I really have to echo this sentiment. Let me preface this by saying I have the utmost respect for all of these people. They're doing exactly what I want to do (SaaS products), and I follow each of their stories closely. However, it can be disheartening when I see Product X owner posting "I made 6 figures this year!", only to open the post and see 10% of their income is from Product X, and the other 90% is selling information to people on how to create their own product X (often accompanied by doing consulting gigs for other people). I know the info products are high quality, but it still feels a little 'spammy'. One of the reasons I'm getting into SaaS and not employment/consulting is because I want to work on my own schedule, on my own products, while traveling the world, without having to answer to anybody else, while still making more money than I could working as a developer in the Valley. Regardless of this, I still fully believe it can be done. As a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation, if Planscope's growth stays on the exact same linear growth path for 2013, it will make over $110k for the year. But I predict it will make a whole lot more than that as Brennan increases marketing and develops reliable customer acquisition channels resulting in exponential growth. Looking forward to the end of 2013 reports!
