I was looking for real-life examples of organic traffic sources that worked for you in particular: this means no paid options (ads, paid influencers, trade shows etc.), no general advice such as ASO, SEO, "have you tried marketing?" etc.
Thank you.
For instance: for a while Dribbble was a nice source of traffic and exposure for the game I'm working on. It still is.
The question is not which one to choose but why. Always start with "why".
Why should you even have a side project, what's your motivation?
When you have your "why" everything falls into place.
Whenever I'm presented with multiple options I always step back and ask myself this question. Say I'm at a car dealership and the sales rep. gives me 10 options. It's easy to get lost in the details but if I remind myself why I want a car in the first place, the choice is usually crystal clear.
Good to know SEO still works.
Any tools you use in particular?
I use Webflow to host those sites but honestly that doesn't matter. Main thing is structuring your html to be semantically correct, adding relevant meta descriptions and title tags, writing good content and bring consistent.
