How I got ~1800 new unique Visitors/100 new Users in 2 days.

About 3 weeks ago somebody on Indiehacker asked, what is a good place to do a blog post, talking to developer community. I advised to do on dev.to, but guy said, it's ugly looking site. And really, it's not the nicest page on earth.

Well. End of last week I did a really unmotivated post on dev.to, more like "hmmm... should do some post...." one (vs "oooh, i have a great thing to tell, let me post")

Post is just talking about a new feature, which is Online Resume Builder on my Full-Stack Developer Job Board ( https://fullstackjob.com/developer/resumes ). 5-6 phrases only and when I read over it ( enjoy ;-) ) I get shamed about myself...

But, I would not tell you about, if there is no success story coming out of it.

I got, as you can see from GA screenshot below, around 1800 new unique Visitors through this post. And... what makes me specially happy, over 100 User Registrations. About 20 started Resume Building, 80 Newsletter Subscribers and some Recruiters and User Registrations only.

Nothing paid. So i don't got rich yet :-) but it shows there is interest.

Ah, I cross posted the same content, just moved 2 phrases for obvious reason's on Medium and I got in the 2 days since I posted 2 clicks....

This does not proof, that Medium is bad, but that blog posts on the right place (related to the public, like dev's on dev.to) makes sense.
