So it's a wide variety of tools for anybody to use to monetize their content.
So that started in 2018.
Really, we launched the app at the beginning of 2019, and I didn't tell anybody that I built it, right?
I let it sit for a year because I wanted to have a proof of concept without using my name or anybody that I knew to get users.
I wanted somebody to come on the app and use the app what it was intended for, and we had several users do that.
But one person made about $6,000 in a year, and we had less than 10,000 users.
And so that showed me that I had a proof of concept that I could take and raise capital to do so.
But then 2020 came and COVID hit and then I couldn't move.
So we had to go a different route with crowdfunding.
Probably almost 200,000.
Ooh, we just had a big uptick.
Maybe 20,000.
What drove the uptick?
Well, we actually had a new user, Rapper Lotto.
She just joined the platform, actually, and she's having a birthday party here in Atlanta, and she's inviting five people to come to her birthday party on Fanbase, which I thought was really, really cool.
And people are downloading the app and subscribing to her like crazy because they want to come to her party.
I don't know off the top, but I mean, we're well over probably almost $300,000 or $400,000 just thinking about all the users in our user base.
So it's a significant amount of users that made a lot of money.
probably 80% of the app.
It's not very high.
