I'm mostly interested in building a relationship with the community, so that we can continue to raise awareness of security concerns and help people understand their consequences by providing easily digestible information through various mediums. One of which is our blog posts.
I've noticed that, for the most part, all of the new visitors to the Paragon Initiative website/blog come from the same sources, which tells me that I'm not succeeding. When the subject of expanding or diversifying our audience comes up, I draw a blank. Actually finding networking opportunities in the hay stack of semi-interested people? I'm totally lost.
Some ideas I've seen suggested online:
* Guest blogging - but I don't know which blogs would be worth approaching or whose audience or primary author is interested in application security topics
* Social media - I tend to err on the side of silence; am I making a mistake?
* Seminars/webinars - I haven't ruled this out.
* Give a way a free eBook - Started a book on PHP 7 development. I haven't finished much more than the table of contents and introduction.
Questions for HN:
1. Is PHP and web application security too niche for guest blogging opportunities?
2. What are some blogs or websites that would be a good place to start?
3. Should I be doing something else instead?
4. Does anyone think I'm completely wasting my time?
