# 5 Twitter Threads to teach you about Technical Blogging

Technical writing or blogging is a developer's journey to share their knowledge and wisdom with many other developers seeking it. As a blogger, I struggled to find the right track and motivation to continue doing it.

## So, yet another article on blogging?

That's right. I've created [a few resources](https://blog.greenroots.info/series/blogging-tips-and-tricks) guiding some aspects of technical writing. This one has a special purpose, though! I've been sharing lots of cool tips and ideas about blogging on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/tapasadhikary) as threads as well. But, I found a couple of downsides to doing it:

* These threads are not so persistent. Yeah, we can bookmark them and use a bot to save them somewhere, but nothing like preserving our content like our own! Hence, creating this article by collecting all those threads in one place.
    
* I created these threads a while back, and they got some reach but not enough. I am too lazy to retweet them multiple times to inform people about their existence and importance. So, I hope this article reaches more people, and they find the threads helpful. Hence sharing is the whole motto!
    
* I'm unsure about the ownership of the content on Twitter. Unlike blog articles, there is no `canonical link` concept of finding the original vs duplicates. Bringing the threads to an article will not solve that problem, but it will give me a sense of ownership.
    

Now that you know why this article exists, let me introduce you to five threads that will help you with Technical writing/blogging.

### 1\. 🧵 Content Ideas

This thread focuses on the approaches you can take to find topics for your blog. Many writers stumble upon a sudden situation where they suffer to find ideas to write(or create any content). This situation is also known as `Writer's Block`.

Go over this thread to find those points that work for me every time I face the situation.

### 2\. 🧵 Writing Process

After you figure out the content to write, the next obvious step is `Writing` it. As everyone is unique, the process they use to create content is unique too. However, there are a few commonalities.

Please read this thread to know the process that helped me over the years and how it evolved.

### 3\. 🧵 Content Quality

Once you start creating content using the writing process, you must focus on content quality. A few basic things are:

* Are they informative?
    
* Are they fun to read?
    
* Are they structured well?
    
* Are those error-free?
    
* Many more!
    

This thread gives you enough tools and thoughts to improve the content's quality. Please give it a read.

### 4\. 🧵 Traffic to Blog

Recently my blog completed `1.5 million` page views! That's something I had dreamed about but never thought would happen. As it happened, I could figure out some factors that worked in my favour.

This thread talks about how to get traffic to your blog and what are the right ways to achieve it.

### 5\. 🧵 Career as a Blogger

The final one(unless I add more later and edit this article in the future!) is about the `career`. Can we build a career as technical writers? Yes, we can, but it needs strategies to work on it.

Here is a thread that gives you insights about building a career as a technology blogger.
