Crossposting between personal and product blogs

Hey everyone,

I was thinking recently about starting a blog for my Product, but at the same time, I want to revive my personal blog as well. Do you think it's a good idea to cross-post between them? Maybe not all posts are suitable for this, but I generally want to share my knowledge about design and data viz which happens to be theme of my product as well.

I'll be interested in hearing your opinions about this ✌

    I think it is a good idea. I actually run 3 blogs - My personal one (https://devan.codes), my SaaS marketing blog (https://blog.hrpartner.io), and my SaaS development blog (https://workplace.hrpartner.io).

    I try to make the 3 inter-relate to each other. For example, if I launch a new feature for my Saas, I will get my marketing team to put a sales pitch and 'sell' the feature on our marketing blog with a list of benefits etc. On our development blog, I will announce the new feature, and have a 'how to' type article on getting it up and running (more technical). On my personal blog, I will usually talk about the back story in developing the feature, and perhaps the story of how I came up with the solution. I try and link my personal blog especially to my development one, and the dev one to the marketing one.

      This is almost what I'm trying to achieve. Thanks for the insight ✌

    Yeah, that seems fine.

    I don't see why not. Just make sure to mark one of your sources as canonical so you don't harm your SEO (https://yoast.com/rel-canonical/)
