Freckle earns nearly $10,000/mo in revenue: http://letsfreckle.com/

Our blog is kinda sparse now but I'm fairly open on HN. :) And I'll be writing more about business specifically at http://unicornfree.com/.

EDIT: Totally bootstrapped, launched Dec 2008. There are 4 of us, but I'm the owner. We have a profit-sharing agreement with our partners.



Your shit-free religion seems delicious. Especially this part:

"... The discussion always seems to revolve around funding, or getting acquired, and retiring.

Or growth. Or hiring. Or tech tricks. Or it’s about affiliates and IM products, and getting rich off teaching people’s parrots to talk.

Or it’s about hyper-optimization, and split-testing which way you should orient the toilet paper roll. (The answer is over, not under, by the way.)

Or everyone in the group agrees that they are working on the next big breakthrough, when really they’re just building a social network for dogs.

..."

I feel your pain -I'm also reading HN. Looking forward seeing your take.


Thanks for making my day in two ways: a great example of a successful startup doing good things, and a pretty hilarious rant on your blog.

Bookmarked both the blog and the service!
