WOW thats a lot. I dont think I could do that to developers 😂
Comparing it to a SaaS product update, it's much, much less than what you think. I only update a non-community-based digital product (like a standalone workshop or bundle) mayyyybe once a quarter, so I let people know what I've added and how it'd benefit them since people have lifetime access + all updates.
I email so often for other things because I run an education community, so it's already a more interactive model, and the community often feeds into my high-ticket offers, so I need to keep them engaged so they stay invested/informed. :)
Really, it's just about knowing your audience. Do they want to just use the product and know the basics of what's new? Or do they want to feel like they're a part of something bigger? Different audiences require a different cadence.
wowowowow! Awesome, thank you so much for the long answer :D
I think I see your vision - definitely bigger than what I thought of in the beginning, but also much cooler. Excited to get started now 👀
I'm so delighted it got you excited to build!
PS There's nothing wrong with starting simple because starting is the most important part. Complexity can come later as you consider how you can expand it (with services, products, affiliate links, etc.).
You don't need to figure out all the pieces of the puzzle before you put the edges together.
I basically just got a rough direction and then created outlines for a few posts I thought would work well. We then picked a few ideas, it was roughly 200-300 usd per post. The focus wasnt really on SEO though, mostly just getting people to read about their tech
I would approach writers directly on platforms where you can find similar content. I started writing on dev.to and have been approached by a few startups to write (paid) content for them, seems to work for them.
Sweet! How much does it cost per a blog post, is there a pay range? How does it work if I do my self the SEO research and want the writer to focus on those keywords?

Dev related content or something else?
No, but mostly semi tech related things, how tos etc

I build our own orchestrator for sliplane.io in Go using the moby sdk. I would not suggest that, instead use kubernetes, kamal, coolify or whatever and extend it if possible. Starting from scratch is rough :D
~50 servers on Hetzner, then some development stuff on DigitalOcean (they support nested virtualization). Sometimes AWS EC2 for freelancing jobs:)
Damn 23k is a lot. 500 is already so terrifying to me!
