Journey to Help 1 Million People Learn to Code

Howdy there everyone!
Like the title suggests, my goal is to help 1 million people learn how to code through a platform I'm currently developing called Clientside.dev.
I'm planning on being completely open about the tactics I use to promote my platform as well as any revenue that the platform generates.

Latest Stats:
Total Users: 0
Revenue: $0
Expenses: Countless hours of time spent heads down

TODO before next update on Wednesday:

  1. I haven't been promoting on social media at all even though I know that I should have started the moment I had the idea for this platform.
    In fact, the only "promotion" I've done in the last 1.5 months since I started this project is getting some swag for myself

Oh well, starting today is better than starting tomorrow.

I will be using the following daily content plan and tuning it over the next few months. Until then, I will be plowing each social media site with my content for any possible leads.
I already have a steady viewership on TikTok (~3k - 15k views per video) so I believe that it will be the main driver of traffic for the first bit of time while my other social media efforts catch up.

Daily Content Plan:

Write 1 Blog Post
Create 1 YouTube video (3-5 mins in length about the blog post topic.)
Create 1 TikTok (repurpose it to an Instagram short, Facebook Reel, and YouTube short)
Create an Instagram post & Pinterest Pin
Write 5 Tweets outlining main posts from a blog post or inspired by other creators on my Twitter feed

I'm testing out repurpose.io (not sponsored) to auto disperse my content to various social networks.
I may move to a single day where I focus on content creation but for now, this should do.

  1. Development
    Pricing page copy - right now clientside.dev/pricing isn't informative of the actual benefits that users will get and is plain old horrible. I originally created this page as a placeholder as the rest of the website was very much in need of work. I've already written up about 70% of the copy and have a Fiverr dev helping me build out the page using Framer.com.

I'm basing the contents of the pricing page off of Neil Patel's pricing page for Ubersuggest as I feel I have a lot more learning to do in terms of sales and copywriting myself.

  1. Video course uploads
    The platform will have a project-based video course to take someone from 0 to frontend developer. These materials are already fully filmed and ready to be uploaded to the site.
    I just need to actually set up the curriculum and put everything together on the site so that students can access and use the materials in a meaningful way.

Anyways, it feels like the MVP is almost ready and I'm very excited to see how this project evolves! I'll be posting an update every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so be sure to look out for them!
