I make anywhere from $300 to $800/month on http://pizzacodes.com . About 3 or 4 months ago I switched domain names to make it more memorable, and I dropped out of search results for everything but my site name. Traffic has increased pretty substantially from other sources over the past few months, so I'm back just over $600/month again.

likewise. :-(
Can I ask why? Is this intentional because you're busy doing other stuff, or because your efforts have yet to be successful?
I gross just under $10K per month from http://www.letscodejavascript.com , a subscription-based JavaScript screencast for professional developers [1]. It's a full-time job: I put out two new episodes every week, plus a "special" every month that takes quite a bit more effort. That leaves me with about half my time for developing the business. I'm bootstrapping this, so it's just me. I don't plan to hire any employees…
I really like what you are doing, but after seeing what happened to RailsCasts I am a worried what will happen to this business model once it hits 400+ episodes. Hopefully your "other plans" have this part worked out?

Which conversion step do you think it would be easiest to improve upon? I'm curious, because increasing the rate of free trial signups by 30%, from 2% to 2.6% (which seems like a modest increase), would result in the same number of subscribers as if you were to manage to increase trail-to-paid conversions by the same 30%, from 70% to 91% (which seems like a much more difficult feat). Anyway, I'm sure you know the var…
I'm definitely focusing on the free trial signups, for exactly the reason you said. Here's how I decide what to do next: I have a big 6' folding table in my office that's covered in index cards. On the left-hand side are six columns: what I'm planning to work on this week (the current iteration), the next four weeks of commitments (mostly episode air dates), and any future commitments (such as my Christmas vacation w…

Now that's interesting. Please do share more about your disposition away from revenue. What does that mean to you?
I'm trying to think how to explain it without using anecdotes, as I want to understand it myself without punting to simile. I know that I undervalue the importance of money in my own life (I have been poor to the point of homelessness once, poor the point of selling possessions to get rent/food money a few times). I also undervalue my worth, almost never charging an appropriate amount for my time. I've cultivated a n…
Best of luck to you :)
Nothing, 0 ;( But after seeing so many success stories here, I hope one day to overcome that internal brake inside me that prevents from trying.
I have 2 companies in the professional photography space: http://bigfolio.com and http://aphotofolio.com . The first serves wedding and portrait photogs and the second high-end editorial, commercial, fashion. We provide website designs and a custom CMS for managing galleries. We get a setup fee (though that is going away soon) and monthly hosting. They aren't exactly equal but each is making in the low six figures pe…
That's very impressive - both in terms of revenues, and product development! Are you doing all the design and development work yourself?
Bit late to the boat but: Around $700/mo from a themeforest account. And the more interesting story, about £4.5k/mo from a cleaning business that i bought. I will at some point write the story up, but the TL:DR is: Spotted vastly under valued cleaning business with complete staff. Turnover of previous owner £190k a year. Profit of previous owner £18k. Yup, £18k.... Bought it for £13.5k. Still in the early stages and…
