Where it sits in the data

Firsto's $1.1K in the last 30 days is higher than 76% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Marketing” category (897 projects) it is higher than 71% (category median $198). 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 demand would come from indie makers, developers, startups, and product founders seeking product listings, launch visibility, homepage promotion, backlinks, and product reviews. Distribution would need visible acquisition surfaces such as product submissions, launch-related articles, and featured placements.

The hard parts are maintaining promotion inventory, handling submissions and reviews, supporting advertisers and product founders, and competing for attention. Payments, advertising, and review services also add operational and regulatory responsibilities.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

My view is that the clearest lesson is to package launch visibility around permanent pages, homepage promotion, search visibility, backlinks, and reviews. Firsto presents these as launch plans and review options for its stated audience.
