i built a ramen profitable business with @jj
it's literally a money printer
we print and mail checks for people
growth is slow, revenue is only a few hundred dollars a month right now
today i spent a few hours fixing a bug affecting one user so we could get their first check mailed with us out
3 hours of work for $7 in revenue
despite the humble revenue, it's just been really fun to build, and see things like SEO pay off over time
and the more time we give it, the more it can grow
some days like today though I wonder if it's worth the time and effort for such a small reward
but when jj and I have talked about shutting it down, we just love our little business too much. it's fun!
we're doing lots of things that "don't scale" right now (we hand print, seal, stamp, and mail to post office each check), but every so often I'll spend a few hours on it and we'll automate parts of the process
it's exciting imaging that it could slowly grow itself to $1k / mo or $10k/mo
and dreaming that it could maybe grow one day to $5k, or $10k/mo hypes me up and keeps me going
so for now we'll keep improving things, and see where it takes us :) 8 replies
