I have a portfolio of Wordpress themes on Themeforest, it started as a side project and I still don't dedicate much time to it but it makes around $10,000-$12,000 per month in revenue. The only expenses are hosting (150$/m) and support person ($700/month).

#22Can we please make this a recurring question Wouldn't it be worth doing a trial period of manual posts first, to gauge the amount of interest?
Agreed, and can we please not make this a thing, actually? Because it happens regularly already and in my opinion it's pretty noisy. We have questions like: "What is your pain point?" "What do you wish existed?" "What problem in your industry would you pay to solve?" "What is your side project?" "How much do you earn from your side project each month?" It just seems obsessive. There is sometimes a fair amount of part…
I agree there are many similar threads but this one seems different insofar as it's explicitly asking for contributions from people who want to sell / off-load their side-projects.

Although you used a throwaway, you forgot to include contact info. Assuming you want to sell the side project that is.

#24I have a wordpress plugins business that earns maybe a couple hundred a month without touching it at all. I know it's not a lot but I sold a similar business a few years back that regularly made $1200-$1500 a month and the products were not as good. The only difference is I'm working so hard on other stuff this hasn't had the time it deserves. Someone with the time and motivation to add a couple of new features and a…
What exactly is a really good offer? I'm not personally interested. But every time one of these threads comes up someone invariably comes along with a "business" that makes a tiny about of money but they want to sell it for a "really good" offer. A couple hundreds a month. Let's say that comes to $4000 in profit a year. What do you want? A 10x multiplier? So $40,000? Does your plugin business have enough value to jus…
His comment about a "really good offer" applied to the (potential) $3k per month, not to the couple of hundred per month.

#25What do side-projects typically sell for?
My own is 8 months old. It averages $3K/month in revenue with costs of $100/month. Mine is a plugin not SAAS. I've had 100 sales so far, currently around 5-10 sales/month. I offer 30-day no-questions-asked refunds, but no-one has requested one yet. I've never had a visa chargeback, either.
My own probably requires at least 3 software updates/year to maintain the revenue level. E.g., a small feature added or a couple bugfixes. Customers always buy annual licenses, and annual maintenance extensions to the license are half price.

I recently picked up this nifty little app from the original developer (https://www.sendcatch.com/), and then immediately got swamped with my main product. It is not currently monetized.
I use it to instantly move larger files between my laptops and phones. Node/Mongo. Costs $5/mo on DigitalOcean. Open to offers! Email in profile.

#28Fielding serious offers for my startup http://commando.io . Looking for 3-4x ARR. Commando.io is a web based SSH platform for running commands on servers. The commands (recipes) are centrally stored and versioned and there is a complete execution history. There is an API, CLI, and iOS app for running commands on servers on the go as well. If interested see HN profile for my contact info.
What are your current revenues/costs?

Probably good to mention how much it's making, even if it's $0?
