I do monthly "retrospectives" where I share my revenue and reflect on what I accomplished the previous month.
I like this!
Thanks :)
That's cool! I like it!!
Why is total revenue smaller than mrr in your posts? I would have thought total Revenue would be cumulative for the year/lifetime and so include all MRR to date?
It's the total revenue for that month, not overall.
edit: I was thinking about it and that's a fair point. I'll change that verbiage going forward. Thanks!
I think I understand what you meant, was total income the amount you took home after expenses? Sub'd btw
No, it's the gross revenue for that month. So before taxes.
I just started to post on Medium under Likispaces. I'm a french speaker so it might be a bit rough. i'm writing about my story, what it takes to create a new communication tool and the venture itself... Liki a communication tool that use widgets over text to offer a visually engaging experience that enhance productivity and creativity. (not launched yet)

Just started my site earlier this past week and will be posting my first blog soon about my journey towards being a Solopreneur: https://cyrusweaver.com
Hey, congrats, smart decision to start with audience, welcome to the club tho
Do you have a person who told you to start from communities?
Thanks! I joined indie hackers a few weeks ago and saw other folks doing that and really enjoyed reading their stories. So that’s where I got the idea from.
Hmm, pretty interesting way to start, best of luck
Did you read Steve Blank, Rob Fitzpatrick books or YCombinator videos?
Thanks! I haven't read those yet. I'll have to check them out
I was collecting some content on my way, no advertising, its just yc videos and personal notes, if you want, I can send you a few
Cool. Feel free to post links on this thread in case others would want them too
Hardly recommend this as a start with audience - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT4Ig2uqjTc&t=1200s

I just rebuilt my website and want to grow my blog and audience. These comments inspired me to actually start some regular retro of my blog progress. There is no write-up about it yet, but I will definitely write a post by the end of this month and share it(with the following here and in my newsletters).

I've been writing since 2015 on my personal blog. I set a goal each year to increase the number of posts per year. I also hope to get over 1.2 million views on my blog this year. A blog can be slow to grow but it's neat to see I get more views a month than I had the entire year in 2015.

hi @ManojRanaweera, would you be interested to cover our story for arouund?
What do you mean?
I mean, like writing a small blog post about arouund on your blog. I can write it and send it to you if you prefer. Let me know. :)
Sadly I don't write about others. If you subscribe to https://skilledup.life and add free talent to your team to build your tech startup, then I can write about you and how you use us.
Same goes with https://techcelerate.ventures if you join us as you are a UK tech startup.

If you can send me an email with more details, we might be able to work something out. :)
We only really did one post so far, but we decided to post about stuff that was interesting to us as indiehackers trying to build a company, rather than content marketing, so it's going to become a bit more like a journey blog 😊 https://squeaky.ai/blog

hi @westonwalker, would you be interested to cover our story for arouund?
I've been focusing on how people learn to code. Started with just writing posts then started to branch out into more experimental ways to teach. Looking for an approach that has product / market fit - https://garden.bradwoods.io
Your garden pages have an interesting, minimalist design (although from the perspective of this 'reader', the free-form nature of the site seems to be both an advantage and a disadvantage).
Did you create your garden using a generally-available tool, or did you create it through custom code?
I'm interested to hear more details on what you think is an advantage & disadvantage. The site is all custom code.
The main garden page gives a good overview of the bounds and extent of the included content as well as an indication of the 'density of coverage' as well as gaps in coverage of the various content areas (aided by a couple reads of the about page key).
But you do lose that context once you drill down into any of the detail pages - you have to hit a back link to regain that high-level view, which is a disadvantage compared with a more conventional doc approach having a TOC in the left margin and a larger content area to the right (you do have that on a micro level in the content pages, but you have lost the macro context when you're there and have to back out in order to regain it).
Another disadvantage: in the main view you don't know (unless I've missed something) whether clicking on a link will deliver to you a paragraph or two, or several pages worth of info that is further subdivided into a hierarchy of subtopics, or even in the extreme, a whole site full of a detailed learning progression with tutorials and examples up the wazoo.
But I'm glad that I stumbled across your site and I expect that it will factor into my thinking as I go on to develop my own instructional materials in the future,
This is great feedback! Thank you for taking the time.
Because the content can get complex, I wanted to balance this out with the design. Making the notes as simple as possible. The larger table of contents is an interesting idea. I haven't thought about communicating the size of notes on the landing page either. It would come at a big cost considering how complex that page already is.
Yes! Here's mine. https://www.outseta.com/blog
