About a week back I started a discussion about trying to measure and map the IH Economy. There was some interest so I went and begun doing the analysis for the first part -- the product directory.
Having been inspired by the great marketplace analysis that @patrics and @jay did, I am pleased to say that I have completed the first part of the IH Economy analysis:
Feel free to share any feedback you have.
Thank you and I hope you find this helpful
Thanks for the shoutout ato,
I am curious to read more about this.
Nice. Reminds me a bit of a side project I worked on about a month ago. Definitely some interesting insights to gather from the listed products

This is really cool! I missed your post when you originally put it up. I'm planning on doing this, and adding other areas, on a quarterly basis.
Like you said there is definitely some interesting insights to find. My main objective with this analysis was to get a gauge of the median income I should be realistically aiming for with a side-project.
Thanks for this! As somebody trying to build my first products, I was particularly interested in the median and percentiles as a way of understanding what I can realistically aim for.
Thanks! Yeah I completely agree. One of the main reasons I did the analysis was to get a gauge on the median income I should be realistically aiming for with a side-project

Thanks! I completely agree. For example I don't include revenue figures for the products that are featured in the podcast but not in the product directory.
My thinking is that the IH sources can serve as a good survey to infer statistics about the online bootstrapped-maker population. What are your thoughts on this and how I can improve it moving forward?
