My entire marketing strategy is just sharing all my ups and downs, instead of paying for ads. A lot like @patio11 did in his blog posts.&lt;p&gt;This &amp;#x2F;open page is just another part of that besides my incessant tweeting about every little feature I built for years at &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;twitter.com&amp;#x2F;levelsio&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;twitter.com&amp;#x2F;levelsio&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;p&gt;I still can&amp;#x27;t understand it&amp;#x27;s over $1M&amp;#x2F;y, it&amp;#x27;s an insane number for me and I think I would have never believed I&amp;#x27;d ever get there if you told me years ago. COVID had a lot do with making remote work suddenly big and my site benefits from that a lot.&lt;p&gt;Thank you Hacker News!&lt;p&gt;P.S. This wouldn&amp;#x27;t be possible without my server guy @daniellockyer, who has helped keep my VPS up for years.&lt;p&gt;P.S.2. I donate 5% of all revenue to &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;stripe.com&amp;#x2F;climate&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;stripe.com&amp;#x2F;climate&lt;/a&gt;, with about $75,000&amp;#x2F;y being donated now.</text></comment>

When I asked him about both ventures on the NomadList Slack group, he said that while NomadList originally made more money, RemoteOK started to make a lot more simply because it&amp;#x27;s B2B while NomadList is B2C. The difference between companies and individuals paying for stuff is vast. So he said to target B2B for startups in general.</text></comment>
