[2021-12-20 09:20:24 PM] : revenue was about $13.5K, up from about $3700 last year
[2021-12-20 09:21:48 PM] : looks like i started the year with 1403 email subscribers and will be ending with around 2000…i’m currently at 1990
[2021-12-20 09:22:08 PM] : the big highlight of 2021 for me was the $7000 book launch i did in may
[2021-12-20 09:22:46 PM] : also put on an in-person workshop at rubyconf in november which AFAICT was a big hit
[2021-12-20 09:25:26 PM] : plans/goals/hopes for 2022 include:
• double revenue (so $27K)
• grow my podcast to 10K downloads/mo (current at around half that)
• put out a rails testing course to accompany my rails testing book, or at least release some modules of a rails testing course
• put on my own conference (already planned and committed with speakers lined up etc.)
[2021-12-20 09:25:37 PM] : that’s about it
[2021-12-20 09:56:17 PM] : thanks for sharing!
[2021-12-21 12:54:52 AM] : That’s awesome, something for me to aspire to :raised_hands: looks like this year you increased revenue by a 3.6 multiple. Any specific reason you don’t feel you could achieve the same (or better) in 2022?
[2021-12-21 08:04:34 AM] : thanks. yeah, it just feels a little unrealistic. that would be $48.6K…not clear how i would achieve that. it would be a nice surprise to find out i’m wrong about what’s possible though!
[2021-12-21 01:13:39 PM] : jasonswett I remember vaguely that you shared a $ goal for 2021 at some point. What was that again? And congrats on the more than threefold growth :tada:
[2021-12-21 01:15:06 PM] : thanks! i believe the goal for (2021) was $7500 (double 2021's revenue)
[2021-12-21 01:15:29 PM] : i figure if i shoot for doubling every year then that’s reasonably realistic yet still reasonably ambitious
[2021-12-21 01:20:22 PM] : Nice! So you almost made double of what you aimed for
[2021-12-21 01:22:19 PM] : yeah! totally crazy
