What site is that? :)
- sixQuarks 6y agoI knew someone would ask. Sorry but I’m not gonna reveal it, don’t want competition. I will say it’s been online for over a decade, information rich, with affiliate lead generation as the main source of income.
- DaiPlusPlus 6y agoIf it's the Milliondollarhomepage.com then it isn't quite living up to its legacy ;)
- sixQuarks 6y agoActually, the founder of that site started calm.com - which is valued at over $1 billion now. Not too shabby
- kreetx 6y agoHah! But great work otherwise then. But did it start out as a hobby, or was it entirely planned as a business?
- sixQuarks 6y agoIt was planned as a business from the start. I was running a different site that started as a hobby, and one of the affiliate links was performing well even though it wasn’t highly targeted to the audience. I knew there was a biz opportunity there.
- ShorsHammer 6y agoWhy on Earth would you tell anyone here that? I'm actually quite amazed at most of the Show HN posts with commercial products. Unless you are actually aiming towards developer or software shop dollars the risk/reward seems incredibly off kilter.
- sixQuarks 6y agoexactly, this is a forum full of technically minded entrepreneurs, many of whom are looking for ideas.
