I sell a laptop battery meter ( http://batterybarpro.com ). It's not income replacing; it makes about $1,000 per month, but it's been crucial in saving enough for down payments one two houses. I've tried to get the revenue numbers up, but I've never been able to break a $2,000 month.
I run a product search engine called Dotmic http://www.dotmic.com/ .Recently we partnered with 60+ store and now we are profitable. :)
How do you get stores to partner with you?
I run Tarsnap: http://www.tarsnap.com/ I got started because I wanted good backups and there were no solutions available which I was satisfied with.
Are you planning to build sth on top of Glacier or include Glacier as an storage option (seeing it's on S3 anyway)? It will bring the cost down a great deal.
http://beatrixapp.com Solo, self funded and profitable. I work on it while traveling around Asia. Agree with patio11 there's probably way more than would speak up here. I seldom contribute to HN or the bootstrapping forums mentioned in another reply. I browse a little, but 99% of my time spent in front of the computer is spent working on product or replying to customer emails. How I got started: I've built SaaS apps…

If I understand correctly, this will post automatically to a Facebook page when users sign up. Any trouble with token expiration? I think it was changed from unlimited to a shorter time recently.
Facebook tokens aren't unlimited but they are long enough such that the user doesn't have to reconnect all the time.
Not sure if this is what Hacker News would normally consider a business but I run a YouTube channel as my one-person business: http://www.youtube.com/cgpgrey
I'm doing http://justaddcontent.com solo and self-funded. It turned into a bigger project that I anticipated, especially for my first product. I started working on it full-time in October. It started as a hobby project about two years ago. It took particularly long because I have a non-technical, military background and had to teach myself to code, design, write copy, marketing, etc. It's been a fun challenge. I stil…

I run a business selling penetration testing software that I develop. It's completely bootstrapped. I do very little services work (I actively send this type of stuff to friend's companies). Right now, it's just me, although that's probably going to change. By most of my own definitions and the one you posted here... it's successful. How did I get started on this? Sort of by accident. I was working for Automattic aft…
When's the end of year money period?
I do consulting and software development and am technically a small business. I'm down to a single client (much easier to manage than multiple clients) so I can pretty much pick my projects, work at my own pace, and get paid fairly decently. I don't make millions, but I make enough and am happy. Below isn't really business but was a brilliant idea by someone. It isn't my site but maybe it'll inspire someone to do som…
