Re: Ask HN: Do you have a side project that you would like to sell?
#42I 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…
Well at $3k a month (which it will hit most definitely) most standard valuations would put the price at around $60k or so. Now add on top the fact that I'm not actively looking to sell it, you'd have to make a quite substantial offer above that to make it "really good".
Certainly nowhere near $1,000,000 :) I keep my eye on businesses for sale and have bought and sold a fair few so I have a good idea of what they cost.

His comment about a "really good offer" applied to the (potential) $3k per month, not to the couple of hundred per month.
Exactly, the one that makes a couple hundred is different because I'm actively trying to sell it and therefore will sell for a reasonable market price.

#45I wouldn't mind selling one of my side projects, Water Marquee - https://www.watermarquee.com. It lets users watermark their photos. I started it about 5 years ago when I was getting back into development. It brings in around $1,200/month, though that's been growing lately. A year ago it was more like $500/month. It's been going up in search result rankings, I assume because I've tried to be more active on the blog (though it's paid-for content). There are around 1,000 visitors/day.
My email is my profile. The site is written in Node.js/angular 1.x. I haven't had to change the code in several months, so it's pretty much "done" as far as I'm concerned, and I'd rather spend my time on other projects.

#46I built 'h34t' - shows a realtime heatmap of where people are in the city (search iTunes Store for it).
Snapchat just paid $300 million for the same functionality. They could've bought it from me for a lot less ;)

#47What 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…
Depending on the age of the site, its uniqueness and competition barrier to entry, typically between 1.5 - 3.5x
I've just gone through the process via dealflowbrokerage.com - good experience so far.

#48I recently got offered $10,000 for my open source real estate website builder (PropertyWebBuilder) on condition I close down the project. Turned it down but still not entirely sure if it was the right decision.

I suspect that main reason is related with payment method. I am non-us associate. I have started with gift card payment it well good then I have changed to cheque payment method. I have waited long but no payment I have received. I have called amazon they said me there is problem and they will send it again. I have waited long when I contact them they said me it is already on the way then few weeks later they terminated my account and these cheques never come to me although they said they are on the way. I have wrote a story about the process without mention of payment issue https://hackernoon.com/dont-put-all-your-eggs-in-one-basket-...

#50https://github.com/alixander/Ceruleum I had built this with the intention to sell it on the app store but ended up not wanting to bother with marketing and signing up. But idk, maybe it can garner some buys as a paid developer tool app.
This looks useful! Thanks.
