Yep a Medium publication for visibility & we can write WIP success stories & all the product launches so if someone wants to write about their product they will get more customers which means more money💰as WIP has more than 700-800 active members right now. This will also help WIP itself.
Same & many links from Places To Post Your Startup & Which MarketPlace
The more the merrier. Although sometimes negative backlinks can ruin the SEO, you can't know for sure where your customers hang on. You just need that one customer who has a big following in the market that you are targeting.

I know Fuck Facebook but did you know Facebook has so many copies in Russian, Chinese & in many languages you don't even know exist. But no one ever catched up to Facebook because it adapted. So don't be a baby when someone copies you, be flattered. Let them copy, make sure they don't catch up with you. If they offer something better than you then obviously people will choose their product. Competition brings the best out of you. If Gumroad would have did it right then SendOwl or Paddle wouldn't have existed. But they are the same ideas. As Adil said its inevitable.
Not a direct answer to your question. But few days back I saw a video on Backlinko which I don't remember now but Brian Dean (founder of Backlinko) said write cold emails with some readymade format that he gave. So my advice is you watch his videos because all he talks about is SEO so that might help. Also, he gives some tips on how to contact all the website owners via Email with the same readymade format. I have only watched 3 of his videos but they were full content and very helpful. So maybe ask him too because he answers most of the questions on his youtube channel.
Take a look at Wes Bos's courses
He is the guy who knows how to market stuff
What he did was gave his 2 courses for free Mastering Markdown & JavaScript 30 in which he made awesome good looking websites & all the videos were professionally recorded
After that he started Paid Courses so first build an audience with Blogs or Books or Videos & then when you have 1K followers or subscribers then start Paid Courses
Unpopular opinion but here it goes. Idk why Streak is so much hyped. Its all in the mindset.
I joined Github & was consistently coding for getting those Green Marks on my profile even though some of my commits were pure crap 💩Eventually I lost it somehow because my internet was off & it was a great thing because I wasn't doing anything productive. I was just committing my code on Github for those Green Marks. Although, it got me many offers but it didn't feel right because I wasn't doing anything productive.
The streak should help you commit good stuff & not some garbage. I like @swizec's idea. @wimgz's thing won't work because as human nature goes people will wanna go up the streak so they will make everyone else go down. Lots of spammy thing which you Marc won't be able to control. Or you can assign 2 people to check on each other but what if someone goes off of WIP. Then again problem problem. Also, other than Swizec's idea anything else like "Fake Ship" or "StackOverflow style downvoting" would be a problem as people complete a lot of todos in a day.
Anyways guys & gals Streak is all in your mindset. Being on the top of leaderboard won't give you anything. So losing streak is not a bad thing to do. Believe it or not WIPs biggest strength is its community, not streak. Sorry had to say it someday.
Idk why everyone's obsessed with Pieter's #life streaks LOL😂
