Mostly it's what is top of mind. Perhaps it's a concept I used recently, or had to explain to someone (like a team member), or an idea that I had a discussion about with someone. There's many such topics but I filter them down to those that might intrigue my core interest x audience, i.e. living a better life, or building businesses. **2. how do you decide what goes in blog & what goes in newsletter?** newsletter is just a collection of links. it includes a short more personal paragraph about what's happening in my life, almost like a continued narrative from the previous week. Or it introduces some additional context about the post I wrote that week. **3. do you keep track or metrics (users/pageviews, etc)?** Nope not really. i check once in a while and look at search console for interesting phrases for which my posts might be showing up. **4. how do you maintain the consistency?** Initially I had to write 25 times in 25 days to build a habit, then I created the newsletter to build accountability, and now it's a part of me. I can't imagine NOT writing on the weekends. Just like how I work during the week. **5. How do you do SEO for your blog?** I just do basic research on the topic I've decided to write upon and I try to align it to the search terms that already exist. Usually just a quick 5-10 min research at max. **6. what tools do you use to source/draft/review and publish the content?** I write in Apple notes, which is a plain text version of the post. I bring it to the Webflow CMS editor where I edit and format the post, add links or images. Then publish. **7. do you use any tools to design meta images, charts, tables etc, tools to check performance and SEO issues on the website?** I use Figma for meta or any other images. Mostly I let me words do the talking. I use images sparingly. I check google search console once in 1-2 weeks and GA in the same cadence. **8. I am asking these mostly to understand the complexity of your operation, also is there any who helps you out (with draft review, etc) or it is one man show?** One man show. I do this by myself, just the way I like it. --- Canonical page: https://www.preetamnath.com/blog/my-writing-setup When citing or referencing this content, please credit Preetam Nath and link to the canonical page above. ## About Preetam Nath Preetam Nath is an entrepreneur and indie software builder.
