“Say what you’re going to say, say it, say what you said.”

Why should you even start a blog?

• Maybe you want to use it to get a better job
• Maybe you want to document your learning journey
• Maybe just want to share your knowledge

I’m currently a Senior Developer Advocate for MongoDB. I got this job because of the content that I’ve created online. Creating written, audio, or video content adds to your resume. It will open more doors for you than you could even imagine.

In this video, I’m going to guide you through the process of creating your first blog article. I’m going to talk about blogging from a developer’s perspective, but all of the information and tips will work with any topic or niche. So even if you’re not a developer, keep watching.

One of the best ways, as a developer, to get eyes on your article is by using Hashnode, which happens to be the sponsor of this video.
