Unless your time is worth less than $.01 / hr, this isn't profit :)

- al_james 16y agoYes, its amazing how many people confuse 'making a profit' with 'working for free and not losing money'.
- wardrox 16y agoI agree, $0.07 isn't stunning (it's only going to get me a half billionth of my jet), but to break even in such a short space of time I found interesting. Though could it not be considered profit in some form, as I'm working for free on the project? It's the site's profit, rather than my own?
- ryanwaggoner 16y agoI've always had lots of side projects, so I understand that line of thinking, believe me. And I didn't intend to be snarky, it's just that it's easy to go down a bad road where you convince yourself you're doing better financially on a project than you are because you fail to take your time into account. Imagine you were selling the site to someone else: they'd have to hire someone to do the work you've been doing, and that costs money.
- wardrox 16y agoI'm keeping track of my hours worked, so I have a rough idea of when it'll actually have properly paid for itself. I'm not kidding myself, don't worry :)
