#362I've seen a lot of friends publish apps to different ecosystems (e.g. marketplace.atlassian.com, https://apps.shopify.com, etc.) and make a steady profit. Seems like this is a good way to tap into an existing user base (although you share a portion of the revenue).

#363Lobiloo (https://www.lobiloo.com) is an invoicing tool exclusively for florists.
i acquired it from a florist about 1.5 years ago and have been going deep on the industry ever since.
my challenge is (obviously) not having domain expertise, but i compensate by listening to customers, getting feedback from the former owner (now a lifetime user), and doing what i do: hack.

#364Earlier quoted context omitted.
I have photography equipment that I used while working a media consultant. It was a 100% deductible business expense back then, I get a tax break every year as they continue to "depreciate". It's been a few years, I still do some photography on the side mostly portraits or headshots.
I don't think deduction means what you think it means. If you deduct 100%, you aren't deducting it from the total tax owed. You are deducting from your total taxable income. So if your tax rate is 30% and you spent $1,000 on a camera, you will save $300 on taxes. So the camera is not free. But you do get it for effectively $700. Additionally, you can't deduct the value of a purchase AND depreciate it every year. You…

In Austria we have an "investment bonus" that allows you to do exactly that (with a limit). If you are in the highest tax bracket (50%), this means you can get around 5000€ of equipment effectively for free every year.

#365Key Values ( https://www.keyvalues.com ) is a one-woman show (oh hi!). I started Key Values as a side project two years ago, but it quickly turned into my full-time passion and business. I'm doing ~$30k/month and it's almost all profit since I don't have an office or any employees. I recently talked to Courtland of Indie Hackers (already mentioned in the comments) about how I got here: https://www.indiehackers.com/po…
Sweet mother...this is awesome. As a very technical engineer currently lost in a sea of bean counters and project managers, it has been a real challenge wading through idiotic recruiters and endless repeated garbage job postings. Thank you for Key Values...this is gold.

#366Surprised Simple Analytics[1] hasn't been mentioned yet. I don't know how profitable it is but this seems like a great example re: the question. [1] https://simpleanalytics.io/
As the founder of Simple Analytics I know a bit about the profitably of the company. It is making profit but it’s not enough yet to sustain my lifestyle completely.
I do some freelance work on the side. As one hour of freelance work is more or less equal to one customer for a year it’s still way more satisfying to work on Simple Analytics.
I try to keep it within 40 hour work weeks but the reality is around 2-10 hours freelance and 30-50 on Simple Analytis. But it’s sooo fun!

#367Go for it! I'm working on NanaGram ( https://nanagram.co ) solo and bootstrapped. Although I'm not making a full-time income yet, it's generating a profit. It's mostly automated. NanaGram is the 3rd greatest generator of happiness and fulfillment in my life (after my wife and my dog). I get a constant stream of good vibes from customers, most recently voicemails from grandmothers! ( https://nanagram.co/blog/feedback-…

#369https://trolley.link - my payments project.
It lets you put a payment button on any website and pop up a cart; single products, donations, deposits, subscription / recurring payments.
Customers are using it to power charity donations, self published book sales, physical product sales & shipping, membership fees for clubs and so on.
You can integrate it to Mailchimp and use it to put together a paid subscription email newsletter... or use it to make your own Patreon at much much lower cost to you.
It uses Stripe as the gateway in the back end. (To use Stripe Checkout you still need a back end to handle token exchange. Trolley handles that for you.)

#370Packetriot ( https://packetriot.com ) - around 4 months old and I haven't begun seriously marketing, but it generates $60/month and makes a tiny profit. With it you can create a secure public endpoints (HTTP/TCP) from any network. The client can host static sites, reverse-proxy to other hosts, terminate TLS. It manages Lets-Encrypt for you. The higher-end tiers provides access logs, metrics, firewall rules, and servi…
Interested in hearing more about your very low running costs (I understand below $60/month).
I have 4 edge servers that are small VMs at the moment. For the number of users I have more than enough capacity. I also have a separate server that has more resources for the main site and APIs.
I use DO, altogether hosting costs are $40/mo for now.
