It's a couple weeks over one month and I've earned $471.
I believe this may be my first productocracy.
I've made sales and earned various ways before (I first read TMF in 2012), but I feel this is the first time where I felt I truly created something I knew people needed (and truly cared about helping people)... and, more importantly, my customers are engaging, sending me great reviews, and praise.
Before, my mindset was, admittedly, money-chasing oriented.
I feel as though the past 6 months I've grown so much in terms of having very little material wants (my money system number is so much lower), knowing my end goals with money: freedom (and what really makes me happy) vs. hedonic adaptation (which I definitely fell into before), and truly caring about helping people.
Now, I have a lot of business ideas because I see all the problems I can solve. Before hand, my ideas were only determined by the latest silver bullet.
In fact, I had an idea for another business so I instantly tested it. It made its first sale, $10, the day after I uploaded the sales letter. I ended up giving the customer the order, and refunding it. The reason why is because I realized that this would take time away from my main business that I should be focusing on. I could hear MJ's voice in the back of my head regarding Monogamy vs. Polygamy.
Side note: I actually had two ideas when first testing a month ago. The other was an adult site. Vanity metrics included getting upwards of 7,000 visitors a day. But I eventually chose the other business because I felt it was definitely more CENTS oriented... and I didn't really feel the adult site was something that I felt people would "yearn for me" should I leave the earth.
Anyways, other than that, my main focus is to grow this business. And specifically, to scale this. I'd like to share a weekly update to log the journey, and any lessons I've learned.
