I have a couple of months before I start pushing hard on promotion. So I'm playing the slow and steady card: building domain authority before the product is ready to sell.

Why SEO and not X or YouTube?

I'm a father of two working full-time. My spare hours are limited, and I need them to compound. Social platforms reward relentless engagement: posting daily, replying to threads, being in everyone's replies. That works if you can sustain it, but for me it would produce zero lasting value for this project.

A well-ranked article, on the other hand, keeps working while I'm changing diapers.

I've done this before. I ran a profitable elearning platform built entirely on inbound marketing. Plant seeds strategically, and sooner or later you have a body of ranked pages pulling traffic (and AI mentions) that pays off big time.

So I started writing.

My first article covers the XYZ framework, a structured way to present accomplishments so they're actually understandable outside your team. It's a topic with plenty of existing posts, but I knew I could add my own angle and optimize for both SEO and AEO.

But here's what surprised me: writing one detailed article unlocked an entire week of content.

A single long-form piece gave me talking points I can excerpt and share across platforms: a tweet here, a LinkedIn snippet there, a Reddit comment that actually adds value instead of fishing for clicks.

That feels much better than staring at an empty text box trying to come up with something to say.

The funny part? I'm doing all of this with the help of some SKILL.md files, prompt templates designed for people like me who know marketing but don't have the time to process everything by hand.

Wanna know more about that? I'll cover it in a future update.
