@grayruby this is a fantastic reference to have. Wondering how did you calculate all that? I mean, did you go through all the entries in the notification/wallet history? Did you have some tool to share that could make all these calculations easier?
Thanks
I just tracked it each day. Takes less than a minute to get the earn and revenue from notifications or wallet history and to count how many posts were made (well easy when it's only 4 per day, might be different for you if people are posting 50 things to sell a day).
You could create a spreadsheet to use to populate and calculate but I did it old school in a notebook. Maybe will use a spreadsheet down the road.

As a point of reference, ~privacy got:
  • 18.5k sats revenue
  • 12.5k came from a 25k post boost
  • Similar with 6k sats otherwise
  • 20 sat posting fee
  • 70 posts in month
  • 2.3 posts a day.
  • 3 personal posts inside it netted me 40k
  • About 60% recovered, not factoring in daily rewards
Summary: I know it’s a loss leader, but will be finding some creative ways to boost the sat returns & engagement. May even purchase the territory outright too, to spread the cost over a longer period.

Great recap. Boosted posts would definitely help out on the revenue side.
Could act as defacto ad revenue and IMO would be better than direct brand advertising in the territories. Just brainstorming, but I could maybe target some sports newsletter writers who have substacks to come do a weekly boosted post on the sports sub and they use it as a way to promote their newsletter. Maybe I pay the boost on the first one.
This also has the added benefit of the fact they will likely promote these posts to their existing audience which could bring more people to SN.
