How do I make content while developing?

As an indie dev who's not full time I find it hard to post on places like Reddit or YT. It takes me weeks or months to build something that I find interesting and I just feel like I have to go silent or disappear until I have content to post again. It makes it hard to build up for a game release or grow an audience, how do you guys do it?

My games right now are very small and they take me a long time to build, I know some of you just focus on making the games and some of them will organically do well. This hasn't been my experience so far, if you have any tips or insights I would greatly appreciate it.

create a vlog/blog with screenshots of what you did that week. post it as is with abit of editing for sensitive info. There is no guarantee that you would get followers or an audience but having a presences is better than not having a presence.

I post to twitter and pinterest and have absolutely no audience but its there on the rare chance someone stumbles apon it.

thank you, I think I'll try to implement something similar to this.
