My newsletter is about to earn over $10K in annual revenue.

Here's how I did w/ a full-time job:

• Sponsorships – 4%

— Sam DeBrule (@SamDeBrule) August 23, 2021

All year, I've been publishing these monthly income reports and retrospectives.

July's is the first one where I out-earned my former salary as a tech lead/manager. Still working towards my 2021 goal of $10K in net profit, but right now I'm on track 🙂https://t.co/0CuGv3tnRm

— Monica Lent (@monicalent) August 2, 2021

$8,336/month = 6 figures per year

That's the goal. Now deconstruct it:

– 84 sales of a $99 product
– 4 clients for a $2250 service

Now determine lever-moving tasks:

– 3 posts/day to build audience
– 10 DMs to those that engage
– 1 product promotion per day

Systemize that^

Been working on a financial model to figure out what it takes to build a million-dollar indie/creator business.

Highly recommend everyone do something like this.

It goes to show I am WAAAY off and need to course correct.

My first income report as a creator/entrepreneur. How did the first half of 2021 go compared to 2020?

Good news: revenue is up 40% on my biz!

Bad(ish) news: there's no salary to fall back on

So total revenue is down 45% – that's ok & here are 4 lessons about going solo 🧵
