2022 Year In Review Of A 2nd Year Part-Time Creator
My 2022 Creator Revenue Story: How I Almost Didn’t 2x My Revenue This Year
I almost wasn’t able to write such a glowing review of 2022. It was October and I was nowhere near reaching the (very reasonable) goals I had set for myself.
And then quite unexpectedly, in just 5 days my whole trajectory changed.
This is going to be a two-part post. The first is a story — the unbelievable story of how I hit my revenue goal this year (if you’re interested in me, you will probably enjoy this story). The second part is my wrap-up and lessons learned from 2022 (I won’t be offended if you just want to skip the story & go straight to the lessons).
Part 1: The Unbelievable Story of How I Almost Didn’t Hit My Revenue Goal This Year
I came into 2022 pretty hopeful.
2021 was the year I started as a scrappy creator. I wrote a lot, built a lot of products and made decent revenue. So I had no reason to think 2022 would be any different. I was hoping for more of the same but with more growth.
After all, everyone on the internet tells you these things compound right?
