Here's the best advice we discovered for starting an educational blog:

#1: Pete Codes, founder of Pete Codes:

We chatted with with Pete, founder of Pete Codes ($1.2K/month). In our interview, Pete says:

Additionally:

Deliver what people want in whatever platform you are on. So instead of being lazy and just sending out a link to your blog article, add a few quotes from it to get people interested.

Further:
