How This Project Is Funded (and Where It’s Going)
This is one of those questions thoughtful people ask early on, so let’s get right to it:
Is this just a fun hobby, or is this built to last?
Short answer: This is very real — and it’s built for the long haul. It’s hosted on enterprise-level AWS infrastructure, fully self-managed, and designed to grow. This isn’t sitting on a home PC that’ll vanish with a power outage.
How It’s Funded Right Now
Right now, the project (this forum, the videos, the content) is funded through a mix of:
- eBook sales – modest, but helpful
- Coloring book sales – sometimes enough to cover full project costs
- My consulting business (AyotteConsulting) – covers the rest
None of it is free — but it’s important. I’ve committed to building this whether it pays back right now or not.
What I’m Working Toward
My long-term goal is simple:
I want this to become my full-time job.
Not trying to get rich — just trying to do meaningful work with the people who value it. Right now, the total income from all sources doesn’t even match a single week of my day job salary.
But with time, community, and support — that could change.
How You Can Support
You don’t need to donate. If you want to help, just do any of the following:
- Watch the YouTube videos
- Like, comment, and share — it helps with the algorithm
- Buy an eBook or coloring book if something resonates
- Share your own content and be part of the forum
And if there’s demand, I may add a PayPal or Buy Me a Coffee option — but that’s optional.
