Making over $55k on a side project, in 6 months

As a solo creator myself, I'm always been obsessing over and on the look out for stories of one-person businesses / side hustles and how they made it.

So I went down the rabbit hole and spent the last weekend searching and curating over 80 stories of indie creators / one person business shared how they started and run their business / side hustle.

Here are some of my personal favorites:

  1. A one-man design agency making $50k monthly recurring revenue
  2. My side project made $55,878.77 in 6 months
  3. $120k per year running a one-person newsletter business
  4. My Telegram bot for searching cheap flights reached $1500 in monthly revenue
  5. I started a productized service and went from idea to $10k MRR in 3.5 months

I've organised the stories into 8 different business categories (Eg: SaaS, Blog, Newsletter, Niche Site etc)
