Bootstrapped the entire operation for three years before it started generating any revenue. Took about 5 months from turning on the monetization aspect before it broke even month to month...We're netting about $3k profit each month now.
- petervandijck 16y ago"Profit" as in after everyone gets paid?
- oziumjinx 16y agoYep, after everything is said and done...hosting, tools, developers, etc.
- petervandijck 16y agoIncluding you though?
- oziumjinx 16y agoEverything I take out I consider profit. My day time job pays the mortgage and all the bills. Each month I look at the revenue and determine an arbitrary amount to pull out for myself.
- tworats 16y agoHow were you able to bootstrap for 3 years? Were you consulting on the side?
- oziumjinx 16y agoThis was our "night time and weekends" project. I still have a full time job. FYI, I do not write code. We have three very part time developers building it.
