Retrospective

My priorities regarding Fantasy Congress are changing. I'm thinking about discontinuing my retrospectives and trying a more "traditional" approach to blogging.

Growth for Fantasy Congress stalled in April and MRR dropped by roughly $50 from the previous month. It's not terribly surprising considering I didn't follow through on any of my plans for promotion. But with the school year coming to a close, I'm worried about my ability to bounce back.

March ended up being a bit of a bummer. I tentatively returned to promoting Fantasy Congress with limited results. And once again, it's not entirely clear if anything I did contributed to this month's meager growth.

I was hoping Fantasy Congress was in a place where it could grow by word of mouth alone. But this month made it clear that isn't the case.

Just when I thought this year couldn't compare to 2020, January showed up and said "hold my beer." Yet, with all the insanity, Fantasy Congress had it's best month ever. In one month, I've already made a third of my total revenue from 2020.

After taking some time off, I returned to Fantasy Congress in December. I also took time to reflect on a really weird, yet pretty good year for myself.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

October was a very different month. I explored new ideas, Fantasy Congress finally got some press, and I was a guest on not one but two podcasts! Can’t say I made a lot of progress, but it was busy nonetheless.

For the first time ever, I hit over $1k of revenue in one month! I dabbled in lots of different marketing efforts, but Facebook is still my highest performer. Even though I had a spectacular month, I'm wondering what to do next.
