Do you happen to have any examples of those kinds of products? I'd love to see what kinds of small SaaS apps are being run by one or two people as a lifestyle type of business.

Well, my company Drifty (http://drifty.com/ http://drifty.com/) was largely that (we are 6 people now), though I don't use the term lifestyle business. Not that I don't think it's cool, but it doesn't fit what I want out of the company (I'm addicted to growth). It's not really about just being a lifestyle business though. The point is that there is so much opportunity out there right now that you can just be a few people, with no outside capital and make way more than $20k/mo. I would think followgen was one example of that. I'd be surprised if they weren't doing way more than $20k by the time they shut down the v1 service. Even if you want to go it alone, this guy is going to making way more than $20k a month soon, if I guess right: https://www.baremetrics.io/ https://www.baremetrics.io/

  I run a B2B business with 2 other people. Our monthly costs are sub-$100/month and we pull in a little over $10K/month in profit. The business has only been operating for 4 months..and has been profitable from day one. Although this was successful from day one, it was a result of 2 or 3 pivots over 3 years. All of the failures and successes from those pivots were fine-tuned and put into the current company.

  Thank you, more examples if you have them please; this is inspiring stuff for someone who just wants a lifestyle biz working at home doing my own thing.
