As most of you readers know, ZenHabits (ZH) has been extremely influential on my personal life. It has helped me grow in ways I neglected before. It has also allowed me to share my thoughts and ideas here at TMP. Well, over the last 9 months, ZH has also influenced my business.
Back in 2007-ish when I started following ZH, the site had many ads and lots of links. Though I think these things partially drew me in, it was all about the content. Since then, Leo has continued to minimalizing not just his content, but the structure and design of ZH. I am not sure the exact time, but in the last year or so, Leo had been offering one ad for one month on ZH sidebar. Recently, he eliminated it altogether. Unfortunately, I don’t sell thousands of eBooks or I would eliminate all advertising. What I have decided to do is implement his one ad idea.
One Ad. One Month.
There will now be just one ad from the beginning of the month until the last day of the month within the sidebar. My intent is 1) minimalize the design at TMP more than ever before, 2) unclutter the site with content-less material, and 3) earn some passive income.
I hope you all support this decision. I think it is a good balance of simplifying and business.
I will be testing this feature out and would love to hear your thoughts so please do comment either positively or negatively.
Side note…June will be prorated for the 1st advertiser.
