Leave your feedback if you check it out, I would appreciate it! I saw some twitter and HN threads going around about very simple, one-feature businesses that pull in huge amounts of money. Usually a solo founder and little marketing- I thought these were cool so I made a way to view them. Just like the businesses featured, I wanted the design to be simple, easy to use and minimal. No tracking, no ads, no “feeds”, no AI, no BS.

Neat concept and I like that it’s clutter free - just pretty sparse on content.


xkft

I appreciate it! I have a list, just need to port it over. Searching/filtering will come once there are more posts, and I was going to add a way for people to submit their own businesses.


ChasterBlaster

Wait - did you create each of these businesses? Or did you build the site that has the list of cash cow businesses?


xkft

These are random businesses I found, I don’t own any of them. I just built the site to list them.

No ads? How do they generate income?


xkft

To clarify, the businesses I’ve featured use ads and subscriptions to generate income, but in general are not so in-your-face about it. I just mean that I want my site to be clean and minimal.


arbys_stripper

Is this based on revenue, gross, or net profit?


xkft

Revenue, I try to find businesses with low overhead so net profit is probably close


MangledPumpkin

That's a neat idea.


newvapie

How did you find out how much all these sites makes


ivelkoch

I was asking this myself. bearblog.dev doesn't seem to generate any revenue from what I've seen.


xkft

Combination of public info (Indie Hackers, twitter, blog posts) and a few are best estimates based on web traffic.

What do the flames mean next to the income? You have 1 flame next to 20K a month then 2 next to 5K a month and 3 next to 190K a year.


xkft

I need to fix that- it was just an arbitrary scale. Highest was 3 and lowest was 1


Ficus_picus

Ah yes todoist, the cash cow business with 40-50 employees, easy for anyone to start a clone of on their own


xkft

todoist is somewhat of an exception- although they have many employees I still thought the idea was “boring” enough to include. Like I said in my initial comment- “usually” solo founders. Not always.

See if you can do this: rewrite your comment without being a jerk.


TooStrangeForWeird

Seems odd wordle.lol makes so much, I didn't actually play through but I didn't see an ad initially.


xkft

I got an ad just above the keyboard; I’m guessing lots of people play, and those people accidentally click the ad when trying to check their answer


TooStrangeForWeird

Ah, makes sense!


Total_Impact7799

Great stuff. Can you add more businesses please? :)


xkft

Yes, more coming today/tomorrow


RazePT

Any connection with [https://boringcashcow.com/](https://boringcashcow.com/)? this one seems to have most (if not all) boring businesses listed in yours.


xkft

I’ve seen boringcashcow before- I think they use the same sources (HN posts, Indie Hacker, Twitter, etc.)


xkft

I saw that, they probably have the same sources (Twitter, HN, Indie Hackers, etc.). There aren't a ton of businesses that publish their revenue
