Between $1450 and $1650 a month from ads on Android apps. One app does about $1100 a month, another does $325 and the rest collectively maybe $150.
Can you possibly share a little of the stat (impressions maybe) that generates the $1k+ ?
I make around $2000/month from two Mac apps (database tools). Revenue is falling as multiple competitors cloned my profitable app, so I have to do more client work again :(
The Ruby on Rails Tutorial ( http://railstutorial.org/ ), conceived as a 4-Hour Workweek –style product business, makes low five figures per month, requiring just about the proverbial four hours of work per week (mostly minor book updates and customer service emails). New editions are a lot of work (e.g., ~2 months full-time to redo the screencasts), but the new sales cycle typically yields a mid-five-figure income s…
This is one of the greatest motivations for young and budding entrepreneurs. Even more so than aspiring speeches or conference talks. I'd like to thank everyone that posted links and revealed your numbers. People usually don't do that because it invites competition but it's amazing to see how nice and inviting the HN community is. I'm also AMAZED at the familiar faces. I've seen and bought a lot of code from some of…
This may be off topic but I'd love to where you registered your domain affordabl.es. Last I tried registering a .es tld, I got some "Syria residents/biz" restrictions.
They're great. I'm switching over to them from 1and1. I own about 65 domains.
Making $4000 + / Month profit . Running a consulting firm. I have two direct employees and few pass-through 's . Revenue is much bigger a number at $100,000 + /Month . Effort is very less to maintain this profit as only spend few hours /month to run payroll , invoicing clients and make timely payment out to the vendors. pass-through : Consultants not employed by my company but work for my clients.
You only take 4% profit margin? Seems very low.
I net roughly $230/month from a rental property I own. I have a realtor I trust manage it for a "first month + 5% of rent" fee. The property is located in a market where rent is much higher than the mortgage (about 150%), so I end up making a profit while building equity into a house at a low interest rate. Not exciting, but it is a viable model and management fees seem very reasonable for the amount of work the real…
Make sure you're accounting for vacant months, and for maintenance.
~$130 from ads on YouTube videos ( http://www.youtube.com/user/YTBYlover )
Hey really cool videos thanks for sharing the link. I've been extremely interested in starting a youtube channel and ones that are currently similar are somewhat similar to your youtube stats. An example: 5,000 subscribers 1,000,000 views Joined 2011 So my question is how did you monetize your channel? I have a few more months to go before I can get good equipment for recording and editing so I'm unfamiliar with yout…
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?
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I assume the screencast has a limited shelf life, so yes, my "other plans" are about that. Although at this point, I think the problem is more about organizing the content so it's not overwhelming. I'm not worried about running out of material or burning out, at least not for a while. What happened to RailsCasts?
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.
Did you do a 301 redirect from the old domain to the new one?
Google apparently updated their algorithm right around the same time, so it's possible I got hit by that for some reason (even thought I've never attempted to do any 'seo' whatsoever). I wondering if they consider the number of internal links on the site, or the number of pages / how often they update bad.
