I was really looking forward to learning how the product was built, how the payment processor was set up so quickly, the tools used, and how he was able to build the product so fast.<p>Most of the post was actually about dealing with the uncertainties of launching a product before you're comfortable with it and being pleasantly surprised by the results.<p>There's very little information on the process of how Amir launched it in three hours except using paypal and buying a $35 theme from themeforest - I'd like to hear more about this in a feature post.
Looks pretty similar to the Four Hour Work Week muse model touted by Tim Ferris and co. Attractive product page (Wordpress theme), informational product (software templates), outsourced commerce pipeline (e-junkie). Only thing is that he didn't need to use paid ads to drive traffic, since he led with a blog post that led to subscriptions, which meant he already had a customer base. Cool stuff.
You seem to be referring to the web site as the "minimally viable product" not including the actual product that you're selling on the site.<p>You don't mention how long it took to actually build the templates that you're selling.<p>Three hours is still impressive and inspiring, but I imagine there was a lot more work leading up to that point.
How much time was spent working on the project afterwards though? I built an app "in a week" (<a href="http://oneweekapp.com/" rel="nofollow">http://oneweekapp.com/</a>) which went on to generate a decent passive income for me, but since then I've spent far far more than a week on it.<p>I'd be really curious to know more details, specifically on the payment end (doesn't that take more than 3 hours by itself to set up?).
You have an error on your link building website:<p><i>We never buy links or use links farms. We find relevant, diverse links and build them nauturally.</i><p>nauturally -> naturally
what plugin are you using to handle ejunkie requests inside of wordpress? does ejunkie manage sales through paypal and google checkout? do they provide good tracking?<p>I am curious how viable ejunkie + wordpress are as a basic and simple ecommerce platform
Are you still growing the product and company, and yes, as shazow says, sounds like you put a lot more than 3 hours into it... Don't take this the wrong way but are you baiting us because your traffic to Keynotopia is falling?
