I was hugely impressed with this email course. Even if you've done a bit of blogging before, it's well worth signing up and getting tips from Monica!

Hey everyone! I'm super excited to launch my first product on Product Hunt: Blogging for Devs. Blogging helped my career *so much* as a developer and maker. (Last year it even helped me fund my transition to building my own products full-time.) In the meantime, a lot of my friends in tech started asking me for advice about SEO, growing their email lists, and writing resonant articles. What I realized is that lots of developers — whether individual contributors, makers, managers, or founders — could benefit massively from blogging... If only the tools and techniques were tailored for them (instead of the typical "marketing" angle). That's why I started Blogging for Devs as a free email course and weekly newsletter. It was just meant to be my "pandemic side project". But I was totally blown away when over 1,250 people signed up in the first two weeks 🙀 It's been growing mostly by word-of-mouth since then. Besides the free 7-day email course, the project has expanded into a weekly newsletter, a blog with interviews and original articles, plus a growing community of devs who blog. The subscribers are super creative, driven, and already publishing amazing articles. I'm really excited to be on Product Hunt today! I'll be hanging out to answer any questions and hear your feedback and ideas. Thanks so much!

A focused product that's intriguing, cerebral and yet entertaining, with the potential to get bloggers the attention they need. Thank you for sharing your hard work and diligent effort.

Love the landing page design Monica! You got me interested :). I have an important question though, do you track your email subscribers (like open rates, clicks, etc.)? I am more privacy oriented and I find this information is missing on the page.

This is a really great email course with super actionable tips on how to get better at blogging. I'm a _very_ happy subscriber, I've learned a ton and I'm excited to see what @monicalent is up to next :)

I am not a dev but can totally see the value @monicalent. I think every web and app dev should know how her/his work impacts SEO and overall online marketing. It will make them a better dev.

Really great email course to learn a lot from! It's inspiring and ultimately convinced me to move my blog posts into my own hands. Cheers!

i joined the original B4D cohort and saw Monica bootstrap her own course to 1k people in 2 weeks - dogfooding in the realest, most skin-in-the-game way! much respect and even as an experienced blogger i learned a lot. thank you for sharing this.

Amazing newsletter! I have been following for a while and it has helped me immensely Not only is the newsletter super helpful, it's also super entertaining Amazing job @monicalent 10/10

Congrats on the launch @monicalent! I was one of the sign-ups when you launched the course and albeit not being a dev, thoroughly enjoyed the series and your writing! You deserve the hype! :)

While not totally new to SEO, I liked this course and definitively learned a few useful things. I also like the community Monica has built to discuss seo/marketing topics.

Monica is thoughtful, helpful, caring and experienced. I'm not sure I can put into words how much I've benefited from her wisdom. This course is amazing - you won't regret it. Congrats on the launch @monicalent!

I've been blogging for a long time on software engineering. Even so, I really liked this course. Monica really dug herself into the weeds on not just how to get started, but also on how to grow the audience of your blog, depending on what you're after (e.g. standing out for a certain technology). I picked up a bunch of useful tools and it's great to see this launch on PH. I recommend it!

Hey Monica, I can only echo the great comments you've already received. Your newsletter is great and honestly one of the only newsletters that I've engaged with - your writing style and content is always enjoyable and useful. Good luck with the project!

Great newsletter. Like seriously, I read a lot of them between building. This is way up there. It’s one thing to be jammed full of tips. It’s another to have a writing style that is warm, succinct and engaging. You get both with Monica’s content. (Also, the link building post was epic. Thank you).

Even though I've being blogging for a while, I still learned a lot from Monica's course. You don't see a lot of free email courses out there with high quality content for developers. I guarantee you'll learn a thing or two if you sign up. I learned a few handy tips about SEO that I plan to apply to my personal blog! Beyond that, her writing style is unique. She knows how to weave in her own experiences and real-life examples in a way that makes the content approachable for all levels of folks. Highly recommend you sign up before she realizes this should be a paid course 😉

"Blogging for Devs" is one of the few newsletters that I actually want to read in my inbox. The topics are highly interesting and the quality of the content is great! Monica clearly puts a lot of effort into the emails.

This really is an amazing course. I actually never opt in to email courses, and when I do I usually never read them. But I think this course resonates with so many people is because it’s actually solving a real problem... when you’re a solo founder who spends most his time trying to design and create quality code, you kind of neglect marketing and have no idea how to even write an article. Monica also takes a personal interest in her readers, when I emailed her asking for help she replied and blew me away by how much time and effort i noticed she put into her reply. This is how you engage with an email list, hands down! Even if you’re not a dev, I think you can learn a lot about how Monica engages with her readers. Which is a really great skill to have if you’re trying to sell software.

Hey! Great project, just wondering, where do users usually write their blogs? Is it on a platform like medium or can they do it on your website?

Monica has a really great writing style that makes her newsletter great to read. It's one of the few newsletters I don't skip over when my inbox is full.
