Three benefits of output from blogging
My name is Ito and I am an infrastructure engineer and a member of the web marketing team.
We decided to focus on marketing at Beyond, and
this blog is one of them.
It's been a little over a year since I started this blog, and now there are over 200 articles that are useful to everyone.
At our company, we not only operate the infrastructure team, but also the development team and the sales team, so
there are a lot of articles about the problems we face, and of course about development and sales.
Let's blog! !
, the reason we talked about this was because we wanted more people to know about our company, Beyond.
However, if that's all there is to it, some people may end up thinking that they're doing it ``only'' for the sake of the company, and that they're not
helping themselves.
So, I will write about ○○ that will benefit me by writing a blog.
power to organize
When I look at various sentences, I often come across sentences that are circular, difficult to understand, or in the end I don't understand what they are trying to say...
I often come across sentences that make me feel confused.
When writing a blog, all you have to do is think about one thing when it comes to the title.
If you don't write in a straight line to the title (or if you digress to other things),
the reader will say, ``I wanted to know about the title,'' and leave.
That means you have to concisely summarize what you want to convey.
- How much background is needed for this story?
- How deep do you dig? (What kind of people are you targeting?)
- How many points are there?
When you write a blog with these things in mind, you
will naturally be able to summarize various things concisely.
This ability to organize
will be very helpful at work, especially when reporting to your boss or giving presentations to customers.
power to investigate
In particular, our Beyond blog mainly writes about "infrastructure and development technology."
You can't do anything wrong when you present these techniques in public.
If you give out incorrect information...
the people who trusted this information and did what they did will end up in a bad situation, and people
will think, ``What the heck is this company?''
When you publish information on the Internet,
you can't imagine how far that information will travel.
This is the era when PPAP is liked by Justin Bieber. I don't know what will happen.
If you have this kind of thinking, you will be able to "understand the truth" about the information you give out.
When introducing a command, you can of course try it yourself, for example, use the man command to look up the command, or
look up the command on the internet.
Even if the article says, ``I made a mistake, but I followed up like this'',
was that follow-up the best way? Wasn't there a better way? You will (should) find out.
When you research something, what you find out becomes your strength.
ability to write sentences
I don't think I write very often just by working (although it depends on the job).
Even if you were suddenly asked to write a report, you wouldn't be able to.
I didn't usually do the things I've talked about so far, so
it took me a while to put it all together, and I ended up writing a lot of roundabout things.
This goes hand in hand with the ability to summarize, but writing a summary in your own words
also helps solidify that knowledge.
Also, I think that writing down what you're thinking rather than just thinking about it in your head
can help you come up with better ideas and gain a better outlook on the future, and that's the kind of power you have.
When you start writing something down, if you don't do it regularly, you
might find yourself saying, ``I don't even know what to write in the first place.''
summary
So, this article was written to reduce the barriers to writing a blog.
After all, when I'm working normally, all that time is taken up and I don't have time to write my blog! ! There are many things like that, but
if you think that you can give something back to your work by writing like this, you might feel a little more motivated to write.
We will be updating the Beyond Blog frequently, so please stay tuned.
