Total All-Time Sales Hit $110,424

The breakdown:

320 customers at $7 = $2,240
619 customers at $29 = $17,951
36 customers at $47 = $1,692
344 customers at $76 = $26,144
1 customer at $104 = $104
33 customers at $126 = $4,158
3 customers at $197 = $591
5 customers at $297 = $1,485

These are all people who bought annual $300/yr plan + an upsell (excel files and/or event tickets):

45 customers at $300 = $12,500
32 customers at $304 = $9,728
55 customers at $347 = $19,085
7 customers at $397 = $2,779
11 customers at $997 = $10,967

My focus now is to build to 200 customers paying $300/yr. This would mean $60k/yr in revenue which is the breakeven point for the magazine.

Our costs per issue:
$1,500/mo on design (fired old designer at $2k/mo and went to a faster designer who does better work)
$5k/mo on printing/shipping

We don't incur writing costs because most of the content is taken from our blog/podcast episodes.

    Hmmm, sounds kinda weird. In Pomp's interview published in May 2020 Nathan says the cost per magazine including production and shipping is around 4USD. He claims that magazine is profitable and profit margin is crazy high keeping in mind the price per issue is 29USD. And here we see that it's not even breakeven. Hmm... I wonder what is the truth and current situation.
