Hit $1 Million in Lifetime Sales Today
Feeling weird about sharing this with extended family/friends so sharing here. Started an online niche test-prep tutoring business in 2022 and just hit $1 million in lifetime sales. Lifetime net profit margin of 58%. From grinding out everything myself for the first two years to building out a team where I operate solely on the administrative side it's surreal to look back while also looking forward. Had no idea if this would gain traction when I got started. Best advice I got was to start a business with something you know well and to stay true to your core business before expanding.
I benefited a ton from this thread and hope this can serve as a reminder that things can feel hard but you can do it. Appreciate you all! Throwing out annual revenue/profit numbers.
