The Lab 🧪

This week, the Obsidian Starter Kit broke a new record: 100 sales! 🎉

I sold 44 copies in the last 30 days: $700. I also dared writing about the project on the Obsidian subreddit. I wasn’t too confident because I didn’t want to get banned (I really enjoy discovering the posts over there). Luckily I wasn’t slapped because of it, and it apparently caught the attention of Eleanor Konik, the community manager behind the Obsidian Roundup newsletter. She was kind enough to mention the Obsidian Starter Kit in the latest edition.

Next to that, I sold 14 copies of the PKM Library during the last 30 days, bringing in $275.

The PKM subreddit slowly approaches the 300 members mark. It’s not a numbers game, but compound growth does help with the sales, in addition to increasing the number of cool conversations I’m having ❤️

I thought about a new tiny experiment to launch: an Obsidian plugin to easily publish notes to Ghost and/or Medium. I’ve written a short design document, and will probably try to build that during a weekend… I will probably not monetize that one, but it will surely help me publish more easily :)

Cool. Apparently, I've made >3K on Medium.

I keep publishing new content, but a big chunk of the revenue comes from articles I wrote back in 2020. Referred members are also cool; I've actually got some MRR right there 😂 https://t.co/kfVN7EAMtD

12:38 AM - 7 Jun 2022

I’ve made ~$3.5K so far on Medium. While I was writing my tech articles back in 2020 I remember feeling bad because my articles were just being “ignored”. I almost gave up, thinking that it wasn’t worth all the effort. In retrospect, it just took some time for compound growth to kick in.

There’s an important delay/distance between the moment when you create something and the moment when the effects are really obvious.

My reach on Medium alone

I’ve almost reached 700K views. So, those “invisible” articles ended up getting the attention they deserved after all.
