etc.)

Same goes for building products.
1. Build something shitty
2. Slowly make it not shitty
Getting to step 1 is the entire battle.
2 steps to write well:
1. Write poorly
2. Improve it
99% of people never get to step 1 – which is 99% of the battle.

Start with a small idea and focus on the execution.

I get a lot of DMs asking how to get into coding.
Just build something and Google everything!
Some of my early Googles:
• "How to make a button?"
• "How to make a button blue?"
Eventually you'll learn. Just be patient.

I built a dead simple Open Graph image generator to make links look better when shared on 𝕏.
• Add a title and description.
• Choose a custom theme (colors and fonts).
• Have AI generate a background image (or add your own).
Returns a URL you can copy.
Should I ship it??

You don't need to know how to code to start coding.
Like 99% of things in life, you learn by doing.
I started Typeshare to learn how to code. I just googled and copy/pasted everything.

You can't expect to make magic by staring at a blank page.
At least not yet.
Start with templates.
1) They show you exactly what works.
2) The output is actually good.
I've learned design, coding, and writing - all from templates.

The biggest mistake I make when building new features for

Every extra thing adds 10x more complexity.
I've found it's always better to focus on the core feature and make sure that experience is perfect.

4) Share it everywhere.
Twitter, Reddit, ProductHunt, HackerNews, LinkedIn, IndieHackers.
These platforms have distribution and that's just what you need.

Most people (including me) focus on all the wrong things when they start building.
• Pricing
• Features
• Design
None of these matter at the start.
All that matters is that you build something and launch it.

Writing is a song.
Too many long sentences = low readability
Too many short sentences = too choppy
Not enough variation = boring
Balance these, and your writing will sing.
