I'm out.

Hey guys and girls,

I hope you're doing well!

I just wanted to get in touch real quick to let you know that I'll NOT be renewing my annual subscription this year, which runs out in a week from now, for the first time since 2016, I believe.

Ready to put this into action?

This is not a "I give up!" post! It is mainly because I have shifted my focus from affiliate marketing to building and marketing my own software products, which is what makes me happier. Building software is my passion, and it is something I am skilled at! For now, it simply doesn't make much sense for me to keep paying 300 bucks per year for a product that I barely use anymore.

However, I am pretty happy with what I have achieved on my journey here, especially with my dad blog at thattoydad.com - Though sales have decreased a lot in the past year. It sounds weird, but sometimes it feels as if the additional work I have put into the blog has even hurt its performance. TTD will stay alive, but at a different hoster.

The other BootCamp website I've been working on from autumn 2020 until sometime in spring this year hasn't performed at all, unfortunately. It never picked up ANY traction...

However, I had a good time here and learned a lot. Time to move on, though! Thanks to y'all!

Stay healthy,

chris
