Wrote a guide that summarizes the science of building muscle: https://julian.com/learn/muscle/intro . It made a few thousand in Amazon referral fees after being at the top of HN, Product Hunt, and Designer News for 4 days. As these traffic spikes wear off, I expect it to continue at at least $1k/mo. To maximize referral fees, I use this clever service called A-fwd, which geo-redirects visitors to their appropriate Am…

I saw that HN post, it is a very impressive piece of work btw. It also seems like a good fit for the HN / entrepreneur space. Was this intentional? IE did you plan it this way before starting the guide, or was it a marketing plan you figured out after it was already done?
I chose the subject independent of the audience — despite knowing how to distribute to the tech audience.
I can't write something I'm not passionate about or don't want to learn myself.
But I was fortunate that this topic appeals to many in the tech space — or at least a scientific approach to this topic does. I am an engineer myself, so I'm naturally writing for a likeminded audience.
Ultimately, almost anything can hit the front page of HN. This is a smart, considerate, and curious crowd. Good content tends to make its way to the top regardless of the niche/market.

The reaction was very positive and encouraging. Between the opportunit…
