The bootstrapping-type posts got me excited to try my hand at it. I'm at $5k/month (mostly) passive income right now, while also consulting 4 days a week.

Who wants to be hired helped me find my first freelancer gig.




If I can ask, what generates the most income, the Mac apps or the iOS one?


75% macOS, 25% iOS

macOS sales stable while iOS is growing fast.


What kind of passive income?


I make Mac [1] and iOS [2] apps.

[2]: https://vidcap.app/


The second link doesn't seem to work but the first one does, thanks for explaining. Is it just organic growth or do you buy ads or something?


It should be working now? I think it's on Apple, itunes.apple.com has been slow for days.

Mac apps == organic. iOS apps == mostly organic, I'm testing some ads for VidCap.


It works now indeed.


How did you determine product demand? Congrats!


If it takes < 1 month to build, and it fixes an issue you encounter every day, then it’s worth building an MVP of and putting it out there.
