How This Project Is Funded (and Where It’s Going)

:wrench: 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.


:money_with_wings: 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.


:bullseye: 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.


:handshake: 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.

Thanks for even reading this far. That already puts you in rare company.

I’m building this for the long term — and you being here is part of that.

:thought_balloon: Would you be interested in optional donation options (if we set one up)?
  • Yes – I’d prefer PayPal
  • Yes – I’d prefer Buy Me a Coffee
  • Yes – either one is fine
  • Maybe later – I’d like to see how things grow first
  • No – Just here to hang out
