Where it sits in the data
Advise.so's $21K MRR is higher than 96% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Community” category (165 projects) it is higher than 96% (category median $126). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
My view is that the buyer is a marketing professional or business owner who values direct access to experienced practitioners, structured discussion, and practical courses. The demand centers on useful expert knowledge and regular interaction with people working in specialized marketing channels.
My view is that distribution would need to come from communities, professional networks, member referrals, and visible member outcomes. The difficult parts are recruiting credible experts, maintaining active discussions, moderating self-promotion, supporting live sessions, and competing for experienced marketing professionals’ attention.
Verdict: Hard to replicate.
One thing to take from it
My view is that the strongest product lesson is to package expert access, recurring community interaction, practical courses, moderation, and marketplace posting into one membership rather than relying on a single piece of educational content.
