This is one of those rags to riches stories that inspire us all.
Not exactly. Peldi seems to be doing well so far, but I'd characterize his story to date as riches to rags (and hopefully to riches again). It's only been 7 weeks or so since he launched, so it might be a bit early to anoint balsamiq as a huge success.
I sure hope it is though. Very inspiring.
- axod 18y agoI agree. It just depends on if the revenue continues, or dries up once most people who want to buy it, have... Still a nice success story so far though.
- balsamiq 18y agoHi there, Peldi here. I also agree, I didn't think the "rags to riches" sentence applied to my situation either... axod, I agree that Mockups alone might not be a sustainable business (though it's doing MUCH better than I expected at the moment). My plan is to develop 2 new products a year, and to port them to as many Web Office platforms as it makes sense (i.e. turn them into plugins to wikis etc). I have an ever growing list of ideas for new products already. Together these sources of revenue should be enough to keep a small business going, we shall see...
- axod 18y agoSounds like a good plan :) Should also be a lot of tie ins/plugins/extras you can sell related to mockups I'd expect. Good luck
