Old side project is getting 2k pageviews a month, what should I do with it?
just randomly checked on one of my old projects (lookup.design) and saw that while I let it lie around for a year, it picked up a decent amount of traffic and backlinks. The email list also grew to 1k members lol. (analytics: https://plausible.io/lookup.design?period=30d&source=Google)
Can you guys come up with any productive use for that traffic? I know it's not an insane amount of traffic, but from all of my projects this is the most and I feel kind of bad just letting it lie around do nothing.
On the other hand, it might just be enough that people are getting value out of my tool 🤷🏻♂️
Advertise your other projects until you figure it out 🤷♂️
Sell it on MicroAcquire. Use that cash to increase the growth of your other ventures.
Looks like you are not actively working on it and hence the size of the email list does not matter. When you start emailing them, the open rate & click-through rate would be much lower.
What I would suggest is that you sell the project to someone who finds value in your product & the audience you are targeting.
Rather than keeping it and not doing anything with it, you can make some money off it.
