I make exactly $0 pm on www.mixthread.com that I haven't launched. It took me 8 months part time to develop but have been waiting to graduate so I can devote time to running it like a business.

Re: How much money are you earning from your software products?
#112have 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…
It told me to go fuck myself when I put in Mephistopheles Stout by Avery. I think it's broken
well... did you? if not, go ahead, then report back.
but really, it's not an exhaustive list as there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of beers and new ones getting all of the time, so I'll make sure to add it. and like it says on the site, shoot an email if you've got suggestion ;)

#113Well 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
It is not the first time I hear that. For now its not possible.
I am currently very busy trying to launch my new project, but as soon as I have some spare time to dedicate I will try to build this feature.
Thanks for your feedback.

#114- Just sold my wordpress plugin business for $4k. - Run hosting company that just became slightly profitable. ~$110/mo fully passive affiliate commissions for referrals to recurring membership businesses. - Looking to enter into personal development niche.
How long have you been running the hosting company? What level of input does it require from you?
I basically started it to get away from Hostgator which along with other providers started to oversell anything under the sun and presented gradually degraded speed and quality of service.
So I got dedicated server to myself and fully configured it for hosting needs including automated iptables-based firewall protection and malware protection. Then i sent emails to my past web. dev clients out of which a few signed up.
Right off the bat I started to offer malware protection for which site5 charges $30+/mo (10 sites max) and thevault.com charges $40/mo (1 site).
I offer everything for $25/mo, unlimited sites, no BS, firewall, complete malware detection/protection, daily account-wide, off-site (off-continent actually) backups for which I renting specialized service in another country.
Originally I was hoping to just cover my costs but it started to become profitable already - so I plan to boost this side of effort.
People do see value in this where they feel protected and having fast service without doing anything.

#115Mastering Modern Payments[1] has earned more than $14k in revenue since I launched it in the middle of August. Real ongoing costs are $5/mo for the VM that the sales application sits on, and that's basically it. I figured that I broke even for time-spent when it hit $7k.

Re: How much money are you earning from your software products?
#117Improvely ( 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…
This seems strictly worse than a job at Google, Facebook or Twitter assuming the same 40 hour week. Are there lifestyle advantages?

Did you build your own control panel or are you using something like Cpanel?

What about a job at Google, Facebook or Twitter would be better? If you think they're strictly better, there must be some huge downside to my lifestyle I mentioned that I don't see. They offer worse hours, less pay, less autonomy, higher cost of living, and they're on the wrong end of the country if I want to keep close ties to relatives.

#120SharpPLM (document and quote management for small/med manufacturing companies) is still pretty early but I make $200/month. I feel like I am still figuring out product/market fit.
How early are you if you don't mind me asking? Are your secondary plans ready to go? (I assume you only have your current customers on the lowest plan based on your revenue)
