Driving traffic to digital gardens

Hey there! I’ve just started looking into the idea of building a digital garden and I fell in love with it.

I would use it to learn in public and share my experiences and ideas, and of course I’d be happy to have people read them and give feedback.

We’ve got SEO, but also organic traffic from social media. SEO is a long game, and I’m already pretty active on social media (LinkedIn, Bluesky), but I got tired of trying to make the algorithm happy so that my post can show on people feeds and it requires so much effort and time.

I like the Digital Garden philosophy because it’s not about consistency and constantly trying to stay relevant, like it would be on social media…
