  There are 3 ways I see it making more money:
  
  There's a monthly/yearly subscription implemented to get access to premium content and resources. It's something that I need to work on.
  
  Sponsors (newsletter/blog). I'll have to reach out to more companies willing to sponsor my content, but first impressions are less than 1,000 subs is too little for them.
  
  Affiliates (apart from Amazon, got affiliate links to Webflow, Carrd, Integromat, and Secret)
