Pieter Levels' Solo Millions
Share
Sam Parr shares a story about the remarkable growth of solo entrepreneur Pieter Levels.
"We talked about this guy a couple episodes ago, but I've actually been paying attention to him for like 3 years. As far as I can tell it's a one person business. For the longest time he would reveal all of his revenue and for years it was like 2 or $300,000 a year in revenue.
He has a bunch of different products - nomadlist.com, remoteok.com, workers.co. He even has a cool website called rebase which is all about moving to Portugal. He's got like 8 different websites. For the longest time only like 3-4 $500,000 a year in revenue - neat but not that cool.
This year he got close to 5 million in revenue, and for a one person internet business that's pretty phenomenal. The remote thing has basically caught up with him and he's crushing it. This guy's an artist and I think he was the breakout person of the year behind OpenSea."
Andrew Wilkinson adds: "That guy has my dream life. I have a lot of respect for him because I think he still shares his numbers - most guys that get to this scale almost always stop sharing because everyone realizes how much money they're making."
