I made an almost-full-time income off programming content in 2016 (through my Rails performance course at https://www.railsspeed.com).

I'm writing up a big blog about how I did it right now, but the gist is:

1. Treat blog posts like miniature products - opportunities to test, measure, learn.

2. Have a unique voice and viewpoint.

3. Write about a growing or mature field. (early to late majority)

4. Main distribution channels are email newsletter and social media.

5. Create an information product (book, course, videos, whatever) and convert newsletter signups into sales.



This is great site! i want to do the same concept but with

java + spring mvc and angular Question how did you market your site ?


Interested in that blog post, but you don't have your blog linked in your profile or anywhere.


GREAT product from a great guy!


Where will you publish it?
