How I got 200K pageviews by making a NanoStartup and now it's the most used page in visa list. Even though I don't make any revenue from it. I feel it's one of the best things I have done so far this year.

In January I made a conscious choice to build a coronavirus tracker. I was procrastinating on it for two weeks and finally built it at the beginning of February in 24 hrs. I thought it will be useful for visa list users who are travelling.
But what do you know it went viral everywhere and now is the top page on visalist. Now in hindsight I realise, if I hadn't decided to build a month back, even if I built it today, it would not have been so much used because, there are now tons of trackers.
Always try to build something useful even if doesn't make any revenue. I could have monetized the traffic which is 200k pageviews as of today but decided not to as I didn't want to profit from an epidemic.
Now everyone who used coronavirus tracker, know about Visa List and probably in future when they need visa, they will probably remember it and that's a big win.
So what I realised is don't try to build everything to make money, just build things which will be useful to others and you never know Man shrugging
Travel safe!
