Is it true that you can't attract customers with a blog unless you're a strategist?? 20231125

This is 天風. I mentioned in a previous article that I would like to monetize this blog. I think one way to do that is through affiliate marketing . Below are some thoughts about the books I read about blogging affiliates.

Is it difficult to become an affiliate?

　 It's difficult to monetize through affiliate marketing. '' The blog owner has run several blogs in the past, but they didn't last long and he gave up. As for how long I've been doing it, it's been as short as 2 or 3 months, and as long as half a year, which is understandable, but I haven't had any experience monetizing my blog yet.

　However, blog owners are seriously thinking about monetization these days. That is a backwater formation. More specifically, I strongly felt that working like a salaryman was not suitable for being a blog owner . When this happened, monetizing my blog became one of the solutions, and I became keenly aware that I had to seriously study online business. My level of seriousness is different from before.

　This may be a shady motive, but when I looked at other affiliate introduction sites, I learned that those who have been with them for a long time are able to monetize at a high rate. Why can't many people make money from blogging? I think it's just a lack of patience .

　From my experience as a blog owner, the main reason why I couldn't continue blogging was that it was difficult to see results from blogging. A blog is not something that can attract customers overnight. It takes a long time to build up trust and become famous.

　And the blog owner is skeptical, but what about the next fact? I didn't know. On the affiliate introduction site I mentioned earlier, when you first start blogging, there are no people looking at your blog, but at some point, people suddenly start coming .

　Of course, people won't come to blogs that aren't interesting, but blogs that put some effort into their blogs seem to produce results. In order to do that, you have to continue for many years and wait for the time when that sudden rush of people will come. That's why the blog owner decided to seriously try monetizing his blog.

　Self-branding on blogs

　Now, to put it in an exaggerated way, this reference book made me realize that unless you're a strategist, you can't attract customers with a blog .

　First of all, I mentioned above that persistence is important, but other important things are ``Why is this article read by many people?'' or ``Why is this article not read by many people?'' You can improve your blogging skills by always trying to analyze cause and effect . You can't attract customers just by writing a blog. That requires a strategy.

　One of the strategies is whether you are promoting a product or a blog owner .

　If your purpose is to promote a product like the former, it seems that you will need advanced blogging skills. You will need to put in the effort to create a blog from the beginning to match the product you are promoting.

　If the purpose is to promote the blog owner like the latter, the concept of so-called self- branding is important. By producing yourself like a famous blogger, the blog owner's popularity will increase.

　If you are a blog owner, you don't have a particular product you want to sell. However, if there are people who can gain something based on the blog owner's knowledge , I would like to make some money along with it. However, the ideal is to earn a living through blogging. So, if you are a blog owner, you are marketing yourself to your readers.

The key to writing essays is dialogue with yourself and consideration for others by 天風

 This is 天風. Do you have any tips for writing? Today I would like to introduce some eye-opening ideas to answer such questions.

・Takuro Yamaguchi, “A book that will help you write smoothly just by solving problems,” Sogoho Publishing Co., Ltd., 2nd edition published in 2019

　THE SECRET TO WRITING IS TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOURSELF

　The feature of this book is that you can improve your writing skills while solving problems. First, as a major premise for solving the problem, we emphasize the proper use of frame questions and shovel questions .<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-2263870082236170" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

Frame questions are superficial, easy-to-answer questions　such as "What's your name?" or "What do you do for a living?" On the other hand, scoop questions are probing questions such as "What do you pay attention to when doing the job?" and "What did your care bring about?"

　We can create sentences by connecting the answers given to questions like these. In other words, this book points out that the key to writing is to ask yourself questions and have a dialogue with yourself .

　THE TRICK TO WRITING IS TO BE CONSIDERATE

　In my opinion, while it may be important to talk about one's inner self when writing, I think it is equally important to be considerate of others . If the memo is for you to read, you can write it in a way that is easy for you to understand. However, if your writing is for other people to read, it's not good to be self-centered. Writing that takes the reader into consideration is required.

　This may be the need to write sentences that are easy to understand for others to read, or the need to write sentences that emphasize compliance so that others do not feel uncomfortable. In addition, it is necessary to spend a considerable amount of time to read the text, so it is necessary to read the text that is beneficial, that is, the text is good value for money.

　Therefore, it is important not only to have a dialogue with yourself as advocated in this book, but also to have a dialogue with other people in your imagination or with the feed packs you actually receive from others. Is not it. In writing, not only IQ but also EQ is important. Above all, you will need to get used to the amount of writing

How to speak when it is difficult to hear what the other person is saying by 天風

 Hello. This is 天風.

Some people have a bad tongue when they talk, so it's hard to listen to them. There have been several times when I have found it difficult to understand what elderly people are saying, perhaps because of their dentures. Having a smooth tongue and making it difficult to understand what is being said is a disadvantage for both the speaker and the listener.

