Chronl.com is a daily puzzle game where players put 6 history and pop culture events in the right time order. After finishing, players can open the Wikipedia pages for those events to learn more. Three weeks after launch, the game received a one-line mention in the ‘Around the Web’ section of The Hustle, a daily newsletter said to have more than 2.5 million subscribers.
The mention was near the very bottom of the email, and it was not submitted by the maker. In one day, that small brought 913 , 950 total visits, and 1,300 . It also added 16 new .
A large newsletter can still send meaningful traffic to a solo web project, even when the mention is tiny and placed low in the email.
