That's a bit snarky no? considering you don't put in labor costs and time costs it's a bit ingenuous to say you built a profitable business. At a "profit" of $22 a day you could not pay your rent and food. Your customer acquisition cost at this stage is much higher than what the customer pays you.
I agree. But here's what I think would have gotten your point of "take action" across much better. At the end be honest about ROI and projections.
This is a cold calling marketing campaign you had to do to get your sales. If at the end you had actionable advice on improving conversion rate of cold calling campaigns with numbers to back it up(not anecdotal evidence) that would be very useful.
My suggestion is to track SpokenGrowth.com over a period of 3 months now that you've handed it off to someone who might not have your marketing skills. Do another post 3 months later that either proves you can make a viable business if you "just take action" or shows how hard it can be and maybe do a lessons learnt post.
I'm all for hustling to market your product or your skills. Good luck on SpokenGrowth.com
As a self-funding concern they don't work that way for long. If you have seed capital or another line of income, sure.
If the point is that you put 16 days of sweat equity in to make $22 a day and trending upward of passive income every day after, that would be impressive. Summarizing that you turned $100 into $450 over the course of sixteen days just sounds like a self-funding hobby. This is not the sort of thing that multiplies your cash 4.5 times every few weeks regardless of input amount. This only scales with more contact and a lot of selling.
What really impressed me were the insights into this space. Getting the initial contact by offering free help up front is an interesting angle. Figuring out that most bloggers aren't interested in really expanding their audiences in a condensed version was a surprise. I'd readily have read through a full article on either of those. The numbers summarized up front almost turned me off the rest of the article altogether.
The techniques of hosting and publishing web content and setting up email are a couple decades old hat to me. Email marketing isn't especially interesting anymore either. The concepts for the business are interesting. The insights into the customers for the final concept are even more interesting. The small amount of money made on the initial experiment proves no angel investors were bled dry to start it rolling, but leading with that just didn't do it any favors with me.
