Sadly this is happening to a lot more people than just me otherwise I would not have written about it.

About how to spam?

Lol, that's quite the jump you made there.

If you read the article, you'll find there are many other industries which (suddenly) have the same issue.

Oh man, if every business owner settled on what they made in the first month capitalism likely wouldn't even exist.

"Now unless you get more visibility"

What online business doesn't aim to grow going forward? I certainly wouldn't rely on the first month results for the rest of my life.

I have too weird an accent to get incredible podcast downloads, but the $1,000 goes to a reader of my site, not me.

Appreciate the feedback :)

Glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment!

Probably. I apologise. Just reading so many negative comments it's (slightly) frustrating.

Maybe 'profitable' should have been in quotes instead of startup.

I never tried to wow anyone with my final results, but rather show what could happen if you just take action :)

4 out of 5 yes.

The one that I didn't get permission for, I didn't share.

Great comment! I think that's a fair summary :)

Hey PP,

I am "this person".

My name carries no clout at all, unless it's (potentially) mentioned in the online marketing world.

I simply didn't want people to be able use the excuse of - "they already knew who you were" - to account for any sales.

I don't understand your second paragraph, sorry.

For month one, sure. But that's to be expected :)

How businesses work.

I have no idea. Please try it and let me know.

Happy to pay for your costs, Dan. Will be following your updates.

What?

Thanks for the comment.

This is the third and final update, so didn't really cover the time aspect as in-depth as I had in previous updates.

My aim was to show what you can do without spending money. Time is undoubtedly an expense, but you have to factor that into any online business.

Thanks @startupdiscuss

Would love to see someone else take those projects on as well.

Appreciate the comment :)

Yep, with permission from all of the authors :)

Are you a moderator here?

I see it has been removed from the homepage now but I can't seem to delete it to put in the right category.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks Willyyr!

I posted this in the wrong section (didn't see that Show HN has a different submit button).

Is there any way to delete this?

Finally created an account here, since I've been on the homepage a few times.

Thanks for the submission, Oscar!
