Joined the $3k a month club

Had my best month for revenue with $3,282.36! 💸

Really glad I made all those Gumroad products in September now!

There was a good start to November with two coding bootcamps sponsoring articles on No CS Degree- this brought in a big chunk of revenue early on.

November was already going well but Black Friday was a revelation!

After doing a dumb hipster "I'm raising my prices" thing last year which didn't materialize into anything, I went with the flow this year and made $2k from the sales.

I'm really glad I made a deals thread on my blog - I was thinking of making a whole new site. I realised though that boosting my personal blog was a better option compared to a site that would be dead after a week.

I can't be bothered doing the sums but probably 60% of Black Friday revenue came from affiliate revenue from Gumroad products and another 30% from my own content. I also got about 10% from newsletter ads revenue supporting other people's deals.

The Monetize Your Newsletter course did really well which is awesome and most importantly I got a great review!

I'm going to have to revisit the Revenue Report idea of summing up how founders make money. I priced this at $5 for the sale and it sold A LOT.

I don't know if I want to be tied to another newsletter so I might just do a bundle of stories and make one big ebook.
