Hey Waylon,

Great topic:

My current process

  • Every morning I publish my draft git to my master, which will deploy my site.
  • Check my site if everything is looking good
  • Then i'll make a social message in notepad
  • Push this message with my social image to Twitter
  • Make my Facebook post and boost for 1 euro!
  • Post to LinkedIn
  • Send out my Mailing list
  • Publish to Hashnode (Currently manually, because fixing the issues took too long)
  • Publish to Dev.to (Currently manually, because fixing the issues took too long)

That's about it, it's my every morning routine!

That is quite the Morning routine! This seems like a lot of work. Props to you for putting full effort in!

Are you getting good engagement from fully posting to Your site, DEV, and Hashnode?

Hey yeah,

My own site slowed down a bit on comments, Hashnode is pushing me to fully migrate to them, but I really don't see the benefit (expect for them positioning you better).
And dev.to actually has the most engagement in comments and views.

Looks like a lot, but takes me 10 minutes, good workflow and prep I think

I'm sure there is a rhythm to it that goes quickly.

I just added a hashnode subdomain to my domain. I will see where it goes. If I would have found it years ago I would have started with it and been happy, but now that I have built out my own site. I have come to enjoy the process of creating something for myself from scratch. Its really hard to avoid completely yak shaving and never posting, but I try to focus on the content first.

Got a similar process on my side. I always cross-post articles manually because otherwise, weird incompatibility issues pop-up here and there. That's why I created CodeWrite - a browser extension intended specifically for technical blogging (features Monaco editor and Prettier integrations for code snippets) with auto-filling and incompatibilities handling for Dev.to, Hashnode, and Medium. It's a paid product and is in the early-stages, but I think this might be helpful for a lot of bloggers.
