Title: Hey HN — I wanted to share some data to show how useful it can be to have a decent audience on the internet.<p>Earlier this week, I spent no more than 16 hours prepping and recording a short video about I topic I know well. Yesterday I put it for sale on Gumroad [1], tweeted about it [2], and I already sold 234 copies for $14,379 worth of videos [3].<p>Last December, I did the same thing with a short technical ebook about AWS [4]. Since then, I sold $78K worth of PDFs in just under 4 months. At the time, I had 11K followers on Twitter. Now I have 25K.<p>I&#x27;ve been building an audience for 14 months. I started selling online 4 months ago, and now I&#x27;m close to making $100K [5]. I&#x27;m really fascinated by the opportunity of making a living from my own digital creations, and if you have any questions I&#x27;d be happy to answer them if I can.<p>---<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gumroad.com&#x2F;l&#x2F;twitter-audience&#x2F;hn<p>[2] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;dvassallo&#x2F;status&#x2F;1252963753647316992<p>[3] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;dvassallo&#x2F;status&#x2F;1253447751779487744<p>[4] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gumroad.com&#x2F;l&#x2F;aws-good-parts&#x2F;corona<p>[5] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;dvassallo&#x2F;status&#x2F;1253161719108493313
