Oops! The link was there but my formatting is set up so it doesn't underline. Bug I need to fix.. thanks for the heads up

I'm confused how $900 in my first week isn't closer to sustainable? What would be?

That's certainly one way of looking at it. I calculate conversion rate based on the number of people that hit the course page. That's industry standard. My goal was to test how man…

No problem! Happy to answer any other questions.
