How to promote my non-profit edtech platform?

1•rohansrma•1h ago

I built placeprep.app and added good learning contents covering ai inference engineering, context engineering, system designs and others but it's not showing up much. I have growing users but it's not growing as faster as I thought. I can't invest money at this point. Do you have any idea on how to grow organically, so that more peeps can join?

already doing and getting traffic but not as expected.

I looked at the site, looks largely AI generated, is that the case?

you mean ui wise? If so, then it's not. but yes, AI is used a lot to keep things aligned.

I mean content wise, it has the tell tale signs and I find it very unlikely you wrote that much yourself - and by proxy - audited it for correctness, completeness, and coherence.

A good rule of thumb is "if you want human attention, put human effort into creation"

nopes, I didn't write all those myself. I audited them and kept only the things that are important from an engineer's perspective.

also, I used ai to rewrite what I had as raw content. (it's reworded completely by ai. and i reviewed that myself, it felt easy for readers to read.)

removing those ai signs is easy but I don't want to.

Then perhaps you have answered your own question, humans don't want to read Ai writing

If you actually care about helping others learn, you will change your course

I work at an edtech company (far from the content on this site) and I have to say the only real value in companies like this in an age of AI being able to spin up a platform in a few hours is human-written content. Otherwise why wouldn’t a person studying for one of these just ask Claude to write up a lesson plan?

Human generated content is quite literally the only thing left.
