Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?
I'm doing <a href="http://justaddcontent.com" rel="nofollow">http://justaddcontent.com</a> solo and self-funded.  It turned into a bigger project that I anticipated, especially for my first product.<p>I started working on it full-time in October.  It started as a hobby project about two years ago.  It took particularly long because I have a non-technical, military background and had to teach myself to code, design, write copy, marketing, etc.  It's been a fun challenge.<p>I still work on it 12-14hrs a day on average, but I still love it and I love the problem I'm solving.  The last few months I started focusing on product again and my customers absolutely love it, which is awesome.  Now I'm turning my attention back to marketing.<p>Like the other guys, I'm not making millions yet, but I'm 100% self-funded and in no danger of running out of money.  I continue to put 100% of what I make back in the business after my essentials.<p>I'm not sure when I'll start hiring, but I have some pretty major plans that I'll need help executing.  It's just one of those things where it'll completely change the game, but it'll also change the dynamic of the business.
