Impressive site design. On what basis did you decide this wasn't working out? Low virality, low engagement, SEO didn't work out....? The 'long explanation' of why you got burned out would be a very interesting post.

Exactly. Within 60 seconds I can have screenshotted another site whose template might be vaguely close in structure to that I'm thinking of, delete their text and write in my own. No way you can get anywhere close to that kind of speed with

I tried this streak method, and I had a bad shoulder for a couple days meaning I had to break my streak. And the problem with the streak is that once you break it, you no longer have an unbroken streak to motivate you to return to the habit

Anyone know how they drove so much traffic toward their bundle? Did they have partners that took a revenue share?
