> The learning here is that consumer apps require consistent marketing efforts to maintain site traffic.
Although I never had revenue through such an app, I observed the same - many successful indie hackers must constantly be visible and do marketing for their products to work. Something I don’t want to commit to. I much prefer the calm lifestyle of publishing books and courses because the platforms do the marketing for me.
Yes, marketing is a big part and takes effort. SEO is a viable approach which pays over a longer period of time but requires less oversight that the other intentional marketing campaigns.
I absolutely love the ideas of publishing courses and books. Want to create one but my priorities have been continuously changing for the past 2 months. Hopefully, July is the month to work on courses.

Good luck with your courses too! I’m curious what will happen to SEO as search engines implement these AI assisted results.