One suggestion I would like to make is to put more force into your tongue when speaking. If you are a good singer, you probably know that if you focus on the ``Throat'' when singing, you will be able to sing clearly. However, the issue here is not the throat, but the tongue. I think people who have difficulty hearing voices probably don't have the strength to use their tongue. Therefore, by putting pressure on your tongue and practicing your vocalizations, it will be easier for the other person to hear what you are saying. When singing, not only do you need to focus on your ``Throat,'' but you should also focus on your ``tongue,'' which will allow you to move to the next stage one step at a time. If you are having trouble getting your voice understood by others, why not try putting more effort into your throat and tongue?

How to enjoy prime factorization is to solve the code? by 天風

 This is 天風. Today I will be talking about prime factorization of extremely difficult mathematical puzzles that I am researching.

　As I have mentioned before, I am an amateur researcher. In other words, I do research as a hobby. my research interests include cryptography and economics . But economics is on vacation for a while. On the other hand, cryptography is very active. I am not the person who creates the codes, but the person who solves them . Of course, eventually I would like to use that knowledge to create a code that no one can break. Basically, any kind of encryption is possible. In particular, I am currently passionate about prime factorization.

　Prime factorization divides the product of prime numbers, which are either the number itself or a natural number that is divisible by 1, and derives which prime number is multiplied by which prime number. Specifically, 7 is a prime number. This is only divisible by 1 and 7 . Also, 13 is a prime number. This is also only divisible by 1 and 13. This means that 7 multiplied by 13, 7 x 13, can only be divided by 1, 7, or 13. When you look at this, it seems surprisingly easy, but when it comes to large digits, it becomes difficult to do anything.

　Here's the question. Which prime number is 5017219 multiplied by?

　You may need a computer to solve this. Taking advantage of this difficulty in factoring, it is also used as a code . This encryption is called RSA encryption . Currently, our lives are protected by encrypting Internet communications and financial institution PIN numbers. How long are the codes used in practice? It is also said to be 2 to the 2048th power, or approximately 10 to the 700th power. Our bank account pin numbers are protected by numbers like 10 followed by 700 zeros. This is completely impossible even with modern computers.

　However, it is said that it may be possible to crack this strong code using quantum computers, which have recently become a hot topic. I'll talk about that another time.

　That's why prime factorization is very difficult. This difficulty is also related to the pnp problem, which is the most difficult problem in mathematics (a short story: there is also a story that prime factorization is not NP-complete). Is there a way to efficiently perform prime factorization using modern computers? That is the author's research theme. Of course, it's not about knowing your bank PIN number. I don't have that kind of hacking ability. Just in case.

What is kilobytes and megabytes? The text is nice with a small data capacity. by 天風

This is 天風（Amakaze）. Computers require a way of thinking about memory in terms of data capacity. Up until now, there have been various digital media such as blogs, audio media, and images, but the mainstream these days is definitely video distribution. Videos contain a lot of information, and a picture is worth a thousand words, so you can get a lot of information at a glance. On the other hand, there are restrictions on data capacity, and a single video can be a huge amount of data, hundreds of megabytes. Even if the computer itself has terabytes (1 million times 1 megabyte), if you record and save many videos, the memory capacity will naturally decrease. However, if it is a text file containing only text, it can often only take a few kilobytes (1/1000 of a megabyte).

Here, let's review part-time jobs. 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes, 1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes, 1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes, 1 terabyte = 1024 gigabytes. By the way, the reason for 1024 instead of 1000 is that computers represent data using only binary numbers, 0 and 1. Therefore, it is easier for a computer to handle a data capacity that is some power of 2. Multiplying 2 to the 10th power, or 2 10 times, gives 1024. There is a famous question about how many times it would take to fold a 1mm piece of paper to cross Mt. Fuji, and the answer was 22 times. It might be interesting to calculate this yourself. The power of 2 is said to increase exponentially, and if you multiply it by 2 100 or 1000 times, it becomes an astronomical number. Regarding cryptography, which is the security of computers, this idea called "exponential" is now mainstream, and an exponential number of cipher digits has been realized.

Is it the result or the process? Become a man who can get viewership ratings. It is good to have a result first and a process. Shijuku Rewrite! by 天風

Hello. This is 天風 from Seito Medical School. This year's theme is "Process or Results." I think this is similar to the theme of genetics versus environment in biology. Process means the path to the result. It hurts when I pull out my nose hair with tweezers. The result is the score after the process. It was definitely better to cut it with nose hair scissors than to pull it out with tweezers. 120 points! !

・There is a well-known stereotype that Japan emphasizes the process, while Western countries emphasize the result .
・A man who has never made any effort since he was a boy.
・I desperately started studying, which I had never done before.
・It was the moment when I realized the importance of the process of effort.
・The result comes first, and the process All you need
is a numerical result.

