I make ~$500/mo recurring income designing custom email marketing pieces.

Also, I see there are a lot of app developers here. I mainly do logo design http://www.designsourced.com and have worked on a few apps. Any HN folks that want a custom app icon designed for a good price or % of future sales let me know

About $350/month in affiliate earnings/advertising from an image gallery site. It's been up for about 1.5 years. Traffic has been up lately, but earnings seem to have plateaued.

I see a lot of posters making over $1K/month. How long did it take to reach that level of income?

What apps are they?

For fear of competition, I'd rather not say. They live in the education, lifestyle and graphics category. Two of them are ranked within the top 10 of most paid in many countries.

hm. do you have an email we can contact you at?

I had a total of one customer until now, and that is not recurring so, 3 bucks. I was happy that day, though.

I once had a collection of poker-related software that did in the low 6 figures per month. Unfortunately recent government actions kicked that in the nuts.

Is it because you're US based?

I believe it's more that the majority of the market was playing on the sites that were recently shut down. Less online players and play opportunities would correlate to a reduced interest in playing aid software.
