800 Subscribers & BrainPint is profitable

Hit 800 Subscribers after publishing my 27th issue.

Passed ~$400 in revenue (mostly affiliate + some coffee support). Most of it goes back into buying more products to support other creators.

Redid my landing page, swapping out a generic illustration for a custom, on-brand and relatable elephant.

Wrote something on revenue here:
