"If I were to connect raw traffic figures with sales
directly it would have equated with something around
~$25,000 in net revenue."
If success was as easy as writing content for HN we could all just skip to being millionaires.
- gk1 12y agoI think you're overestimating the likelihood of making it to the frontpage... And underestimating the work involved in writing good content.
- saddington 12y agoMy hope with all of my blog posts on the development blog is to create value for my readers... All the time. I hope others can learn from my journey... And if it gets a lot of attention then great! Otherwise, the small community that I have will do.
- benologist 12y agoIs "effort" the best metric to measure success with?
- gk1 12y agoI don't understand what you mean. What are you referring to?
- benologist 12y agoHN being hard to reach doesn't compensate for the 25x difference in value against their ideal customers. Reaching HN is a recipe - write, submit, and master getting 2 or 3 early upvotes. There's no unknown steps, there's no mystery, the best time of day to submit has been documented 100 times along with the words you should use and the topics you should write about. Reaching your ideal customers is much harder because you don't have meticulous instructions that read "just add labor".
