After playing with referrals, ads, and affiliates (of all conceivable kinds) with very limited success, it's starting to paint a less lucrative picture than I expected. Truth be told, while visitors on my site seem to genuinely enjoy the content - they simply don't seem to want to buy anything. 🤷♂️
While part of me is a little salty about that, another part is very grateful for all the doors this project has opened up. Thanks to Before Tax I've been connected with tons of successful entrepreneurs in the financial planning and tax space. They've given me ideas and insights I never would have gotten otherwise.
One big reason to be grateful for this project is how it's culminated into Excelkits.com. I'll be telling that story on the Excelkits product page: https://www.indiehackers.com/product/excelkits.
While I'm marking Before Tax as closed on Indie Hackers, I plan to keep working on it by keeping it up to date and adding features that make sense for other users of Excelkits. I still have fun working on Before Tax and it feels good knowing there's lots of people out there finding value in it. Besides it sends a nice stream of traffic to Excelkits 😜
