PikaPost: blogging website
To be frank, this is where unknowingly my journey towards product management
started. Back in 2015, when I was a college student, I decided to develop a
blogging website. A website where like minded people like me can come and
create some articles and share their thoughts. With many refinements in the
name and the niche of the website, Pikapost was born. It was the first time
I was doing something like this. I learnt how to develop websites, how the
promotions, social media and ads work. If all these were not enough I learnt
the science behind SEO to get more hits on the website. To share the
delight, from getting around 100-200 views a day, I managed to gain around
30,000-50,000 views per month from the Pune city. This feat didn’t come that
easy. It took me 6 months to achieve such a success. Then came time for
collaborations with different brands, restaurants and a YouTube channel.
Which wasn’t that good but made few people laugh. And that’s what mattered
to me back then. The website also gained me some pocket money during my
college time and the YouTube channel got me an invitation to attend YouTube
party at Mumbai the next year.
This project is so important for me because I just didn’t wrote more
than 200 articles but also managed the backend, promotions and managed a
team of 10 writers.
