What is revenue?

Revenue is the money you get when you sell something or do a job for someone else.

Imagine you're running a lemonade stand. Every time someone buys a glass of lemonade from you, that's revenue, it's like getting a little bit of treasure from your customers.

Think of revenue as the money coming in from your customers. When you sell one lemonade for $1, you get $1 in revenue. If 10 friends come by and each buy a glass, you have $10 in revenue, that’s like getting 10 shiny coins!

Sometimes people mix up revenue with profit, but they're different. Revenue is just the money you get from selling your lemonade. Profit is what's left after you subtract the cost of making the lemonade (like the lemons, sugar, and cups). So if you made $10 in revenue, but it cost you $3 to make all that lemonade, your profit would be $7, like having 7 coins left after giving some away.

Revenue is just the starting point of how much money you earn!
