ICO, we raised more than $15M in 9 minutes, we only built a website with homepage, lol
Really? Looking at your Twitter, you work at toptalkedbooks.com which according to your associate that posted in this exact thread a few posts below ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15149593 ) isn't even making any money. Hmmmm?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Often the pros and cons are two sides of the same coin. For example - we have a 10k sqft warehouse - which is fairly expensive, and required a 5-year lease commitment. On the other hand, it's awesome to have so much customizable space completely to ourselves. The lease commitment also helps me keep focused on long-term success - which is especially nice during a rough month. Our focus now is on growing our Shopify e-…
This (MonthlyBoxer.com) is awesome! You've solved a "pain-point" on a large ecommerce service. I suggest just focussing on this one instead of the poop bags, because, solving "pain points" to real world problems trumps hate-products, plus the latter could expose you to lawsuits that will distract you from your main venture.... wishing you the best to grow and succeed!
We're also using our small sites as training grounds for our warehouse team. Few of our best people are content packing boxes forever, so giving them things to grow into (managing a site, marketing, sales, customer support, etc) helps us retain good people longer.
Also "get sued by the president" is on my bucket list.
DonaldTrumpDogPoopBags.com pulls in about $500 in revenue per day after some FB ad tuning. I acquired the site from a client when he decided to shut it down. It's moreorless break even until his earn-out is complete after a few hundred more orders. Fortunately running the site break-even supports main business, and e-commerce fulfillment company (MonthlyBoxer.com)
You should branch out into other personalities. I imagine getting the artwork done is quick and can be swapped easily. That way you can attach yourself to the next fad and roll with relevant FB ads.
Working on https://apibot.co , a testing and monitoring tool for REST APIs. Many of our customers come from word of mouth plus talking to people. Its been very interesting to see the kind of tests that people built with our tool. We're still technically in BETA although sales are going slow but smoothly. Send me a message if you are interested (fernandohur at apibot.co).
FIY: I get an HTTPS certificate error on Chrome reply
The certificate is only valid for the following names:
*.github.com, github.com, *.github.io, github.ioStarted https://dotlayer.com like 2 years ago, it was initially called wpzoan, I started it when my friends would message me about issues they were facing with WordPress, at that time I totally hated WordPress, I guess that was the developer in me. But I later saw all the issues people were facing and it's worked out well.
I've been working on my app Leap Second, it generates somewhere around 1-3k per month. https://www.leapsecond.co I created the app after using 1 Second Everyday crashed on me and deleted a few years videos. The app stores everything in the Photos app which made it very fast and easy to develop (a weekend). Now I spend a few hours a month mostly improving the UI and doing bug fixes as I find them. Initial traction was…
http://livereacting.com/ - SaaS app launched about 8 months ago. Currently $3k/mo. I automated everything. Last 3-4 months it works almost on autopilot I just do customer support
This is quite cool. How do you get this to work with FB? Are these streams you run via their Live API?
I've been working on https://doorbell.io since 2013, and although it had a slow start in terms of revenue it is making just shy of $2,800/month at the moment, still as a side project.
Hi, cool site. You might want to consider redirecting requests for your IP address to go to your domain name. Something like: server { listen 443 default_server ssl http2 reuseport; listen [::]:443 ssl http2 reuseport; server_name doorbell.io; # redirect IP address requests to https domain if ($host = '192.241.177.143') { return 301 https://doorbell.io$request_uri; # you might want to use code 307 in place of 301 if…
I built https://localname.io as an excuse to learn some Swift and node.js. It helps server side development by giving a publicly accessible URL to your computer. I needed it for development and testing of mobile applications together with the backend. Also works well for webhooks. Didn't reach the $500 yet, but it's getting there!