I am obligated to study for three hours a day so that I do not slack off in my efforts. If you study 3 hours a day for a year, you will have a total of 1000 hours, which is enough to pass a decent qualification exam.

Now, the theme here is whether you would evaluate yourself if you failed this qualification exam. If you are evaluating something, you are focusing on the process. I wanted to get a doctorate in trains, but ended up getting a doctorate in dogs. Have a drink here. Wi. Even though I failed the exam, it is true that I studied and gained knowledge, so I can say that my level has improved significantly compared to when I did not study for the exam. If you emphasize the process, this kind of experience value will also be included in the evaluation.

On the other hand, if you focus on results, you only look at the fact that you failed the test. In the end, I decided that there was no point in studying for a year if I couldn't pass the exam I was aiming for. Especially if it's a job that you can't get without a qualification. I will be studying for another year. Ugh! ! I failed. It will be a lifelong shame to have to sit at desks in the same classroom as my juniors.

There has long been a well-known stereotype that Japan emphasizes the process and the West emphasizes the result. Personally, I have a premise of results first, and then evaluate what I did as a process. That means prioritizing results.

The blog owner has been a man who has never made any effort since he was a boy. More than anything, he now understands that in order to live advantageously in life, it is important to have the ability to build up through effort. However, from a certain point on, he began desperately trying to do something he had never done before. It all started when I watched the drama Dragon Sakura, but at the time, I mistakenly thought that I could go to the University of Tokyo if I studied hard enough to die.

Fortunately, I was not able to get into the University of Tokyo, but I continued to study hard even after entering university, and as I mentioned earlier, I was able to get into the habit of studying for three hours a day. I was able to successfully graduate from university, and that was the moment when the blog owner realized for the first time the greatness of his efforts. I remember being excited, thinking that if things could change so much after those few years of study, what would happen if I continued studying even after I became an adult?

It is better if there is a result first and a process as well, which means that the result is the most important thing above all else. There must have been multiple paths to reach that result. Since I am writing this article, I am blogging. There are currently about 100 articles, so it means that I have completed a certain number of articles in the process. However, the result is an increase in the number of viewers who view our blog, and after the result of viewers comes the process of 100 articles. In my previous life, four generations ago, my blog posting stalled around the 100th post. Don't be prejudicial to me.

I never say that the numbers are everything. Numbers are important, but it can also be said that the means used to obtain the numbers, in other words, whether the law is being followed and whether there is anything that makes someone feel uncomfortable, is also important. I think that's the conclusion. What do you think, guys. See you soon.

Special Lecture on Macroeconomics by 天風

 Hello. This is 天風. There is a formula: income - expenses = profit. In economics, it is common to think of income as production quantity x price. However, in the real economy, it is not always possible to sell the entire quantity produced, so it seems to be appropriate for the general formula for income to be sales quantity x price. If you could sell everything you produced, you would mass-produce Benzes, right? Therefore, in this case, if the sales quantity is Acheieve x(Ax) and the price is price(p), it becomes pAx. Regarding costs, the cost per unit is multiplied by the production volume, so production volume (x) x marginal cost (MC). So, if you become an enlightened monk who doesn't need profits, your profits will be zero. You can't imagine zero profit. If someone asks you to buy something without asking, you won't accept it. At least let me buy you a piece of candy. In the end, income - cost = profit is pAx - xMC = π. If profit is zero, pAx=xMC, and sales pAx and expenses xMC match. If the production quantity is 15 units, the sales quantity is 10 units, and the marginal cost is 5 dollars, then p=xMC/Ax, so p=(15×5)/10=7.5 dollars. In other words, in this case, if you set the price per unit to $7.50, you will not be in the black or in the red, and your sales and expenses will be the same, meaning your profit will be zero.

At this point, I'm going to go crazy, but in macroeconomics there is an idea called the quantity theory of money. The formula MV=PT is where M: money supply, P: prices, V: money circulation velocity, and T: real GDP. Here, the people who hit the nail on the head are sharp. If PT=MV, it can be reduced to the formula of income=cost. If p=P, T=Ax, M=x, V=MC, both equations will match. Furthermore, if we consider M: money stock M3, T: real GDP, P: CPI (consumer price index), and V: multiplier effect, the story becomes more and more extensive. Both equations pAx=xMC and MV=PT are also related to the IS-LM model of macroeconomics. From here, new ways of thinking will continue to emerge through macroeconomics and microeconomics.

To press one more point, the formula p = MC is famous in microeconomics, but if P (prices) = V (multiplier effect), then M (money supply) = T (real GDP). Once we get to this point, we can see that by matching the current money stock M3 of 1,500 trillion yen to real GDP of 550 trillion yen, we can realize an efficient economic environment suited to market principles.

As an aside, money stock = credit multiplier x monetary base.
Monetary base = “Bank of Japan notes issued” + “money in circulation” + “Bank of Japan current account deposits”.
that's all. See you soon.
