Growth

After a period of steadily declining revenues from subscription sites the trend is back on the up!

The reason for this decline is that I wanted to make a shift from having income that came purely from marketing other companies services/sites to being more focused on our own. Historically most of the income to Real Interactive has been from running websites powered by other companies software, hosting and billing. I won’t deny that this is a great way of making money – no overheads or start-up costs, but I have always felt a little bit uneasy about not having 100% control.

So while we’ve not been marketing these sites their turnover has steadily dropped, all our profit going in to development. I was never sure how quickly sales would decline so it was difficult to know exactly how much to spend on development of new sites. In hindsight a better mix of marketing and development could have worked out better. But all’s well that end’s well….
