Hi IH! I recently had a bit of traffic from content marketing (~45k views). I was lucky enough that a few posts received substantial traffic from HackerNews and spread quickly from there.
Creating content was pretty hard, but I detailed the progress and showed how I wrote it (and the failures), analytics about the traffic, where it was tricky, and finally the tips and tricks I used to leverage to improve SEO, newsletter signups and more traffic.

P.S - Thanks @rosiesherry for helping promote my first content marketing when I was pretty down. It really helped my morale!
Sounds awesome! Will listen :D Pretty interested in content marketing right now :D
I'm also an engineer, albeit one for data LOL
Oh wow, amazing amount of views!
And so pleased I could be of service! 😊
PS - looks like an epic post, I need to set some time aside to read properly! (and thanks for the mention!)
