In December I published:
- 1 playable prototype!
- 2 YouTube videos
For the month I received $2.99. I clearly wasn’t focused on assets like I should have been, but that’s for good reason! First, let’s take a look at the breakdown.
Itch.io
I sold 1 assets for $2.99 at Itch.
I’m less focused on asset sales because you see those views towards the end of the month? They came from a new project I’ll talk about in a little bit.
I was more productive on Twitter last month, though some are pessimistic about Twitter’s future. I gained 17 new followers and increased my impressions by 84.2%! This also was because I was focused on showing .gifs of my new project, which I guess is a good time to talk about.
Levelmancer
Levelmancer is a new game I’ve been working on and I got to it to a place last month where I posted it on Itch.io as a playable prototype to share with family and friends. I think it looks great, and I’ve been getting some impressions as I’ve been streaming and showing off development.
You can learn more and play Levelmancer here.
I’ll be using Levelmancer as my primary project going forward, so expect to hear about its impact on my earnings here.
YouTube
YouTube stunk this week. Don’t know what else to say. The Pokemon card pack opening shorts ran out so those won’t be a factor going forward. I thought they’d be fun but they were unimpactful.
January’s Strategy
I simplified my monthly goals down last month even further. Let’s take a look at them for reference!
- Update the homepage of MashArcade to present a clear story of how you can use this website and find me on all platforms.
- 3 new YouTube subscribers
- 3 new Twitter subscribers
I was successful in two of the three goals. I did update masharcade.com to reflect its purpose. I also gained 17 new Twitter followers, so that goal was crushed. However, I lost a YouTube subscriber, rather than gained any. So let’s continue, but revise the goals.
January’s Goals:
- 1 new YouTube subscriber
- 1 new YouTube video
- 5 new Twitter subscribers
Milestone Goals
- Publish a game
- 5% complete
- 1,000 followers on YT
- ~25% complete
- 1,000 followers on Twitter
- ~80% complete
- $50/month from assets
