I have many products that make more than $1000 a month. Tip - use the app stores to cut away the pain of having to market to users through vague means. App stores are a godsend if you are a good developer but bad marketer.
But that wouldn't be a web app. How about a web app? Anything else other than AppSumo?
Applying your startup skills to projects in the adult space will certainly help you wing your way to $1000/m v easily. Big data/machine learning of all the meta data associated on tube sites, repurposing content for tablets, recommendation engines, social layers that are delineated/firewalled from the mainstream social graph, hosting/live streaming services for adult content -- are all opportunity spaces that come to…
He runs one of the slickest sites tube sites out there.
It's not hard at all. Here's what you need to do: 1. Pick a tool you can build which will make money for people. 2. Build it for people who will pay. 3. Market to them. 4. Build it. 5. Ship it. 6. Market to them. (Over and over. It's not a one-time thing.) I've done it, and I teach other people to do it. (But the thing is - once you reach $1000, you might as well go further since the first $100 is the hardest, once y…
Define "hard." It is an eminently achievable goal to build a business which makes $1,000 a month. That isn't a "get into the NFL then win the Superbowl" goal, that is a "get into college" goal on the relative-risk-of-total-failure continuum. The process of doing it is fairly well understood and focused application of effort towards it makes it quite likely that you will succeed. It does require a bit of a mindset cha…
since development skill leads to success in software businesses like the ability to cook amazing waffles leads to successfully running a bed and breakfast. Well put.

I've been wanting to build a niche video/picture site for a while (to deal with all the CDN/scaling issues involved myself), and I've also been looking for a project I can use this Programming Collective Intelligence book on. Adult seems to be a good next project for me. The only initial unknown I can think of would be where content would come from unless it's user-supplied. Any other links/info/thoughts?

Many of these projects can be kept on "life-support" and still bring in a healthy profit if set up correctly. How do you know this? I'm genuinely curious; is this reasonable speculation (but still speculation) or do you have some concrete evidence of this working for people? What I've read lately about porn sites suggests that the days of easy money are gone, modulo a few outliers.

You should hack off 2-6 and describe step 1 in 7 steps.

Content is licensable. If you join affiliate programs you get sample content to use for free, too. Don't get into user-generated - too many legal and ethical issues.
I've seen some pretty disturbing content uploaded to even sites about video games... this is definitely good advice. Thanks for the tips.

Ask there: http://www.gfy.com . It's the largest adult industry board. A lot of content producers do business there.
