If it is tech related post on hacker news and relevant subreddits.

If you can, build an email list so you can get repeated visitors.

read some SEO 101 stuff and try to write post which good titles and good searches per month (dont overdo it tho).

Seems sensible, thank you.
I don't understand what you mean with the email list, could you expand?

So I currently dont have an email list but the idea is you ask your readers to subscribe to your email newsletters by giving you their email (like you see on all kinds of blogs) then you email them when a new blog comes out, this way you can turn your one time blog visitor to a regular reader.

Kinda what I had in mind, thanks for the clarification.

Bonus tip: you can post link of your article on twitter tagging dev.to if they retweeted (which they do a lot) you will get good views and hopefully some twitter followers too.

There is a way to ask dev.to to tweet your post but I dont know how effectively it works.

I don't tweet for now. Maybe I'll consider this at some point. Thanks for the tip anyway!
