I screen scrape camping reservations and send out notifications when a campsite becomes available. http://reserve.wanderinglabs.com/ Currently working on integrating the new CA reserve website. It is a shit show.
Interesting—we’re doing something similar with https://www.campnab.com Currently available in B.C., Ontario, and Washington State. Now adding national parks in Canada.
I've cut my expenses and invested the extra in index funds. Currently at a nest egg of around $300k which spews off dividends of around $500/month and is currently appreciating a bit faster than that.
Did you get to that size of nest egg through investing?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
30, ~125k household income for two adults no kids, IT and teacher. Our income made it a little easier to get here but the $200k hole of combined student loans we started with (now fully paid off) probably counters that pretty evenly.
Is there more to the story? Started with -200k and now sit on +300k with a 125k salary? House? Came into a windfall of cash in addition to salary?

I launched an app for Shopify about a year ago called Custom Fields: https://customfields.bonify.io Currently it's making about $5,000 / month. It's been a very interesting process dealing with building the app, marketing it, and dealing with support. The app is $19/mo for regular Shopify stores, and we have about 700+ total customers (only some are paying). We get A LOT of support requests for misc things and have b…
Wow good work! How much time do you spend on this a week?
~$500+ per month making custom-designed handbags; not just sewing bags, mind you, but one-offs for individuals : word-of-mouth, facebook, friends, etc. Can't afford to advertise, couldn't handle the demand without hiring, don't want it to get too big.
Working on https://apibot.co , a testing and monitoring tool for REST APIs. Many of our customers come from word of mouth plus talking to people. Its been very interesting to see the kind of tests that people built with our tool. We're still technically in BETA although sales are going slow but smoothly. Send me a message if you are interested (fernandohur at apibot.co).

It was an internal project in the beginning and after some time and reworks we've decided to open it up to public.
https://workroll.com - started in June, turns over $2k a month. Built whilst automating my own freelance sales work flow and figured others could make use of it too. It saves me about a week a month from doing my own lead generation. Been trying to get funding but had no luck. Too early. Also started a blog to help freelancers grow: https://medium.com/workroll
How did you find people who were looking to hire? I want to create something similar for a niche industry.
