#52I sell cheap but high-quality Anki decks for language learning: https://deckmill.com Created using a mix of automation (TTS, machine translation, etc.) and human reviews. Built it with a friend, making around $500 a month, very stable over the last couple of years. Spend 1 or 2 hours a month on it, mostly customer support.

#54I'm one of the cofounders of PriceTable. [1] It has been a side project since 2018 or so. About a year and a half ago I posted about it on HN [2] and back then our revenue was $2,500/mo. We recently passed the $6,000/mo. At this point we have a few very happy customers who make up the bulk of our revenue. We have been trying to grow more, but our challenge is that we haven't been able to figure out a cost-effective w…

It's mostly CRUD, and the stack is very boring: Rails/Hotwire/Bootstrap, about 10k lines (we have apps for the staff on the ground, agents and agencies that we partner with, and some other stuff in there). The tricky part of handling the bookings is that on any given day we have a limited number of horses and multiple types of rides: 3 trails at 10AM, 1 trail at 3PM. A few times a month we'll max out the horses and n…
An absolutely amazing story. I’ve wondered for a while how powerful bringing skilled software engineers (let’s be honest, people don’t give us credit for the amount of actual business skill is required to effectively do this job) into small businesses would work. Most people who don’t work in tech or advertising don’t think so much about tracking everything . It presents a pretty big opportunity for both small busine…
Some fun factoids:
* typical rider is 35-44. Less than 10% of riders are under the age of 24,
* about half of people book when they're in Mexico
* average lead time is 7 days
* about 66% of riders have riding exp; about 33% consider themselves "novice" or "expert" riders
* 45% of riders are male, 55% are female
* 1 rider reported they are from Antartica

> I get to say I am a co-owner in a Mexican horse ranc You must get business cards made and start distributing them to friends and family whenever you get the chance. Not for marketing - to brag and to be able to be mildly annoying.
It's definitely my favorite fun fact. I'm grow up in the city but I spent a few summer days on a horse growing up. One of my earliest memories was horseback riding with my mom. I must have been no older than 18 months.

#59I sell handmade sculptures of influential people and famous monuments on Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/shop/jurgenstudio . Revenue is 2-6k USD depending on the season. I hired someone part time who took over production and shipping. it's mostly passive revenue for me apart from growing the business by developing new products when I feel like it. The profit margin is around 50% after all material and labor costs are pai…

Awesome work! Would you mind sharing? I live in Mexico City and would love to try horse back riding.
Sure. We're in Vallarta if you ever make it out this way. :) https://ranchoelcharro.com Obligatory disclosure: some semblance of ownership.
