Hey, this looks good. We created a similar site (wecombinate) to allow artists and writers to combine their stories and art but ended up taking it down after a year or so, just couldn't get the traction. There are probably a lot of l

I'm looking into selling http://eventbookingpro.com . Had a bunch of sales but zero advertising. Needs someone who understands marketing to make some good money with this.

As a senior guy who's been programming a long time, I honestly don't know what I'd pick in answer to this question. Partly because I've done loads of cool (and no so cool) things over the years and partly because I don&

It's here: http://creatingplugins.com/book Like I said, it's mainly for beginners but I'm working on another one (using LeanPub they're awesome!) which will be much more in-depth.

I'm pretty sure you can hold up withdrawals. You just cancel the automatic transfers from your dashboard then when you want to do a transfer just schedule it manually (or through the API).

I make about $400 a month quite passively by selling software with Envato. Just the occasional comment and email which takes 5 - 10 minutes a day at most. I also sell a beginners book on creating and selling WordPress plugins which only se

I'd like to know too. I actually applied about 2 weeks ago and haven't heard a thing yet. I'd like to think it's just because they've been busy switching CEO's... :)

Pretty much identical to me. I make a point of telling them to email me details because I learned a long time ago that 99% of their phone calls are a waste of time. It's been a very long time since a recruiter got me a good job. Mostl

There are an unlimited number of books out there that you haven't published yourself :) Just write about something you know and enjoy the process.

I use Stripe a lot (I've developed various products that use it) and have only found a couple of limitations. 1) International bank transfers. They have international accounts but you can't send transfers to non-US accounts using

Thanks for the free book, looking forward to reading it! If you want to get the cover fixed cheap you can always check out Fiverr. I've had a few book covers done on there and they come out quite professional most of the time. Good luc

I posted a launch post for http://wecombinate.com and also linked http://paymentsplugin.com on HN as well as other places. For WeCombinate, I received 84 visits from HN or HN related (showhn.com etc) but for Payments

Funny you mention this because a friend and I were sick of video game review sites leaving obviously paid for 10/10 reviews (here's looking at you, Eurogamer). So we put together plans to build a "review the reviewers"

Thanks for the book suggestions. I've found the courses on those websites are usually aimed beginners though. Perhaps there really isn't a "deeper" part of JS the same way there is in C++? Maybe I'm asking for som

True. My thoughts too which is why I got into doing this about 6 months ago but since I've only had limited success I've had a few doubts recently. I wish I could find a really good online marketing guide. One aimed at developer

Hey Dan, I'm selling Wordpress plugins right now with nothing near the same success as you. Do you think it's a market that is too saturated to achieve the level of sales you saw? I'd also love to hear how you managed to att

It's a tough trade-off really. Envato have millions of members so I get regular sales but the commission rates are very unfavorable. I'm working on moving some of my more popular products from Envato marketplaces and onto my own

Right now only about $300 a month but it is fairly passive. I also do freelance work and sell other products. I recently started using Google AdWords as so far I've done very little marketing. Hopefully AdWords can improve that number

Not sure why it's "sad" that Hotmail is a top three provider? It works well and has a simple layout that is easy to use for most people, even those who are less technically minded. I'd say that was quite an achievemen

Yes, when I lived on Powell street in SF (right on the cable car tracks) ear plugs were essential but they can become a crutch too. I've also come to the same conclusion as you about having a fan in the room.
