I (still) make >1000 on my watermarking windows program at www.watermark-image.com - yes an old skool installer that you dowbload :)

I am using the money to stairstep (as Rob Walling talks about) into the SaaS world with my sleep and happiness improving way to work called TimeBlock (http://timeblock.com)

I made a video course that teaches you how to build apps with AngularJS. http://angularcourse.com

I used this last winter to learn AngularJS! Make a React course if you can!

Oh wow small world. That's awesome.

Email me at gordon[at]watchandcode[dot]com. Would love to get your feedback on what I can improve and what other things you'd like to learn!

BTW This is the fourth time today someone has asked if I'm doing a React course. I am thinking about it :)

I should mention that this is a side project that became a main project. It currently makes several thousand a month on a consistent basis.

$2-300 per quarter from affiliate sales from a vinyl record shop that is linked to from http://soundshelter.net It's completely automated so any time spent on it is time I want to spend (other than a few user queries). Should really put up some Adsense but don't want to piss of the loyal users.

You could place Adsense if the IP/user/user agent is one you've never seen before (or seen rarely).

I generated a football betting algorthm > http://betalyst.com/ Gained a decent user base that gives it a strong MMR from ads etc

It's a brilliant idea. Just curious but which data sources do you use?

Was diving into football analytics awhile back but was having trouble getting beyond the usual statistics (e.g. goals, wins, losses, games played, etc).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How did you do the reddit quote thing? Custom made or is there a website that formats it for you?

Click embed under a comment and it will generate embed code for the comment. Example: http://www.reddit.com/r/angularjs/comments/2f7ziz/i_quit_my_...

Interesting, thought it looked pretty cool. Something to keep in mind for future projects. :)
