I'm Daniel. I made $404,473 selling an ebook and a video course on the internet. AMA 👇

2.5 years ago I decided to quit the rat race and I left my career in big tech to go work for myself, on my own terms. Initially, I was going to focus all my attention on building a SaaS, but I quickly realized I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket. Fast forward to today, I make and sell educational info products, do some contracting (working quarter-time at Gumroad), run a SaaS business, and at the end of this month, I also plan to get into selling physical products.I made $550K+ in revenue since I started working for myself, with over $400K coming from info products. Ask me anything!

Great job Daniel! What other projects are on your roadmap aside from the cutting boards that you've mentioned on Twitter/ig?
Daniel Vassallo
@nickvitucci That's the only concrete thing on the roadmap. I hope to start selling those next week or the week after. Longer time, I' thinking of creating another course, focused on 'fending for yourself'. Still very nebulous, but I think I have a good content plan. We'll see :)

Wow that's great news! Have you worked with any partners to make this happen or are you a solo entrepreneur. I'm working within my marketing business solo so I always like to hear how others are successful.
Daniel Vassallo
@trey_cannon Mostly solo. I created my first info product with a co-author, but the rest have been just me.

Which came first the product or the community of followers? When you started selling how many followers did you have?
Daniel Vassallo
@kensavage The followers. I had about 11,000 followers when I released my first info product.

Any lessons on how you marketed your business?

Huge congrats! And thanks for hosting an AMA! What percentage of your sales still come from your Twitter followers?
Daniel Vassallo
@jehan_ About 25% still come from the link in my Twitter bio. The rest I attribute to word of mouth.

very cool!

That's an incredible amount of money. Do you have a step by step guide?

Hey Daniel, How do you measure the impact of your info products? Is that a factor when you do a retro on your product?
Daniel Vassallo
@pavithra_kodmad I don't have a way to measure precisely, but I can get a good sense by seeing people buying, reviewing, and recommending my products to others.
Alex Couch
Wow. Well done. Could you speak to some of the foundational steps you took when you launched your course/book?
Ricky Charpentier
Hey Daniel, great to see you here! I'm a happy purchaser of your Twitter course, great stuff!
Daniel Vassallo
@rickfiyah Thank you Ricky!
