It doesn't exactly qualify as a one-man business, but I'm running a few side projects bringing around $500/month:
- https://batgrowth.com https://batgrowth.com: A website monitoring the growth of The Brave browser / Basic Attention Token, in terms of publishers adoption (Fun fact: Wikipedia founder, Larry Sanger, tweeted about the site)
- https://ethereum-cours.com https://ethereum-cours.com: A CMC clone built mainly for fun, bringing some decent referral revenue
- My tech blog
I've built many more side projects, most were earning $0/month after a few months, but I've also sold 2 side projects, so overall it's worth the effort
- justaguyhere 7y agoHow does batgrowth make money? Interesting project.
- maxencecornet 7y agoDo you see the "Try out the Brave Browser" button on the main page ? It redirects towards this page: https://brave.com/bat684 https://brave.com/bat684 I get payed by Brave Software around 5$ for each user that download the browser and use it for at least 30 days
- justaguyhere 7y agoAh sorry, missed it. Thank you for clarifying.
- machbio 7y agojust FYI - "Try out the Brave Browser" button is blocked when using Ublock Origin
- kleinishere 7y agoCan you elaborate on how you ended up selling the 2 businesses? Was it via in-bounds or using a marketplace for similar kinds of businesses?
- maxencecornet 7y agoSure! - The first one was a trivia game made with javascript (Vue.js), it was a hit on Reddit around a month after launch and became the top post on a 900k subs subreddit, I was contacted soon after through reddit mail - The other one was sold on flippa, so they took a large cut of the sale
