Do you write a newsletter or a blog? Why not get a free backlink for every new article 😊

Hey indie hackers!

I've been writing a newsletter for almost a year now and between creating the content, crosspomotions & marketing it.. they are a lot of work 😅

So, inspired by the webrings of the past, I'm trying to make it a bit easier for other people with a similar audience as me (makers & startup people) to get some new eyeballs on their new articles.

Yes for free. No catch.

When you have a new article, all you have to do is add its url & a few words about what's in this article, in a form with 2 fields (that looks like below) and your article will get a backlink immediately + it gets listed in my website's timeline & potentially a link in my weekly newsletter too. ALL free.

ctrlaltcc new article

As I said, the site's visitors & newsletter readers are makers, developers & startup people, so content for them works best. But there's a wide variety of stuff they would be interested in, so don't be afraid to post it! And if you have any doubts just ask me :)

This is how the articles look on my site's timeline:

And in the newsletter:

And this is the site link for you to check it out: CtrlAlt.CC :)

      Thanks for checking it out Ric and for the kind words 😊

      It’s wordpress with elementor and custom php, jquery, css that I wrote. A bit of everything I guess!

      1. 2

        Wow!

        I know Wordpress, but your php, jquery, css skills are off the charts if you can make good 'ol WP do that!

        1. 1

          haha thank you! but it's more like a lot of googling -> stackoverflow -> piecing it all together :)

  7. 2

    Hey Daniela, for some reason I am having trouble submitting an article. Not sure what I am doing wrong but the side bar menu that is in your video does not show up for me.

    1. 2

      hey Sneha, sorry to hear that! what browser are you using for this? and could you please send me a dm with a screencap so I can try to troubleshoot it?

      also just making sure you are logging in first before trying to post, as after login you should be redirected to https://ctrlalt.cc/dash that should contain all the buttons

      let me know and sorry for the inconvenience!

      1. 2

        Okay got it! Thanks for the quick revert Daniela. It's working fine now.

        1. 1

          glad to get it sorted & to have your 1st articles up 🤩
