Today, I passed the 300 courses sold mark! This is incredible.

I haven't done any new marketing besides chatting on a few podcasts. I'm actively working on a new landing page and hope to launch very soon. Once I do that, I hope to write blog posts and generate some organic traffic.

The next big goal is $10,000 in revenue.

Yesterday, I passed the 200 courses sold mark! I had no idea this would happen. I now need to focus on promotion. The curve is angled down towards the bottom so I need to figure out how to prevent it from going flat.
A few things I'm planning on doing to avoid that:

  • going on a few podcasts to talk about product
  • writing up a post about launching the product
  • optimizing the landing page

Once I do all that, I plan to do more traditional marketing efforts like writing content and making videos around the course topic.

Sometime last night, I passed 100 courses sold! This is way more than I expected. I told myself:

  • 10 products would be great
  • 100 would be awesome
  • 100 would make me say, "Okay, this was a success!"

I've passed the 100 mark and it's been a little over 24 hours. I am beyond ecstatic.
