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!

This newsletter is a very informative course on blogging from a more technical perspective. It's written in a way that is both highly detailed and easy to learn from, even as a beginner, which I really appreciate!

I've tried blogging a dozen times, sometimes with meager success. I wanted to try again, and saw this email course and signed up. As a developer, it made a lot of sense. Blogging for myself is one thing. Blogging for others involves a lot more, and with Monica's course, I've learned a lot about it.
