#72I 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.
Thanks for your contribution to open source <3
Sound charitable but really it bsuinesses that benefit from most open source not the average person. If he took the money it'd be fine.

#73I have a portfolio of Wordpress themes on Themeforest, it started as a side project and I still don't dedicate much time to it but it makes around $10,000-$12,000 per month in revenue. The only expenses are hosting (150$/m) and support person ($700/month).
Why sell?

#74Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
TBH that's not how valuations work, simce projections higher than current sales are not reliable (unless there are special circumstances). you have any questions on how an acquisition for your plugins would work?
Would you say the same for Tesla?

#75http://www.jeviz.com which I used to make around $500/month from amazon affiliation with very few (around 30) daily users. Amazon has terminated my affiliation. I think it has more potentials and you can migrate to another domain with your associates tag and promote it. Its a readable Django web app.
I am wondering - isn't there a good chance something like this might happen to the other site/domain too? It is just a matter of time before they find out what the new site/domain is up to.
Though what I find surprising is there are various Amazon price trackers which seem to be operating well. Shouldn't they be using the same url format as yours?
I could be wrong to suggest it but why not make it open source? It helps people wanting to self-host and not run into issues later.

#77hakrlog.com sample blog - pvsukale.hakrlog.com Markdown blogging for hackers. Everyone gets a unique subdomain and they can write and publish with a simple interface. A native nested comments section, No ads, No monthly charges. People can follow authors for weekly emails and RSS. It is in beta, no current users though. If anyone wants to support development / buy the project contact email :- pvsukale at gmail dot co…
My 2c, no technical user would ever want to host their blog on a 3rd part platform when it's so easy to self-host. The exception are platform with network effects (e.g. Medium). Why should I post on your platform when I don't know if in 30 days it will still be online? And given the lack of focus on grammar and spellchecking on the landing page, why should I assume what's in the backend is better?

#78I 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…
>50/50 adsense & product sales
In your experience, what level of traffic translates into how much adsense income? Any thumb rule you've noticed?

#79What 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.
To clarify, 1.5x - 3x ARR?

#80I have a side project GTheme.io[1] selling Ghost.org premium themes. 11 of the themes are designed by myself. Tonnes of growth potential as Ghost 1.0 just released.
As my focus shifted, I plan sell it.
