Thanks for such long comment.
Ad.1) I will consider adding costs. But those are very little - hosting $30, some domains I buy and renew. Plus tax and health insurance that is specific for each country.
Ad.2) It looks very interesting to flip websites based on my stats. But what really matters is the good idea that sells. And it is hardest to get plenty of such.
Ad.3) She is happy that I am at home. It is harder to work like this because there are many disturbances. But it is a way better to be your own boss + in my case double the income + have a lot more free time.
1. I meant to ask how you might be able to streamline/automate your monthly reports like BCC has done.
2. What is your idea generation process? If that really is the sticking point, then consider reducing the friction or cost of going from idea to MVP. My example of going from idea to MVP in 6 hours is very streamlined. If I had enough money to spend on AdWords, I could potentially test 1 idea per week and dump the low performers. My point of friction here is traffic. The only honest, reliable way to get traffic (and potential interested customers) is with AdWords, which is not free.
3. Very good to get your personal experience on this subject.
Would you consider adding time into the statistics? I agree with nasmorn that the absolute income would not come close to covering cost of living expenses that I'm familiar with, so having a sense of working hours would provide some valuable context.
