Die vollständige Geschichte
I started Blogging for Devs as a free newsletter teaching developers how to grow their blogs. It evolved into a paid community and course.
Building the Newsletter
I started by sharing blogging tips on Twitter and collecting emails. The newsletter grew to thousands of subscribers through consistent value.
Monetization
After building trust with free content, I launched a paid community at $99/year. The first launch made $15K. Later, I added a course.
The Strategy
Developer marketing is unique. I focused on practical, technical content that developers actually wanted to read.
- $1K MRR: ~2 months
- First launch: $15K
- Total revenue: $50K+ within first year
