Hook

Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
mistake, really silly mistake on my behalf. But I learned, I learned, um, I still say that this wasn't necessarily a necessary thing for me to do. This could have all been done inside of the native cloud app. But, anyway, $412.84, I'll take it. They sold a bunch of study guides, um, I say a bunch, but it was really like nine, I think, total products. Uh, they sold nine or 10 study guides, um, with some upgrades. They, they did do like some upsells, um, or email marketing upsells. Uh, where somebody actually did come back and upgrade the package, which was kind of cool. Um, Gumroad, I never even heard of Gumroad until we started this whole challenge. $0 in Gumroad. Don't know why, don't know how. I think it's something to do with, you know, the framework or the product style that this was, because I literally just copy-pasted everything from Etsy. And, um, yeah, it just didn't work. So we're taking that one off. We're going to, um, possibly reframe our position on, on what product we want to put in Gumroad later down the line. But I'm good not touching it. Uh, Fiverr, we ended up abandoning Fiverr. Uh, Fiverr in general just did not work for me. I don't know what it is about, what we were trying to, um, offer, but we couldn't rank high enough on the first page or, you know, SEO wise, it just wasn't working. So instead of me again, throwing marketing budget into these things, I just said, all right, fine, if it fails, we're just going to pull it and move on to the next thing. Um, so we pulled that one, completely abandoned it. Uh, Chrome extension. We did build a Chrome extension, which unfortunately, after we went live, I ended up getting a Chrome, like message, uh, that, uh, after they approved it, there was a licensing issue. I wish I would have known about it before. Um, mainly, I guess the licensing issue that there's like a $1500 licensing fee that we have to pick up. I'm not a developer, I don't know what the hell they were talking about. But it had to do with something about like security measures, um, because the app does access directly into somebody's Gmail, that it sends an unsubscribed notification via that email, that they, uh, that they have to, you know, pick up. I guess it's specifically really to the EU. I don't know, but as soon as I saw that $1500, I said, okay, this is supposed to be a free project. We're going to revisit this. I'm not paying $1500 for, uh, for a free project. So, yeah.
