Big desk energy launch but lacking momentum

Big Desk Energy started as a spotify playlist aimed at being more focused + energized while working ... and I ended up building a web destination for it (https://www.bigdeskenergy.com).

the first week resulted in 10k pageviews and $1k in sales, but haven't seen much since. trying to determine the best growth strategies to boost traffic to the site.

    I'd look into doing collabs with artists. Reskin the desktop background for each artists and host it for them. Charge $500-$2000 per reskin + $50/month to change the songs on the playlist.

      Great point, selling it as a white label solution for mid-size artists makes a lot of sense.

    I like the website. I'm guessing the interface was inspired by PoolsideFM. I'm not sure about the purpose of driving users to the website though. The product is really just the playlist isn't it? This could be pushed through Apple Music, Spotify, SoundCloud etc. If I'm sat at my desk and want to listen I'm unlikely to go to the website and play pong.

    Hey Tyler, don't quite understand the product. Is it basically a web-based Windows 97? :)

    This is the most wtf I've had in a while... win 3.1 :shocked:.. I don't get what are you thinking.. Store is broken on purpose? I don't know how to digest what? why?....

    You probably should target people of the right age and context... 35-40? IT/technical?.. that are deep into music? and tshirts / art?
    You can probably find your targeting in fb age group + like a win3.1 group + like synt. software?...

    Cool website! Quite nostalgic haha.

    What do you think your user's main purpose is when going to your website? Do users end up coming back?

    Is your goal to build a relationship with your users?

    Best of luck! $1k in sales in one week is really impressive!
