#12I built Premium Ghost Theme marketplace http://www.gtheme.io/ to sell premium ghost themes. I designed most of the themes because I have chicken and egg problem. Now I get about $100-$300/m revenue. Most people still dont know what is Ghost https://ghost.org/ yet. It is CMS that like Wordpress, but built on NodeJS. EDIT: Added what is Ghost
