Reached 500 USD total revenue

With the latest book sale I reached 500 USD revenue πŸ’°

I started from scratch (no contacts, no mailing list, no ads) and it took me almost 2 years πŸ‘΄

The revenue is a combination of the subscription service and the new book I am about to publish πŸ“š

    Congrats Antonio! Curious to hear about your story!

      Thanks!

      Well I started playing with soccer analytics in the end of 2016 so it's been a looong journey 😊

      Most of my initial traffic and subscribers came from a single reddit post (80/20 rule here!).
      I expanded on Twitter (big and active betting community) and Facebook (still need to figure out that πŸ˜…).
      Ran the service for free for all 2017/2018 season, that helped attract many initial customers.
      I started the subscription in Autumn 2018 and saw a huge growth at the beginning but it slowly faded as it's highly dependent on betting results. πŸ€”
      Halted completely in March when all football matches in Europe stopped. ⚽

      Lately I was forced to figure out ways to make the income more stable and I think that creating content will be the best way to go about it. Hence I started to write a book (sold 3 copies in pre-sale so far) and that made me cross the 500$ mark πŸ€‘

      That was my story so far! Hope it was interesting πŸ˜€

          Yes! Got my first subscriber after the start of the Bundesliga yesterday. Hope to get more as more leagues start in June.

          Usually the Summer was a quiet time for me, but looks like this year will be a lot of work!
