I just crossed $200k in sales since I (re)launched in May, so yeah - about that.
That's crazy successful. I'm working on my own auto responder course. How did you build up traffic to the sales page?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
About 8% right now, with an average sale of a little north of $200 (so it doesn't take many subscribers and sales to hit four-figures a day)
Does the end of your sales funnel have some sort of scarcity built into it? Or are you basically just linking out to the sales page, to an always available book/course?

Done the same over the years. Although slum lords can do better, I prefer the higher end, where appreciation is part of the equation. Property management headaches typically go down at the high end because there's more $ per unit, and the things that break tend to be per unit/person. You also have more $ to fix things and can do it "right". Finally, you can enjoy the places yourself. Typically, I shoot for ~5% rent t…
Sort of similar questions I asked the OP: How much capital did you invest, and how much debt did you use?
Also, the capital equation is something you can compute: if you want $x in income, then how much capital cost is there etc
Keep in mind, we're in a low interest rate environment.

Yeah, so there's a coupon offered that expires in a week. I'm applying an "Eligible for discount" tag in my marketing automation tool when I announce the discount, and retract it when the sale window ends. And my sales site checks for the presence of that tag before applying the discount. This effectively allows me to create a sale-for-one type system.
I earn about $1500 a month from a program called BatteryBar, it's a laptop battery meter for Windows laptops. Sales are driven mostly by referrals from web forums and Q&A sites where users recommend it. It's a freemium model with the vast majority using the free version.
That is an awesome program, I have used it for a while. Good work. :)
We will record a video note to someone you like on your behalf (anonymous if desired). It's a video service for secret admirers.
We built the entire thing last night (11/19/14) in about 5 and a half hours from conception to implementation. If we sell any, we'll go about polishing the page and making it better.

It's been several years now that I'd like to launch a few side projects. But contrary to the crowd here I'm just a normal human : when I come home I'm just exhausted and / or want to do something else than coding. I could use the extra cash though. This month I even tried placing bets on soccer and tennis and failed miserably.
If they're not normal humans, it's only because they have more willpower than you. That's the best news ever, because it's been proven in studies time and time again that willpower can be built up just like muscles through exercise. Conquer your will, and you'll be able to use it to build what you want. Start with meditation if you're not doing it already. Regular physical exercise and meditation are excellent ways t…
I am making around $1500/month by freelancing on odesk where I work on max 2 projects per month(I am an undergrad student) and each project takes approx 4 days. Before that I was hired full time work from home(40 hrs/week) by a swedish company and was making 2500$/month for 3 months. PS: looking for full time remote work at startups, Pythonista web developer(flask/django)
What programming languages are the oDesk job in? I am also a student and need to start making some money freelancing.
I see many comments about Android apps as money-makers, but only one for iOS. Does that reflect where app sales are in each market, or are Hacker News commenters just much more likely to be Android users?
