DNSimple is a side project? I would never have guessed; it's such an awesome service. Keep up the good work!
I once did a fixed bid contract that was sized by someone else at $150K. I completed the bulk of the work over three days. I spent about 40 hours on it total including the production roll out.

I started Stormpulse purely as a fun hobby project in late 2004. Incorporated in 2007. Can't share revenue numbers, but this year we should be profitable with a team of 5.

After a football-related post on my personal blog got a surprising amount of search traffic, I threw up a quick Blogger blog with similar posts for a few football teams. The traffic rolled in. I threw on some more and eventually added baseball which was a much bigger source of traffic. Right now baseball season is earning me about $10 a week. I think I've spent less than 30 hours on it total. Not a great return on my…

How many people are visiting the page? I am curious to hear how much a well-targeted Amazon ad can extract from a visitor.
During the month where I made about $277, I had around 80k visitors.
I've got a site collating interior design photos for inspiration. Makes about US$2k+/mo fairly passively from ads. I would spend maybe 10 minutes on it every six or so months.
I'd like do do something similar for landscaping inspiration. Any advice?
