72 hours ago I launched Dracula PRO (https://draculatheme.com/pro).<p>Here are some thoughts and behind the scenes of that process.<p>Conclusion #1<p>It's possible to make money with open source.<p>It's not only for massive projects like RedHat, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, etc.<p>Conclusion #2<p>Here's the geographical distribution of traffic this week.<p>United States: 5,449, Brazil: 4,303, Germany: 1,060, United Kingdom: 1,021, India: 910<p>The US alone has 23% of total traffic, that's important to know especially when it comes to distributing content at the right timezone.<p>Conclusion #3<p>I tried sharing on Reddit, Product Hunt, HackerNews, and IndieHackers.<p>Even though they brought some traffic, Twitter still is the number one referral source.<p>Twitter: 1,788, GitHub: 1,279, Hacker News: 750, Indie Hackers: 527<p>Conclusion #4<p>Net Sales are $5,252.47 (after Gumroad fees, refunds, chargebacks, and affiliate fees);<p>Total Costs are $120.40 (Mailchimp, Typeform, etc);<p>Net Profit: $5,132.07<p>Staying lean is very hard, but I'm focused on maintaining the operational costs as low as possible.<p>Conclusion #5<p>Now I'm trying to think of ideas to keep the momentum going.<p>Any suggestions?
