. Be Brutally¹ Honest

保持诚实

Honesty is always the best policy–especially when writing. Even fiction writers are honest. Authors like Stephen King and J.K. Rowling base their fictional² stories on true facts. They extensively research the subjects they write about, and they’re honest when describing the fantasy worlds and stories in their imaginations. This is what makes them successful. Learning to speak and think honestly is a skill we learn, and blogging is a great way to start.

诚实总是最好的政策尤其当写作的时候。即使小说作家也是诚实的。作家史蒂芬•金和J.K.罗琳自己虚构的故事基于真实的事实。他们广泛研究关于他们的主题的写作,他们诚实在描述他们想象力幻想的世界和故事。这是使他们成功的方法。学习诚实说话和想象是一个我们学习的技能,博客是一个伟大的开始方式。

2. Stick to Your Passions

坚持你的激情

If you’re not passionate³ about what you’re writing about, you’ll never be seen as an authority on the topic. You’ll always be behind and provide old (or inaccurate) info. Your creative well will run dry rather quickly. No matter what you’re passionate about, you can create a blog around it.

如果你不热爱你写的东西,你就永远不会被视为这方面的专家。你永远是在后面并提供旧的或不准确的信息。你的创造力将干涸而迅速。不管你热爱什么,您斗可以为你所热爱的东西创建一个博客。

3. Ignore the Haters

忽略那些讨厌我的人

No matter who you are or what you do, you’ll face your share of haters. These people will pour their Hater down your throat, telling you that everything you do is wrong, and you will fail. There are various ways to deal with haters, but my personal favorite is the acquaintance zone, which is a distant and much more insulting friend zone, as you leave these people in limbo⁴. Kindly⁵ brush those haters off–don’t even acknowledge their words. Simply shut them down and move on.

不管你是谁或你做什么,你将面对你的仇敌。这些人要将他们的仇恨塞进你的你喉咙，且告诉你所做的一切都是错的, 那样你就会失败。对付仇敌有多种方法,但我个人最喜欢的是熟人区,这是一个遥远而更侮辱的朋友圈,当你离开这些人夹在了中间。请甩掉那些仇敌甚至不承认他们的话。简单地关闭,然后继续前进。

4. Find Your Voice

找到自己的声音

If you follow the three steps above, you’ll start to develop your true voice. Once you find your voice, writing becomes much easier. Rather than thinking of what to write, you begin to write in a stream-of-consciousness manner. You’re no longer searching for words, but for topics to lend your voice to. It’s a subtle difference, but it changes everything.

如果你按照上面的三个步骤,您将开始发展你的真实的声音。一旦你找到你的声音、写作就容易得多了。而不是想写些什么,你开始写以意识流的方式。你不再寻找单词,但是主题借给你的声音。这是一个细微的差异,但是它改变了一切。

5. Keep Writing

不断书写

If you want to be a writer, you have to keep writing. You can stress about all the imperfections, fears, and other details, but continue to write. When I started, I only wrote once, maybe twice, a week. My average over the last six months is four pages per day.

如果你想成为一个作家,你必须保持写作。你可以对所有缺陷的压力,恐惧,和其他细节恐惧,但继续写。当我开始时,我一个星期只写了一次,或者两次,。我在过去6个月平均每天四页。

6. Seriously… Write More

认真对待…写更多

Michael Jordan got good at basketball by playing. Rihanna got good at singing by singing. The only way you’ll ever become a better writer is by writing. Push yourself to continue writing. Even if nobody reads it, it’ll make your site look fuller by the time someone does. Nobody wants to hit a site that only has one blog and nothing else. A deep archive makes it look like you belong there. Keep writing.

迈克尔•乔丹擅长篮球, 通过练习打篮球。蕾哈娜擅长唱歌通过练习唱歌。你成为一个更好的作家的唯一途径是通过编写。强迫自己继续写作。即使没有人读它,它会让你的网站看起来更饱满。没有人愿意触及的网站,只有一个博客。深归档使它看起来像你属于那里。继续写。

7. The Devil Is in the Details

魔鬼在于细节

The hardest part about writing is formatting⁶. It’s not that it’s technically⁷ hard; HTML is a simple language to learn. You must be very detail-oriented, though. Learn SEO tactics to ensure maximum visibility of your blog. Pay attention to picture titles, captions⁸, file names, and tags. Ensure every page has a header, a picture, and links to other sections of your blog. Every detail counts, and it’ll keep people on your blog longer, which will continue to help your site.

最难的部分是写作格式。这并不是说技术上很难; 超文本标记语言是一个简单的语言学习。虽然你必须非常注意细节。学习搜索引擎优化策略来确保你的博客的能见度高。注意图片标题、题注、文件名称和标记。确保每个页面都有一个标题,图片,链接到你的博客的其他部分。每一个细节都很重要,它会让人们继续留在你的博客上,这将继续帮助你的网站。

Blogging looks simple on the surface–everyone has an opinion to share. The difference between James Altucher and Joe Schmo lies in the amount of effort put into it. If you’re not willing to dedicate the time and effort necessary to succeed, you’ll always be outshined by the thousands who are. Roll up your sleeves, get your quill⁹ out, and get to writing.

博客表面上看起来简单每个人都有着自己的看法分享。詹姆斯。阿尔托奇和乔施莫的区别在于投入的工作量。如果你不愿意花必要的时间和精力来成功,你永远是公司的数千人。卷起你的袖子,开始写作。
