Ask HN: Do you have a profitable side project? How long did it take to achieve?
Here's a brief list!<p>* Wakeup.io - Simple Phone Wake-up Calls @ <a href="https://wakeup.io" rel="nofollow">https://wakeup.io</a> and it is fully automated and runs itself with actually really good profits.  It was built in 2-3 days.<p>* GetProve, Simple Phone Verification @ <a href="https://getprove.com" rel="nofollow">https://getprove.com</a> and it is fully automated and runs itself with again, really good profits.  It was built in a week or so.<p>* Teelaunch, Kickstarter/Indiegogo Fulfillment Service (exited/sold) <a href="http://teelaunch.com" rel="nofollow">http://teelaunch.com</a> (the site is different now than it used to be here <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140110204830/https://teelaunch.com/" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20140110204830/https://teelaunch...</a>).  As you can see from Wayback Machine, the site was just a landing page when I had it... took me day to put it up!<p>* Standard Signature, Email Signature Automation for Gmail Business @ <a href="https://standardsignature.com/" rel="nofollow">https://standardsignature.com/</a> (built in 48 hours)<p>* Glazed, a Rapid MVP boilerplate for NodeJS @ <a href="http://glazed.io" rel="nofollow">http://glazed.io</a> (built in a week or so, but this was work/thoughts accumulated over like 5+ years of hacking - this landed me paying clients, so I still consider it a side project)<p>* Asynchrosend, a MailChimp competitor (site is down now, but I did have paying clients and successful startups like Notehall.com had used it), built in a week in college!<p>* I have a bunch, at least 20 more on my list TODO still, if you want to build one with me let me know!  I really would love to find super talented people, or people that are motivated.  It's really hard to find <i>good</i> people if you know what I mean.  I am not working on these right now though as I'm solely focused on one big project.<p>I have a bunch more projects I've built, that are also profitable that I can share.  Email me and I can share more!<p><i>Update #1</i> - I really wanted to mention the most important thing about this.  I read a Max Klein blog post that flipped the switch on me before to get into this hack and ship fast mode; it was something like build small little projects, but build a dozen of them.  Once you build and release one quickly, it's addictive.  You soon start to release more and more, and you get so creative and confident.  You can literally build ANYTHING you want in a matter of days if you truly focus and WANT to.<p><i>Update #2</i> - I added a few more side projects since this topic is fun!
