Last month, I was really excited about monetizing Is It Keto through affiliate partnerships, but then I started signing up for them and realized that most keto companies with affiliate deals sell terrible products and services that I don’t want to recommend to my readers.
I accepted a review box from Diet-to-Go and found the product severely lacking, so I didn’t really want to write the review. There’s not much point in spending hours to write content centered around an affiliate link if the content candidly tells everyone they shouldn’t buy anything through the affiliate link. So the review looks fairly unpolished, but I didn’t want to spend hours prettying up a page that I think is ultimately fairly useless.
Edited and published a new article from my writer: pickles 🥒
Reorganized my Jinja templates into more organized folders because they’d gotten out of hand
Set up my dev environment so that I can use VS Code on my main desktop and still run the dev server in a remote VM
One of Zestful’s key differentiators is that it’s more liberally licensed, so clients can do whatever they want with results of the API
My competitors prohibit clients from storing results of the API (if you need it again, pay for another API call)
From talking to customers using other services, it seems like few of them realize they’re not allowed to do this, so I updated my landing page to highlight the difference.
Tweaked the landing page a little given my slightly improved CSS skills since originally publishing it

Reached out to a potential customer
