Very informative and genuine response, thanks from heart

my focus has changed so I will be posting on a schedule to take advantage of "peak times"

curious about those peak times, When do you exactly post if i may ask ?

I don't know if you currently have a job or what stage you are in your career

I'm still learning :)

Use Twitter and really put effort into growing there,

twitter is a bit weird for me but i know its where the devs lives so i will start tweeting once i write a couple good posts

People have gone from nothing to mid 5 figures in less than 6 months doing this.

Well that just impressive! do you know anybody who's active on the internet ? Would like to check them out

I might have "over cooked" this response

Definitely not at all, Thanks again for putting the time onto this

Here is an old analysis of the times (third table at the bottom) that get the most reactions. It needs updating but that is 250,000 live articles on DEV up to about 6 months ago (and yes I did download every single one of them so I have over 10GB of article markdown sat in a database 🤣)!

Twitter is a strange place but once you "get it" it really is just spewing your thoughts on what you are learning out and sharing useful tips and tricks (plus some of your personality).

If you want a prime example of someone who has done exactly what I said: twitter.com/codingyuri

She has a unique style but she threw everything she had at Twitter and content creation for 6 months while learning. Check her join date and then check out what jobs she currently does, dev advocate, web3 editor at hashnode. I wouldn't set my expectations quite that high but certainly worth following that path and taking ideas from her.

I think she is the single best example, but there are plenty of others!
