If you're smart enough to build something that 50k web developers use every month then turning that into six figures is straightforward. How? I have 50k visitors interested in other topics, but wouldn't know how to turn that into any money at all. BCC's for loop and random number generator What is BCC?

patio11 built a downloadable and then web application named Bingo Card Creator. He tends to downplay it as "just a random number generator". He documented the development process from soup to nuts here: http://www.kalzumeus.com/start-here-if-youre-new/ http://www.kalzumeus.com/start-here-if-youre-new/

BCC is Bingo Card Creator. The broad strokes of making money from a tight, commercially relevant audience: collect their email addresses by promising you'll send them something valuable, send them something valuable, continue doing so, offer them the opportunity to purchase something one step more advanced than that for a meaningful amount of money. This may or may not be achievable from the position you're in, since "50k visitors across a portfolio of websites" is possibly quite different in character from "50k highly paid professionals with congruent interests who make a habit of coming to your site to solve a problem which implies the existence of a second problem that has an active market in solutions available and lots of money sloshing around in customer acquisition budgets among them." All of the sub phrases there suggest valuable things to shoot for in new projects, by the way. Given the choice between a website which could be used by anyone in St. Louis or anyone in a well-paid profession of equivalent size, pick the second. Given the choice of serving nail artists or lawyers, pick lawyers. Given the choice of solving a problem which is peripheral to their interests or one which is more central, pick the central one. Given the choice of "totally noncommercializable" versus "abuts a very commercial field", pick the second one. etc

50k visitors is not the same as 50k visitors that are all web developers. What patio11 is saying is that you need to either add more value to your product, or make sure your simple product is used by people that see value in your product.
