My first $100 is getting fed up with my existing feed reading and making https://feedmail.org/ available publicly. First $1000 is still crickets, but I'll probably get there soon. But I'm not really trying to profit, I just wanted a better reader for myself and figured I would make it available. Making it paid is mostly to greatly reduce the abuse opportunities.

First $100: Thirty copies sold of Video Hub App First $1,000: Three hundred copies sold of my Video Hub App https://videohubapp.com/ Though I do donate $3.50 of every sale to a cost-effective charity so in theory I made no money for a while until I bumped the price to $5 / copy.

Gifmemes

Gif memes creator tool for motion tracking images and text into gifs

My GIF making site https://gifmemes.io made over 1k, totally maybe >5k at this point from watermark removals and donations. What was crucial for growth was a few reddit frontpage memes with the link in the comments. Then just slow and steady google traffic increase and now it's stable for the past few months.
