Congrats on your recent 100 posts
Which makes me bring the question, is it worth it?
$3.500 / 100 posts = $35 / post (per month) = $420 / post (per year)
I understand it's a marathon though and that value compounds. When you had 10 posts you were probably not making $350 and when you have 1000 posts you will probably be making a lot more than $35.000.
I'd love to see the associated human costs and how many hours/week you are spending here, doing what and how that has evolved from the beginning (more automation, new challenges, etc).
- csallen 10y agoI do some time tracking in my monthly blog post (scroll down to the chart), so you can actually see exactly how much time I'm spending. Is the revenue so far worth the time I put into it? No, not by itself. But everything that I've done so far is really a launching pad for more, bigger, and better things, so I see it as an investment. At the very least, I've reached a point where I can survive on my own and work on my own projects indefinitely. Beyond that, I've built up an audience and community that I love, and I've got lots of plans in the works to try and deliver even more value to them + generate revenue in a more scalable way.
- franciscop 10y agoI totally didn't mean it in a bad way, I'm an open-source person ( https://github.com/franciscop/ https://github.com/franciscop/ ) and do it because I love it, both writing code, learning and the community. I'm curious because I'm thinking on how to get some money out of it to be able to keep doing what I love. I'll read more about it, thanks!
