I wrote my first analyze based blog post!

Hi everyone,

Last year I wrote 5 blog posts that miserably failed, because I didn't analyze what others and go directly into writing without a strategy.

My mistakes were:

  • I should have respected others that listed in the first page, and spare some time to analyze what they did
  • I felt rush because I haven't wrote since then, that was a rookie mistake
  • I should have laid out some principles that I must apply to whole blog posts.
  • I should have created some funnels and strategy to analyze which blog post attracts what kind of people, and compute my conversion ratio then target my next blog posts on that audience.

Anyways I didn't do any one of that, and that was the result,

Like don't get me wrong, I put a tremendous effort into the blog posts that I wrote, I tried my best to simplify technical tutorials as much as possible, and I still believe they're really informative, but they were lacking of a strategy, in the end if the blog post didn't add any value to the project, I'm considering it as a failure.

Anyway, this time I took a different approach:

I've picked 5 best-performing blog posts on my target keyword and analyzed them, gained so many valuable information and applied it into my latest blog post.

Honestly I don't know if this post is going to be successful in terms of SEO and ranking, but at least this time I did something that I didn't have earlier.

What do you think about overall blog post? What would you have done differently or any advice, tips for your developer friend :)!

feedbacks are highly appreciated, have a nice rest of the day :')
