I made a 50X ROI on a $100/Yr Subscription— Here’s how
I love reading entrepreneur interviews.
Startup stories, how this was made interviews, and bootstrapping journeys from fellow business owners. It’s so riveting for me.
I found this site on Reddit.
It was dozens of startup stories and they were published on a site. The site is membership-based but they were letting readers check out 2 stories/month for free (at the time).
I did that, for months!
Eventually, I splurged and bought an annual subscription.
It was about $100-$110 or so.
It helped me make over $5,000, a 50X ROI, soon after.
Here’s how…
What’s the subscription-based website that helped me make 50X on my investment?
It’s called Starter Story.

It’s a…
- Collection of startup stories from bloggers, app developers, business owners, and entrepreneurs
- Source for business growth ideas
- Places for business ideas
- Collection of tools that their interviewees use
And, they also run a newsletter to over 200,000 subscribers.
It’s interesting because you get to read about how a business started, how they raised money, what their journey was like, how long they’ve been in business, how much they started earning and how much they make now, what tools they used, what they did for marketing, and more.
In that interview, Starter Story asks the business if they are hiring.
And, if they are, they’ll share the opportunities they’re hiring for.
I reached out to a handful of these companies that are hiring.
One replied back to me and that’s how I have made over $5,000 from my $100 Starter Story investment!
It’s the easiest thing ever.
A business owner needs help with…
- Writing
- Virtual assistance
- Influencer work
- Etc.
You contact them and pitch yourself.
That’s it.
Would you risk investing $100 to make 25X or 50X return?
