Fernando Pessagno said on the Starter Story podcast he is earning about $15K a month from his two products (Sep 2026). His 2023 Starter Story interview covered aiCarousels alone. This figure is operator-reported and not independently verified. This is one operator’s result, often after months or years of work, and doesn’t predict yours.

Risks

  • Platform API rate limits and policy changes.
  • Very crowded scheduler market.
  • Startup cost and time to first dollar are not disclosed.

*Income figures are illustrative ranges based on public pricing and typical outcomes reported by practitioners, not guarantees. Most new online businesses earn little or nothing at first. Not financial, legal or tax advice.
