- Writing your ideas down and sharing them holds you more accountable for executing on them.<\/li>\n

At BAMF Media, I write down every process that solves a new technical problem whether sales or marketing.<\/p>\n
I put this process in a blog post or in a social media status.<\/p>\n
Then I hit publish.<\/p>\n
You’ll notice that almost every one of our blog posts on our site is geared towards technical growth hacking processes. That’s because\u00a0those are the problems I’m solving. Once you’ve created an audience for your work from consistent writing, then you have fans encouraging you to solve problems faster to create new content. It’s a bonus many don’t see.<\/p>\n
What does writing does specifically for founders?<\/em><\/p>\n
- \n
- Writing keeps your presence with of your team<\/li>\n
- Writing builds thought leadership<\/li>\n
- Writing attracts new customers<\/li>\n
- Writing attracts new hires<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
That’s why I also write about every new hire we make, every culture move we make, and every client we turn into a hero for their company. This makes our employees feel being a part BAMF Media is more than a job, but a journey and story worth telling. It gives them a reason to say with confidence, “I work at BAMF Media.”<\/p>\n
Why It’s Hard for Founders to Write<\/h2>\n
It’s the same reason it’s hard to play music, shoot video, or play sports.<\/p>\n
Skills take time to learn.<\/p>\n
That means practice.<\/p>\n
No one knows more about practice than founders. Often they need to practice with multiple startups before they get one right. Here’s the secret: the hard part isn’t practice – it’s consistency<\/a>.<\/p>\n
