$500/Month Software Business (With Big Potential)

An annual thread on HackerNews…

• Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2024

One response 👇

I have a side business when I provide software for online and in-person festival payments (entry/food/drinks). If you take the total revenue (or profit) for the year and divide by 12 I’m well over the $500/mo limit.

I currently do 3 festivals a year which all pretty much fell in my lap, I’ve yet to start any sort of sales/marketing due to being busy with my day job/life and not wanting to grow too fast…

Each new festival has new needs but I’m starting to get fewer feature requests and less I need to build for each new client which is nice.

Lots more details in the full post + comments.

Pretty sure this is the business: GrubBux

Sounds like there’s a lot of potential for software like this, but OP isn’t in a position to capitalize.

Could you? 🤔

Or if you’re a marketing person, perhaps there’s a partnership opportunity there.
