Commit to One Quality Post a Week for a Year

Commit to One Quality Post a Week for a Year is a content & youtube tactic for getting your first users: A consistent publishing cadence (the thread cites a daily-for-a-year writer like Flavio Copes; one post per week for a year is the realistic version) compounds into strong SEO, a large mailing list, and product launch leverage.

It's a strong fit for teams of almost any kind, and works especially well for Founders and devs willing to play the long content game. As a content & youtube play, plan for high effort and expect results to build gradually over time, all grounded in 1 linked primary source.
