I published 15 articles in 15 days, here’s my SEO experiment

I’m building QuietPulse, a small SaaS for monitoring cron jobs and other scheduled tasks.

Right now I have a working product, but basically no traction yet. So instead of tweaking the product forever, I decided to run a simple experiment:

publish 15 articles in 15 days and see if content can generate the first real traffic.

I’m not doing anything fancy.

My current distribution looks like this:

  • publish the original article on my own blog
  • republish on Dev.to and Hashnode
  • prepare posts for communities like Indie Hackers
  • try different angles around the same core problem: silent cron failures

Topics I’m covering:

  • why scheduled tasks stop running without anyone noticing
  • why Telegram alerts can be better than email for infrastructure notifications
  • how I’m using SQLite in production
  • how I’m approaching content distribution as a solo founder

Why I’m doing this:

  • I don’t have an audience
  • I don’t want to wait for “perfect SEO” before shipping content
  • I want to learn which message actually gets attention
  • I need signal, not just page views

What I’m watching:

  • which headlines get clicks
  • which platforms bring actual visitors
  • whether people care more about the technical side or the founder journey
  • whether content can lead to conversations, not just impressions

A few things I’ve already noticed:

  • republishing takes more time than I expected because every platform wants slightly different formatting
  • writing distribution-ready content is almost a separate job from building
  • it’s very easy to confuse “I published a lot” with “something is working”

I’m trying to stay honest about the result.
This is not “content marketing is amazing.”
It’s more like: I have no traction, so I’m forcing a real test instead of guessing.

If you were starting from zero today, how would you evaluate whether a content push like this is worth continuing?

Would you optimize for:

  1. volume
  2. better distribution
  3. sharper positioning
  4. founder-story posts instead of technical posts

Would love to hear how other solo founders approached this stage.
