Shameless plug: I run a newsletter that teaches developers about blogging and SEO.

You can sign up for a 7-day challenge to publish one excellent, SEO-optimized blog post:

(Oh, and if I need to qualify myself, I grew traffic on one of my side projects (a content website) to over 100k per month primarily via SEO)

In terms of sources for SEO information and just getting started, I'd check out Brian Dean's guide (I haven't read through it thoroughly myself, but he's very known in the SEO world):

Another useful way of looking at this is to see the factors Google actually use to rank your content:

The Ahrefs blog (a tool for doing keyword research and competitor analysis) is also chock full of resources:

SEO changes all the time, I'd also recommend plugging into some communities or following SEO professionals on Twitter. Barry Schwartz is a great example of this:

These are just a few things off the top of my head.
