I make a few thousand a month from http://www.w3counter.com (freemium) and http://www.w3roi.com (no free plan). The sites have similar revenue despite the freemium one having over 1000 times more total users.
These look great, and I'm surprised I've never heard of them. How do you market them?

Is the $6k/mo for you? Or the two of you? What's the product like, OOC?
We split it up based on how many hours/commits have been done in the project to date. It's a niche product sold to small and midsized financial services firms. We used salespeople to get to about $3k/month and from there everything was organic. About 5 months from starting line until we got our first customer.
Do you mind if I contact you off-site?
$300-$500/month for a Windows desktop application. I wrote it to help out my mother-in-law since she found Photoshop too complicated to do what she wanted: placing text on pictures. Turned out to be a great learning experience on how to sell things online. See it here: http://www.pmesoftware.com
How do you market it? Adsense?
I'm using a throwaway account here to protect my privacy. I'm currently making between 90k and 110K a month in revenue as a sole employee running a fairly large active Web community ( Our revenue sources breaks down as follows: * 40/50K/month in subscription revenue * 25K/month in adsense revenue * 4k/month in other ad revenue (Ebay, Amazon, Viglink etc) * 30K/month in license and royalty revenue As the sole employee…
Around $1000 a month from Android app sales: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dozingcatsoftware.... . (After Google's cut, before taxes). A few weeks ago I applied the common HN advice and raised the price from $0.99 to $1.99, which so far has increased revenue by about 50%.
Not to knock your app... but really? Aren't there free apps that do the exact same thing? It's entirely possible that I am severely underestimating the mobile app market, but this just seems like something that nobody would pay for. I think I need to get into mobile dev.
Yes and no. There are free (ad-supported) apps that do similar effects, but in my entirely objective opinion they aren't as polished, and I haven't seen any others that record video. And my free version (no ads) does everything the paid version does except save pictures and video.

It surprised me too, especially with the constant claims that Android users don't spend money. But as the poster above said, it's fun to show to your friends, and then if somebody wants to take a picture, $2 is less than a drink...

Hey - good to see you're on HN. This app never fails to amaze people I show it to (especially The Matrix mode)

I do most of my volume through e-book reader sales like kindle. A lot of people do this whole "launch formula" thing with e-books, but I've never tried that, I just pick topics that gets decent google juice and let organic search bring in people to the sales site. I also pick topics that aren't covered, or at least not well cover, on amazon and the like.
I looked you up on the Kindle and didn't find anything. I'm guessing you use pseudonyms? Any reason why?
$1,000 per month from two ATM's I own. The money is easy, but finding good locations that don't already have one is a complete bitch.
This would be an interesting problem to solve algorithmically. If you could get a map of ATM locations and population density.
Between 3000 to 5000 a month USD spending about 10 hours a month on support. Last year, made about $40K. Nothing to sneeze at, but nothing to get too excited about either.
