I make around $5 to $10 a day from my site http://tunes.io I haven't put any effort into marketing it or trying to monetize it other than adsense. Maybe I should be trying harder!
How much traffic do you receive a day?

#6221, drop-out, profit ~ $7k a month, working part-time, and no partner. Up from $31/month last December. Comes from sale of plugins. Not recurring, but stable.
Sounds great. What kind of plugins? Where do you sell them?
Re: Ask HN: How much recurring income do you generate, and from what?
#63TL;DR: The top of our funnel is fine, and our app is making money, but it's not "easy money" and our trial to paying customer sign up needs some serious attention. I run a HR app for SMEs called http://www.staffsquared.com . We're making a comfortable 5 figures each month. We're reinvesting this income back in the product either in the form of new functionality (paying programmers) or advertising (paying Google Adwor…
Apparently "SME" means "Small & Medium Enterprises".

About 400 - 500 visitors a day. CPM is ok compared to other sites I've run adsense on. People seem to like the site.

#65Improvely reached $10,000/mo RR recently, less than a year from launch (https://www.improvely.com).
I also run W3Counter (freemium) and a couple smaller services and paid plugins for Shopify stores.

#67I wrote a guide to integrating Stripe payments into Rails applications that expands greatly upon the 10-minute quick-starts[1]. It launched a little over a month ago and has generated more than $10k. I'm expecting that to drop quite a bit going forward but I'm still hoping for ~$500 in monthly revenue.

How do / did you market it? As it seems as if you're only hosting it on your personal website? How do people find it?
I set up a mailing list right at the beginning (there's a signup link way at the bottom of the landing page, need to make that more prominent) that generated quite a bit of interest. My website by itself generates a decent amount of traffic as well. It's also been featured in a few podcasts and email newsletters which generate traffic and sales.

#68It seems the big winner is Apple and Google. They passively collect 30% on the apps we spend months making.
How much of our time do we spend managing their servers, security, payment gateways, etc...?

#70I'm making roughly $300/month from three iPhone apps. They're all quite simple and I'd estimate that I've put in less than a month's actual work building them; although as a disclaimer, this is my day job so I can put these together relatively quickly.
My fourth app was a larger time investment and gets quite a lot more downloads. It makes no income now, but I'll add In-App Purchases soon.
I'm freelancing for ~45 hours a month to fund this while backpacking all over the world. I should blog about it.
