Nice Article. Although I think now it is just your beginning. I would continue posting in your terms, as a marketing manager I have seen that it takes about 2,5-3,5 years when the channel finally starts picking up properly. And on your 5th year it will already be organic.
I am not saying that you have to continue, but you are just in the stage where things can grow significantly ;)
Anyways best of luck with your new adventures.
