We make more than that with VYPER -- http://vyper.io

you took the ponzi scheme and applied it to marketing. That's glorious. I am starting to believe what I once read about the brightest minds of our era being too busy trying to devise new effective ways to make us click on the ads.

Haha thanks man. We try.

Is there a common place on the internet for such discussions? A site where people can share ideas and find people to work together.

http://discuss.bootstrapped.fm

is one - for sharing ideas and getting feedback. I've read a few interesting threads and advice and results there. Also, their site design and appearance are interesting (though a side point).

I guess ProductHunt too, though haven't checked that a lot (yet).

Discussion from the last time this question was asked: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11214497 And the time before that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9508528 And the time before that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6884552

Upvoting for visibility. Not because the question has been asked to death, but because reading those threads are so damn fun.

Dedicated category might be worthwile :-) something like WhoIsHiring with fresh information every month.

I run a college wrestling website, http://www.wrestlestats.com . I'm right at about the break-even point with the site through the ads I have on the site, but hopefully it will get better. Trying to find some people willing to donate/invest so I can get my new version of the site completed.

This is pretty cool. One of my favourite websites when I was in high school was MileStat/MileSplit. It was specifically geared towards high school runners in each of the states. I assume it started out specifically at the national level, but they've bought up state specific sites to merge under 1 banner. I don't know much about wrestling, but perhaps consider taking on the high school level.

I've thought about doing that (actually, my one helper WANTS me to open it up to New Jersey High School, which is where he's from). It would require some decent architecture changes, but the majority of those I'm working on this summer....so maybe in the future.
