Me? Drama ? Never! ;) Seriously, thanks for the initial advice, it helped me hugely! :-D
Make sure you buy the guy who recommended themeforest a beer. He sounds very wise and probably is totally awesome.

I just looked at prgmr (I hate that name), and it looks like you can get a really really tiny VPS for $48 for a year . That's silly cheap. I'm teaching a couple of the users on thingist python, and I've been wanting to give them accounts on a box so that they could have a real-world sandbox to play in...$48/yr lets me afford that pretty freaking easily. prgmr sounds freakishly awesome. What was that site the other da…
An Amazon EC2 Micro instance is pretty close to that price, plus you don't have to pay for it while it's not running, and you get to learn AWS too.
(It took a few weeks/months to get my money refunded...and forever convinced me that amazon's customer support is completely worthless)
I'm sure AWS works for some people, but that left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.
The fact that this article is so popular is sort of sad.That shows that a lot of people on HN are not making $500 a month from their web apps .We should have higher goals than this.
This is great, look forward to reading the second part. At first, the price seems expensive, but when I think about it, it's really not. You are offering a lot of functionality when it comes to scheduling tweets and that's a feature people will find super useful (unfortunately a lot of those people may be spammers, but at the end of the day as far as your concerned, your business is your business and theirs is theirs…
I'm not a huge advocate of freemium and I would not suggest lowering the price, however you may want to extend the free trial period a little longer. Thanks for the positive feedback :) Regarding the free trial, I'm kinda hesitant, as if you can't decide after 10 days, will another 10 really make that much of a difference? That said - I accept I could be wrong ;) How long do you think would be fair?
Hi everyone, blog post author here. Over the last 18 months I've learned an incredible amount from the users here on Hacker News, and I figured that it's about time I started giving something back. None of my web apps make serious money, but they bring in enough to make a difference to life, and I'm hoping that my articles will help others get on the same path - if not somewhat more successfully! ;) Please feel free…
please don't split your articles. however, it was a good read. thanks.

not sure if anyone has realized, but for SaaS projects the Extended version of the theme is required. So $1000 is what he should have paid for the admin panel...
I hope no one involved with ThemeForest finds out :)
Some feedback:
* [Edit: Looks like it's right there in the center and I'm just blind. :)] I couldn't find the pricing after the 10 day trial anywhere. This frustrated me and made me not want to try it at all without knowing what I was getting into.
* Twitter frowns upon auto-follow/unfollow services. You should be very careful with this. I recently had to make changes to my own service because the Twitter API policy team didn't like me telling people who unfollowed them.
Great work, I look forward to the second part!
Hey guys, not sure if anyone has realized, but for SaaS projects the Extended version of the theme is required. So $1000 is what he should have paid for the admin panel... I hope no one involved with ThemeForest finds out :)
The main thing you cannot do is offer the item up for resale either on its own or as part of a project. So you can use the item in a free game, but not in a game that is on sale. You can use the item in a website, but not in a web template that you sell.
Here are the full legal terms: http://themeforest.net/wiki/support/legal-terms/licensing-te...
Specifically, I wonder if you are referring to this line:
(d) Unless you have our prior written consent, you must not directly or indirectly license, sub-license, sell or resell or provide for free the Work or offer to do any of these things. All of these things are referred to as Resale.
(g) You must not incorporate the Work in a work which is created for Resale by you or your client.
I wonder what they mean by "indirectly selling" the Work. Does this apply to SaaS? What about Freemium products?
