@nikkitaftw I'm especially honored that you think my newsletter is entertaining, Sara 😂 Appreciate the feedback!
@jvlob Thanks for your support Lobo! I'm grateful to have you in the community :)
I was hugely impressed with this email course. Even if you've done a bit of blogging before, it's well worth signing up and getting tips from Monica!
@mattcrail Thanks so much Matthew, that's really kind. I'm glad you found the course and tips worthwhile!
@lordofthelake Thanks so much Michele! It makes me super happy to hear that.
P.S. Remind me to tell you about the subject line capitalization A/B test I finally made 😁
Hey everyone!
I'm super excited to launch my first product on Product Hunt: Blogging for Devs.
Blogging helped my career *so much* as a developer and maker. (Last year it even helped me fund my transition to building my own products full-time.)
In the meantime, a lot of my friends in tech started asking me for advice about SEO, growing their email lists, and writing resonant articles.
What I realized is that lots of developers — whether individual contributors, makers, managers, or founders — could benefit massively from blogging...
If only the tools and techniques were tailored for them (instead of the typical "marketing" angle).
That's why I started Blogging for Devs as a free email course and weekly newsletter.
It was just meant to be my "pandemic side project".
But I was totally blown away when over 1,250 people signed up in the first two weeks 🙀
It's been growing mostly by word-of-mouth since then.
Besides the free 7-day email course, the project has expanded into a weekly newsletter, a blog with interviews and original articles, plus a growing community of devs who blog. The subscribers are super creative, driven, and already publishing amazing articles.
I'm really excited to be on Product Hunt today!
I'll be hanging out to answer any questions and hear your feedback and ideas. Thanks so much!
@monicalent congratulations on launch. I really like your newsletter and the community around it. Best of luck.
@monicalent Congrats on your launch Monica! I subscribed and already learned a lot! I really like that it's clear and straight to the point.
@weitzjan Thanks so much Jan! Yeah actually your most recent email asking about the subject line inspired me to finally run a test. I will reveal the results this week in the newsletter 😁
Great content, adds a ton of value, always pleasant to read! Blogging for Devs is one of the few newsletters I'm happy to see popping up in my emails. Congrats Monica and thank you!
@tcollart Wow Thomas, I really appreciate that! Thanks for sharing your feedback, wishing you success with your blog!
@swyx Thanks for your continued support, Shawn. It's my pleasure to learn from you on the reg!
Honestly, one of my favourite newsletters. I learned a ton already. Thank you so much Monica!
While not totally new to SEO, I liked this course and definitively learned a few useful things.
I also like the community Monica has built to discuss seo/marketing topics.
@sebastienlorber Thanks so much Sebastian! It's been great having you in the community.
Monica is thoughtful, helpful, caring and experienced. I'm not sure I can put into words how much I've benefited from her wisdom. This course is amazing - you won't regret it. Congrats on the launch @monicalent!
@irreverentmike1 Wow Mike, that is so kind of you. It makes me really glad to hear that you got something useful out of our chats. Hope to hear more about what you're up to lately sometime soon!
Fantastic newsletter. Every email is high quality and packed with useful info, I've got so many of them saved for reference!
Even though I've being blogging for a while, I still learned a lot from Monica's course. You don't see a lot of free email courses out there with high quality content for developers. I guarantee you'll learn a thing or two if you sign up. I learned a few handy tips about SEO that I plan to apply to my personal blog!
Beyond that, her writing style is unique. She knows how to weave in her own experiences and real-life examples in a way that makes the content approachable for all levels of folks. Highly recommend you sign up before she realizes this should be a paid course 😉
Love the landing page design Monica! You got me interested :). I have an important question though, do you track your email subscribers (like open rates, clicks, etc.)? I am more privacy oriented and I find this information is missing on the page.
@strzibnyj Hey Josef, thanks for the comment. I use ConvertKit so yes, those things are tracked automatically. AFAIK there's no way to opt out, sorry :(
A focused product that's intriguing, cerebral and yet entertaining, with the potential to get bloggers the attention they need. Thank you for sharing your hard work and diligent effort.
