I've been training to be a software engineer since I was young. Since February after I finished my dissertation i began working on Portfolio Hub which I intend on being a useful bit of software for investors in the near future. But I figured, no traffic, no customers... so i started my first blog posting 3 times per week. SEO started working for me last month and although I'm not getting a lot of clicks, my impressions are in the 100-200 range and rising. I can safely say SEO does work. It just takes patience and consistency. I am also using this medium account to repost my blog as its a lot easier to grow an audience on here then my website alone.
Once again. Consistency and patience is all you need. Make a plan, stick to it, and wait to see if results begin 😀
