    Awesome! A lot of lessons in here. 🔥 🔥🔥

    Main one for me is that fundamentals work: start small, take out risk, provide value to others.

      Any light you can shed on your sponsor(s) and how you promote them? It doesn't seem obvious from your page.

        EmailOctopus are promoted on the landing page, at the bottom of all the articles, the twitter threads and in the bi-weekly emails.

        It's usually something like, "I'd also like to thank EmailOctopus for sponsoring the site. They provide email marketing for a fraction of the price of MailChimp. From firsthand experience, I'd certainly recommend them."

        Works well cause I'm a big fan of their product myself :)

      Thank you Hannibal! And yeah, you're very right.

      SEO hmm. Write good quality content. All the basic stuff. And then get backlinks where I can haha! Currently rank best for "jeff johnson nike" which pulls in a bit of traffic! Quite a few long tail words, SEO takes time to kick in and accumulate backlinks but I'll get there.

      IH links are no follow. Product Hunt I think are follow. So launching there helped a bit.

      No idea about Pinterest unfortunately haha!

      Onwards and upwards to you to. How's life. What are you up to now?
