I run a niche analytics business for like $4000 MRR currently, genuinely 'vibe coded' it to try out LLM capacities (late comer on the LLM train here). I felt like the need was there and competition was weak, low tier SWE, overall really easy to take over and so I did and now I'm scaling up and expanding the product line.
It cost about 4 months of $200 claude, about $700 of proxies since launch, a very optimized bare metal hetzner server. 'Content creator' industry.
Bug bounty and security research keeps me a good bit above 500 per month...
I experienced an initial influx of positive results and rewards as I ramped up AI use initially. However, as time goes on, I expect that to trickle out at some point since everyone and their mother now has something that can hunt and find better bugs than me. so I will have to either find a better niche or do something else with my time, but for now - that is my only side project.
I quite enjoy it so I have been brainstorming ways to stay involved and contribute without getting behind the times. Any ideas are welcome. Lol.
I had a consulting customer refuse to believe me that his cheap housing was actually costing him more in downtime, one week to launch, i'm still working on it 4.5 years later.
I raw http://www.lokobee.com/
Doordash like restaurant food ordering website.
We have some active restaurants. Brings in few orders per restaurant per day.
But surprisingly we drive more traffic to some restaurants than uber eats.
Revenue(GMV) is better than $1000 per month.
Please keep this up. I wished someone would run a DoorDash competitor in my area after hearing that drivers and restaurants are both fed up with the incumbents, it’s so encouraging to hear of someone pulling it off.
I do, a Shopify app that helps merchants track orders across long manufacturing/fulfillment processes. I built it ages ago when I was working as manual labor at a printing company, watching everyone run around all day trying to figure out where each order was. I'd daydream about how I could improve things and make them more efficient, write my ideas down in a notebook, then go home and build it in the evening.
I think the app is something like 12 years old now, but I still work on it to this day. I'm adding a new feature to it right now, and would like to kick the Shopify dependency someday soon.
Thanks, guys. Very interesting to read. I’m glad that some people are earning more than 500. You’re awesome.

I’d like to start something like this, do you mind sharing what kind of business analytics it is?

No. But I am continuously improving the visibility of the project so I can pitch to teams for Sponsored Ads on the site.
The project: https://agentfriendlycode.com/
What is this about? Are you training AI through github repos?

Even at a glance it gave me confidence that the UX will be far superior than Uber Eats and DoorDash.
