Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?
I ran a collection of websites that I built (see bolted together) with PHP, MySQL, and nginx.  Most of them were curated media sites which made income with advertising revenue. A few services, most notably was a dating site I made for Mormons, which the church interestingly enough used a blind broker to buy and shut down within a year of going live.<p>I mostly ran the websites in to the ground with my custom wannabe frameworks on $5 dollar VPS's and lost interest. 2021 I sold the remaining three income generating websites for just shy of 1mill US.<p>I started the projects with a second person but ended up buying out their interest and running solo.  I consider it success because I managed to last over a decade making on avg $400,000/year gross with that business "umbrella".<p>Advertising and publishing changed and continues to change by leaps and bounds on a yearly schedule.  A lot good a lot bad, but its the same business over the years.
