Drain
by Taylor BrazeltonWell, the hustle is taking its impact. After a week of going strong with two posts a day(plus 8 to 10-hour full-time SE job). I am drained. I'm not super confident nor positive about continuing on with this product.
The product isn't going to breakeven. Here Is the costs breakdown:
$12.00 - Domain
$00.00 - Ghost.org trial
$46.71 - FB Ads
I have $15.00 more dedicated to FB ads for the father's day post. That'll bring my total spent around $73.71
As for revenue. We've made a total of $2.20 with a 1.25% conversion rate via amazon affiliate links. It may be a small amount, but it was very motivating and helped drive my interest in this space.
What I Have learned
- I created my first Ghost Blog
- Set up an amazon affiliate account
- Ran my first few FB Ad campaigns.
Doing so has given me a bigger amount of appreciation for the people who run sites such as apartmenttherapy.com and 9to5toys.com.
I plan on continuing to push through this rut I am in, but I have a big deadline at my 9to5 coming up. So, I haven't been able to put the time I wish I could into this site. Overall, I am happy with what I accomplished. Once the Ghost Trial runs out... that's when I plan on calling it quits. Till then, I wanted to make sure I posted here to record where my brain is currently idling.
