Expedition Log
Our public log of experiments: hours, spend, revenue and lessons.
We believe in showing the work. This log records each experiment with real numbers, including the flops. It starts at zero. Want to run your own? Use this method.
Every experiment on ProfitBasecamp gets logged here: what we tried, what it cost, what it earned and what we learned. Figures are self-reported and updated as we go. Wins and flops both count.
