I had never really created anything before and wanted to learn Rails.
Built it and have been paying $10/mo in hosting for the last two years. I use it and have around 30 active users (couple hundred non-active). So I kind of keep it going just because I realize that the 30 people who use it have invested a lot of time entering scores and stuff.
My monetization strategy was to get traffic and rely on Google ads.
- amarcus 12y agoI wouldn't consider this as an example of having lost money. You built something with the intent of acquiring knowledge (Rails). It's also something that you use. I would say that it's a success based on your original goals for the project.
- cmaxwe 12y agoYeah I guess. I don't regret it but it has cost me money and when I was building it I was naive enough to think that I would make money on it.
