   I improved the game and functionality over time. The game has always been above the fold, but the content was greatly revise this past year. I've been doing a lot of optimizations on the game, but nothing big. After all, it's limi

   I started a solitaire website 5+ years ago. When Covid hit, I ended up finally putting ads on it. Since then it's been growing steadily and about half a year back I made it my full-time gig. You can check out the game here: https:&#x2

   I'd loved to have implemented this for my chrismas themed solitaire: https://online-solitaire.com/?theme=christmas . Good job!

   Thanks . Shout-out to Greensock for making an awesome animation library. I've recently used their FLIP plugin ( https://greensock.com/docs/v3/Plugins/Flip/ ) to make a version of 2048: https:/&#

   I've created an online solitaire platform ( https://online-solitaire.com/ ) that's earning me $10k/m now. It started as a side-project 5 years ago, but I've recently gone full time on it. It actually start

   I'm a bit late to the game on this thread, but here goes. For the longest time I had a solitaire app for Mac that I ran as a side-hustle. A couple of years ago I programmed solitaire from scratch for the web. Fast-forward a few years a

   How did you market your app to the point that it has 1m+ downloads?

    Congrats with the side income . I've kind of thought about the moral of it myself. I ended up integrating Stripe to let people remove the ads. For a blog that might not make sense, but for a solitaire website where some people play an

    Damn man. Sounds nice . What website was it?

    I can't remember the specifics, but about 4 million games are played on the site each month.

    It's intentional. The first 5 games are ad-free. Most of the ad-revenue are from people who stick, so I kind of try to give people the best experience the first 5 games.

    I switched from Adsense to Freestar and have been very happy with them. I think you'll have to have a certain amount of volume to get signed with them, but it's difinitely another ballgame than Google Adsense.

    Thanks . Yes I have. Most solitaire games these days have an option of playing a fully random game or a winnable deal. The automatic deal when a user comes to the site is a winnable deal.

    Thanks. I'll make a note of it and take a look at it.

    Congrats with the site. I've only just had a glance at it, but I think there's a lot you can do. Make it HTTPS first of all, research all keywords that relate to sudoku, write a long article about it and have it on the main page.

    I started with a lot less ads, but have since then put more on. I don't like it either, but people really don't mind it that much it seems. I also have an option where people can pay to remove the ads. Basically no one uses it.

    I initially started with Google Adsense, but has later moved to Freestar. They basically connect you with 10+ ad networks (including Google Adsense) and then all the networks will compete for your ad space each time an ad is shown. In my ex

    It might sound dumb, but monetizing my site was the stepping stone to make it take off. I run a solitaire website called https://online-solitaire.com/ that ran for a few years without me earning any money from it. I kind of

    How do you make most of your money on visalist? Is it affiliates or ads? I have a solitaire website myself ( https://online-solitaire.com/ ) that has ads, but I haven’t tried out affiliate links yet.

    How does an NFT make you a recurring profit?

    How is the revenue distributed between ads, affiliates and sponsorships? Is it just normal YouTube ads?

    The website is 3-4 years old now I think. I implemented ads around 1.5 years ago. I really didn't think there was money in banner ads anymore before then actually. I sure was wrong!
