Failed project: The Daily Wordpress Reference[1]
I wanted to give an easy way for people to learn the intimidating WordPress API[2], bit by bit, every morning, in their email.
It failed because monetization was an afterthought. Even though it gathered a steady 1100 subscribers (daily emails) at the end (for about 6 months), I was unable to make a buck with ads (Amazon books related to wordpress).
Now I'm on my way for another failure with my online course on WordPress plugin development[3]. This one, I think I failed because I'm not a public figure in WP development so it's harder for people to trust me, and (related reason) I don't have much reach on social networks.
