Background

I run a tech blog to share knowledge and build my personal brand. It stood at 400K views in November 2024 and needed a deliberate push to grow.

Constraints

  • Balancing with a full-time job (limited writing time)
  • A crowded tech-blog market
  • Sustaining a consistent publishing cadence

Approach

Focused on high-demand topics such as AI and cloud, identified through trend analysis. Applied thorough SEO (titles, tags, structure) and aimed for one high-quality article per day.

Implementation

Used analytics to study what made articles popular and fed it back into the writing. Prioritized reader relationships through comment responses and feedback.

Results

  • 1.74M views in 2025 alone (1,745,233 PV)
  • 1,555 likes and 1,088 stocks earned in 2025
  • 102 articles published in 2025 (252 total)
  • Top article 'Cline vs Roo Code vs CoolCline' earned 164 likes; 'Deep Research' exceeded 250K views

Learnings

Consistency matters most in technical writing. Combining timely coverage of trends with genuinely deep explanations is what earns reader trust.
