Let me start by saying. September was a slow month for Maker Threads.
You’ll soon learn why…
First, let’s see how the past 30 days stacked app against August.
Aug
Revenue: $400
Website sessions: 377
Twitter followers: 16
Sep
Revenue: $208
Website sessions: 1,021
Twitter followers 54 (70 total)
Although both traffic and followers grew comfortably, revenue was down by half.
What caused this?
I intentionally let it happen. Hear me out.
I recently shared an article about my 2 year journey to finding product/market fit.
When I’d finally generated my first dollar in revenue, Maker Threads ended up doing $400 in the same month.
Following this run-rate, you’d imagine that September would have also been promising.
Well, to be transparent, I was completely burnt out.
After my 2 year journey, I finally decided to take some days off.
Honestly, I took more than a few days off.
I wanted to recharge and reward myself.
Milestones
Despite my time off, I still managed to launch a new series of no-code tees throughout the month.
My launch wasn’t anything spectacular, but most of this months revenue was generated through this.
As I move into October, I’m excited to start working on some collaborations with makers.
