I’m very late this month with the report. But I want to write it before the end of August.

Not much has happened last month. I kept freelancing, and missed my target of launching another product by the end of the month. I spent half of July traveling and this didn’t help either.

On the positive side, I think I see a clear path forward, and it’s not about building another SaaS. I’ve already started working on it and paused everything else.

Data Freelance

Paused for now.

Data Internships

Paused too.

xTopics

Nothing new here.

Soccrbets

Paused, not sure it will restart with the new season. For now it’s not worth it.

Freelancing

Still doing it. I am keeping the number of projects low for now, because again, I want to keep some time free to pursue side projects. I am going to write more about this (including revenue and projects I work on) in my TG channel.

The cashflow

Time to look at the income for this month (without freelancing).

Item Income/Expense
Amazon book sales + $69.15
Gumroad book sales + $47.01
Amazon Ads - $10.65
Appliku - $10.00
Hetzner - $6.65
X Premium - $9.34
Total +$79.52

Reinvested sales money in ads for my Stoic quotes book. For now, it’s not paying off, I spend more than I earn. But I will adjust the campaigns a bit in the future, and I’m confident they will get better.

I’m focusing 100% on publishing going forward. Building a product hasn’t brought any revenue, and I’m sitting on a few books published in 2020 that are still making money today. It’s time to double down on this.
