It's just a content site about the keto diet. It runs in the background and earns money from Google AdSense and Amazon Affiliate links, the latter of which are dwindling because I haven't had time to fix dead product links. It's a plain static site, so it doesn't need any server maintenance or software upgrades.

Not totally passive because I actively tried to grow it for three months when I had to cancel my main business due to COVID.[0]

If you're interested in the details, I write retrospectives every month sharing stats and thinking through strategy.[1]
