Built by one maker, for makers who are tired of guessing.

In 2020 I was new to Twitter, watching people I admired make money online. I had one skill, freelancing, and it wasn't working. Then I noticed people posting Gumroad payouts for ebooks and courses, so I built my first product: a small ebook on investing mindset. I picked the topic by guessing. It made zero sales, and I quit for months, convinced I didn't have what everyone else had: an audience, a community, support.

The zero sales weren't the problem. The belief was. What turned it around was unglamorous: a year of cold DMs, and one of them led to helping run a community for free. That put me in rooms with people actually building things. I spent what I saved on learning instead of stuff, and in 2023 I joined a newsletter cohort and grew my list past 10,000 subscribers.

Then I hit a wall. Where I live, I couldn't accept payments the way my platform needed, so a “successful” newsletter ran at a loss. I got through it with workarounds and people willing to vouch for me. The lesson I keep coming back to: there is always an obstacle, and knowledge and people are what get you past it. Neither is something you're born with.

Since then I've built small AI products, shared them with my list, and helped over 1,300 people. I recently shipped my first real piece of software, AI Offer Crafter, and when I went to launch it I ran into the same problem from the other side. I had an audience. Most makers don't. They submit a product somewhere, collect a few upvotes and a badge, and have no way of knowing if anyone saw it. It's the same silence I felt in 2020, in a different costume.

So I built Traffiklist. I have 18,000+ people who read what I send them, and instead of keeping that for my own launches, I put it to work for other makers, with the proof attached. Every week, featured products get a guaranteed spot in front of that audience, and your dashboard shows the exact number of clicks you got, by source.

Stop guessing. The proof is already there. I just wanted to build the place that shows it to you.
