To get "hundreds of emails" (let's say 500), with a ~1% conversion rate, you need 50,000 page views. How long to get to that point with just 3 blog post when you start from nothing?
> If you are only talking to 10 people a month, and you close a deal with 10% of them, that's 1 new client a month.
If I follow the plan described in my post, I will be talking to ~30 people a months. But they are just developers spending time in meetups, not people actively looking for freelancers. So I won't get 10% of them as clients, maybe 1% or less...
Thanks for the detailed answer! Here are some comments to answer your questions:
> 2. A CDN, for super fast loading.
I just want my website to load fast from anywhere in the world. I especially want this since page load time impact SEO. Something like cloudflare.com which has a free plan.
> 5. And not expensive, less than $10 per month.
$10 per month excluding the domain name. I don't think that's unresonable for a simple static html website. As mentioned above there are some CDN that have a free tier.
Overall I'm trying to find the simplest way to host my static website online, and make sure it works well with search engine (ssl and fast to load). All of that for less than $10 per month.
