One of the habits I've had over the years is trying to figure out the business models of websites or companies that I came across. I would ask myself - 'How does this thing make money?'
I would then question whether that was something I could apply to my business...or potential business idea.
I think it could be really useful for indie hackers to share their business model.
So what is your business model? Or planned business model?

Great question.
Keeping it simple with Versoly:
Might be adding a service part where we do the copywriting for the customers landing page:
You've got to include the 'https' for your links to work :)
Thanks :)
https://organichits.co - Subscriptions
https://hexcolor.co - Adsense, Affiliate programs (Amazon, etc)
https://plchldr.co - Affiliate programs
Ok here goes:
GrowYourClicks
MouseCrafted
Desket
Five Ideas A Day
WorkForThem
Cooee Network
That's a really diverse set of projects, well done!
A slight correction to your list above:
Thank you so much for flagging these issues, will 100% tick them off today :)
I like this list as it shows one thing: simplicity works
Cheers Patric :)
Curious do you mind sharing mrr? Curious how small/simple side projects do... I'd love to have something that just does 1k a month on top my freelancing.
None of my businesses is MRR there all one-off payments. My next side project will have an MRR model for sure.
I'm wanting to start an uptime monitor and a wp maintenance service, and hosting. My plan is create services that complement each other so I can gain customers for one product from one of the others.
I consider 1-offs to be MRR if for instance you 'avg' 5 sales per month at $50 your MRR would then be 250.... though subscription models seem like the way to go to have more sustainable numbers and a livelier portfolio.
My business model for https://frequently.io is very simple.
I run it as a freemium product. Anyone can set up a free FAQ / knowledge base with the majority of the features.
The only paid plan costs just $10/month and unlocks additional features.
To be honest, I'm still figuring it out for testcheck.co
But at the moment, I'm basically selling a service where a the deliverable is a document:
I'm planning on A/B testing all of the price points sooner or later.
I'll start.
With Ministry of Testing we:
PRIVASiM is a simulator game and a platform for privacy apps such as duck duck go, brave and VPN services.
https://pixxibook.com - sell physical book.
Our USP is in the automagical layout but it's only available in the printed book, no PDFs.
Draftss.com - Unlimited graphic design & Web UI/UX with code
Productized service that offers unlimited design with a subscription model
enziano.com
Android Apps
HochzeitDIY.com
I run https://embedgear.cloud - A knowledge base/help center to basically ease the burden of customer support. ( Im still trying to come up with a better name)
Right now I'm not selling anything as I'm in need of beta tester and would like to polish my service a bit more, even though it already offers a lot of "premium" features. My planned business model is to sell a monthly subscription i.e. turn into a SaaS, hopefully it works out.
The response on my release post on indiehacker was kind of underwhelming(non-existent?), however, if you would like to give me some kind of feedback on the landing page or anything else I'd extremely appreciate it! Here's my post https://www.indiehackers.com/post/12abe2475f
Https://www.tunnelhero.com
Charge a monthly fee of $9.99 or a yearly fee of $99.99 for our VPN service
With CryptoTrader.Tax we charge a one-off fee for each tax season a user wishes to generate a report for.
Moving forward, we are hoping to setup an annual subscription service targeted towards CPAs and other tax professionals who are wanting to manage reporting for multiple clients.
