200 Words a Day is 2 months old! ?

Born on November the 22nd last year, 200 Words a Day turned 2 months old yesterday. I waited till today to write about it as I wanted to generate some stats. Here we go:

? Fellowship

• We are now 1915 members (+1484 subscribers/+325%)

• 99 members joined our Slack workspace

• 394 members wrote at least one post (21%)

• 250 wrote at least 2 posts (13%)

• 195 wrote at least 3 posts (10%)

• 162 wrote at least 4 posts (8.5%)

• 142 wrote at least 5 posts (7.4%)

• 124 wrote at least 6 posts (6.5%)

• 113 wrote at least 7 posts (5.9%)

? Content

• We wrote 2289 posts over the month (+240.6%) for a total of 2961 posts.

? Traffic (not enough data to make a comparison with the previous month)

• 80,566 page views (21,312 views over 3 days of Product Hunt launch)

• 10,234 unique visitors

? Finance

• 200WaD started getting monetized this month (freemium model, yearly/monthly subscriptions)

• 205$ in net revenues (Yearly + Monthly patrons)

• 81$ MRR

• 18.5$ MRC (cut the Github Pro plan)

? New Personal Records

• 76 members (4%) managed a One-Week Streak
• 52 members (2.7%) managed a Two-Week Streak
• 26 members (1.4%) managed a Three-Week Streak
• 18 members (0.94%) managed a Four-Week Streak
• 16 members (0.83%) managed a Five-Week Streak
• 13 members (0.68%) managed a Six-Week Streak
• 8 members (0.42%) managed a Seven-Week Streak
• 3 members (0.16%) managed an Eight-Week Streak

Those metrics are still fascinating to me. It’s been my most productive month by far as a maker, and it’s crazy to imagine how things evolved in just two months time.

200WaD still has a lot of room for improvements, but this is encouraging. One of the biggest challenges over the next month is to figure out how I can help people who subscribed but never wrote, or wrote a few times. Are they here just to read? Is something fundamentally wrong with 200WaD? Those questions need an answer as soon as possible.

I want to thank everyone who contributed to the growth of 200WaD this month. This wouldn’t be possible without your help. I am more determined than ever to grow this community and create new value.

Thank you for writing/reading here, and as always, take care ❤️
