3 weeks ago I launched relahconvert.com — a free browser-based image converter with 37 tools and 25 languages.
Here's the honest numbers so far:
1,090 Google impressions
11 real clicks
Position 76 average
2 external backlinks (both from dev.to)
109 pages indexed out of 843
Not viral. Not impressive. But moving in the right direction.
What I thought would happen:
Launch, get traffic, make money.
What actually happened:
Built 37 tools. Realized no one can find you without backlinks. Realized backlinks require effort. Realized SEO takes months not days.
What I learned:
Building is the easy part. Distribution is the real work.
Everyone talks about what they built. Nobody talks about the 3 weeks after launch when Google doesn't care you exist yet.
I'm documenting the whole journey — the tools, the SEO, the slow grind of getting traffic from zero.
If you're building something right now and wondering why nothing is happening yet — you're not alone.
