Ask HN: Any non-saas profitable side projects?

13 pointsby idleworxover 13 years ago
It seems most webapps these days are SAAS projects.<p>I'm curious, if you can share any small side-project you've worked on that has turned profitable (eg. makes at least 50$/month or so) and is not a SAAS app.

I sell revision notes from college students at <a href="http://www.oxbridgenotes.co.uk" rel="nofollow">http://www.oxbridgenotes.co.uk</a>. One module, £25.<p>I started the project by selling my old law notes from Oxford law school online, and, after a lot of work, the project makes enough money to meet my basic needs.<p>I've just added a commission-based system so if anyone, particularly smart Hacker News types, has typed up notes from college (their own material, not lecture handouts), I'll share the profits with them.
