Remember the original intention of writing: find the fun of running a blog

This morning, I saw a netizen on Facebook Wayne Fu wrote an article “Blog traffic from search engines, There is no emotion﹍Find the motivation to run the website”, I was very moved after reading it.

Just like I have encouraged everyone to write blogs for many years, I often do this in Copywriting or [Building Personal Brand](https:/ /ibranding.today/) related courses mentioned the benefits of blogging, such as being able to record every detail of life, convey free thoughts, share and exchange knowledge, etc. As a blogger, I was not only lucky enough to meet friends from all over the world, but also got opportunities to publish books, write columns, or visit.

In the past few years, many people have come to me to ask me about blog management, or how to engage in search engine optimization (SEO) and other related issues… Although I do not object to everyone earning some advertising fees by writing blogs, or to help expose their own products and services, in fact, I hope that everyone can really like writing and be willing to interact and communicate with readers.

Writing a blog, if coupled with appropriate SEO operations, can indeed help expose and promote your personal brand, but writing itself relies on passion and accumulation. This process of input and output is not easy to achieve immediate results. Therefore, I agree with Wayne Fu that running a blog can get a lot of feedback, and it often does not lie in the income of the website itself.

Like “[Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist’s Guide to Prospering in an Age of Acceleration](https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010740893?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books Thomas Freeman, the author of &utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-201712), said, “Each blog post is like turning on a light bulb in the reader’s head, illuminating a certain issue, making the reader see the issue in a new light, or touching their heart and making them feel stronger or completely different. ”

We express our opinions through blogs and interact with readers. This is the most precious thing.

This also echoes what the famous writer Stephen King said in “[Stephen King Talks about Writing](https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010323698?utm_source=vista&utm_me dium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-201712)” mentioned in the book, “When you find that you are brilliant at something, you just do it (no matter what it is) until your fingers bleed or your eyes fall out. ; Even if no one is listening (or reading or watching), every attack is a gorgeous performance, because as the creator, you are happy, even ecstatic.”

In recent months, Teacher White Bear and I have promoted “[Content Hacker](https://www.contenthacker.today/search/ label/%E5%85%A7%E5%AE%B9%E9%A7%AD%E5%AE%A2?max-results=12)“’s concept and mentality actually wants to encourage everyone to use the power of content to optimize user experience, improve sales data and word-of-mouth connections, and then create a positive brand image and influence for enterprises. This is not only a further evolution of content marketing, but also a great mission for all practitioners in content-related industries.

I have been blogging for more than ten years. Instead of calculating how much revenue blogging has created for me? I am more aware of the fun and growth it brings me, which is endless and far-reaching. In the new year, let’s write a blog together!
