About $350 in the first month of Double Dynamo (http://doubledynamo.com/), a memory and rhythm game for iOS. I haven't put significant work into viral features, which could probably substantially increase installs, but at this point I've put the project on the back burner.

I'm making zero dollars right now with http://togspots.com. It's a SaaS where photographers can add and find photography locations. I'm working on setting up a subscription that would allow users to save private spots and a few other features. The biggest issue is getting more locations. Currently I require users to add 1 location before they can search which is working well so far.

Well here is my journey. A few months ago, I built a vertical jobs board platform, free for developers and paid by companies announcing their job offers (yes another one). The numbers: I launched during summer and have made around $200. Have 1125 developers subscribed to daily alerts Have processed around 1500 applications for 81 jobs posted (most of them through 100% discount tickets given away) The idea was not ver…

Is there a way to filter notifications by location? I don't want to get notified of openings in Berlin and Amsterdam when I'm in Toronto

I'm losing about $200 a month so far on https://blankpage.io , the subscription model took longer than calculated to implement.

Visiting in chrome and firefox yields me an issue with your certificate and a large warning about how your site is potentially unsafe. That may be an issue with your certificate. It also may be a reason for poor returns if this has been going on for a long term.

Ditto, definitely makes the site feel less "legitimate".

Improvely ( https://www.improvely.com ) passed $10k/mo RR not too long ago and is about a year old. I run several other SaaS sites with a couple thousand a month in revenue each. It's enough that I never regret turning down the standing job offers I had at the end of college 3 years ago. Nothing really compared to the short-lived but very successful WordPress plugins I used to build and sell. A few days' work could t…

Improvely looks amazing. No wonder it's pulling $10K MRR. I'm curious - how many people are on the team?

Just me

Bingo Card Creator will probably come in at about $30k profit for the year, which is a disappointment, but not enough of one to justify working on it. (Sales are down due to Google sending less organic and AdWords traffic, though costs are down impressively too, due to less AdWords.)

I don't talk numbers about Appointment Reminder, but suffice it to say that it's both modestly successful and on the Long Slow SaaS Ramp of Death.

I get about $1.5k in monthly royalties from book sales and in residual sales of the course on Lifecycle emails that I did last year. Hoping to launch another project like that in the near future and plow some of the profits back into AR - people are expensive.

have a few side projects. here's a fun one: http://ShouldIDrinkThisFuckingBeer.com it is making absolutely zero money (yet), but the engagement on the site is INSANE. also, the site itself, and the people who come to it (and email/tweet/blog/instagram/vine/smoke signals/carrier pigeon/etc about it) are passionate and willing to support craft beer. besides the benefit of interacting with super cool, kick-ass people wh…
