It's doing about 1.5k/mth. Launched it 2 months ago. Took me 6 months to create it. Still adding content to it though, will probably take about 1 year more before I complete it.
The site that hosted the course did most of the marketing for me so I just focused on the product. Startup cost was about $150. Spent it on microphone and digital writing pad.

> Just a couple days ago, I read that three times as much money is raised from crowdfunding than from VC. Citation required. That doesn't sound possible.
I found the cite in an article by a VC, linked from HN. I'll post it for you but not just now as it will take me a while to dig up my bookmark, also I need to get some sleep. I'm skeptical too, but that's what the VC did claim.
Conversely, there was nearly $30B in VC money committed in 2013 alone: http://www.pwc.com/us/en/press-releases/2014/annual-venture-...
So it's not even close to being close. Maybe there's 3x more crowdsourced projects funded than companies backed, but most KS projects are funded for a few thousand dollars.
Today it has 1mio pageviews/month, PREMIUM Membership, Photoshop Plugin, AdSense and some "30-days" ads.
And photos are still FREE :)
This is fudging the question, but after many months of nights-and-weekends toiling, I launched https://www.land-of-nosh.com out of beta testing today and hope to be making $1,000+/month at some point! My wife has always hated the meal planning/recipe organization and sharing process and available tools (she'd used a few different products). After asking lots of friends for recommendations and hearing enough times, "I…
It's something I could see myself using, but it seems too US-centric at the moment :) . Still, I'll give it a try :)
Do you have an e-mail or something for feedback?
My site with totally free photos. I made it because no stock photo agency/site want my photos. — http://www.picjumbo.com Today it has 1mio pageviews/month, PREMIUM Membership, Photoshop Plugin, AdSense and some "30-days" ads. And photos are still FREE :)

It looks REALLY nice, congratulations. It's something I could see myself using, but it seems too US-centric at the moment :) . Still, I'll give it a try :) Do you have an e-mail or something for feedback?
Feel free to e-mail me directly (in my profile) or there's a feedback form on the site (in the profile navigation dropdown). I'd love to hear your thoughts!
I created an iOS app http://ideon.co/theconverted/ as a side project. I've had hopes to be able to survive entirely on revenue from my own projects instead of relying on client work. I'm very far from that goal at this point, but the extra income is nice.
Looks awesome, do you mind expanding a bit on how the GUI/animations were built?

Is there a reason this isn't scaled out as a service?
SEC rules. To do that you need become a trading advisor (similar to a hedge fund), which requires that you have made over $200k/yr for the last 3 years or that you have $2.5Mil in your own assets. While I've done consistently well so far, I've only been at it full force a few years, and I started with my own cash which isn't nearly that much.

Thanks! :) Fair critique for being too US-centric. I see you're from Uruguay! My wife grew up in Ecuador, is fluent in Spanish and still has family there, so there could be some I18N on the horizon!

Best of luck :)
Edit: also, U$ 8 / month is a huge barrier for international adoption.
