Hit $500 in total revenue
by Dianna AllenFrom April to now, Budget Meal Planner has officially received over $500 in total revenue!
This has been from ebook sales, Patreon, and donations through Buy Me a Coffee. It's been exciting seeing the monthly numbers grow over the past few months. I'm hoping to reach that $1k total by the beginning of December.

Nice work! I would recommend changing 'blog' to 'tips' in your menu to make it more clear that the others are blog categories too. Just a thought. But absolutely great design! Are you using a specific site template? I'm currently building a blog in the mental wellness category.

Funny you mention this, I'm redoing the design/ux completely right now! A new version will go live very soon. And I'm not using a specific template :)

Have you considered operating WhatsApp or Telegram groups? A nutritionist friend of mine started offering restaurant meal-picking advice for subscribing clients over WhatsApp and has had pretty good success. She usually helps people short on food knowledge about what to order when they go out for dinner etc.

Interesting! I have not looked into this, or even heard of people offering services this way. Thank you for mentioning it :)

Awesome! I listened to your Quick Chat with Courtland, and it was a cool origin story. Is Reddit still your top source for subscribers?

Nah, not as of lately. I've been able to step back from marketing due to the spread of attention from other websites talking about BMP. I honestly have stopped trying to grow my email list at this point, and am instead focusing on creating better quality content.
I'm at a happy point with 3.6k email subscribers and I'm fine with that list growing slowly right now until I get monetization in place. Otherwise, I will need to pay for a higher tier to accommodate 5k+ subscribers, and if I don't have monetization but I continue marketing and my email list begins to grow like wildfire again, it will put my mindset in a stressed state.-

That makes sense. And I like the focus on content quality with the subscribers you have to make sure they stay super engaged and excited about BMP. I can also appreciate the stress of ballooning operating costs.
But I bet there are several paths to monetization that you are thinking through that are achievable with an email list of even 3.6K people, so the focus on content quality will only make that easier.

I honestly haven't done much. I've stepped back on marketing to focus on the content creation for now, since I'm preparing to offer membership plans soon.

Congrats Dianna for reaching that milestone! If you don’t mind to share, how significant Buy Me a Coffee is from the total revenue? I’m thinking on doing the same for carflag.info, but still not sure.
I’d really appreciate if you could share one or two things about it. Thanks a bunch! 🙏🏻

I would say BMAC is about 20% of the revenue, so about $100. It's a nice little addition bc then I can see people actually enjoy what I'm offering since they all leave nice comments about how it helps them :D I basically use it as a "tip" system. Will be introducing memberships hopefully this month as my main source of monetization.
