Accomplishments that we're proud of

We love presenting visuals with APL. And now, we're proud to have successfully implemented ISP for three premium programs, presenting a smooth transition of upsells that segues to Amazon to handle the transaction.

What we learned

How to successfully and creatively implement ISP! The creative aspect is writing up fresh upsell content that will spark users to buy a subscription of our premimum content.
