$100k revenue for JobBoardSearch

Well done to Rodrigo for making $100k in life-time revenue from his project, JobBoardSearch. It's a very simple directory of job boards so it's a reminder you don't always need to make something complicated to make money.

But here's the thing - job boards are highly profitable and people who make them want to get new users. So it makes sense to pay to get mentioned on JobBoardSearch.

OnePageLove acquired

It's nice to see an old school website get acquired. OnePageLove was started by Rob Hope in 2008 and showcases, as the name would suggest, cool one-page websites. It's been acquired, for an unknown sum, by Piet Terheyden who recently sold a similar website.

Can you vibe code it?

A pretty wild website here. It shows you a list of popular SaaS along with a prompt for vibe coding a clone so you can save money on software. It also shows how easy or hard it is to replace.

It has sold out 10 ad slots already (it looks like they were priced at $499) so the maker has already made good money from this: https://canivibecodeit.com

I made $10,800 last month

I had my best month from entrepreneurship ever! Really pleased to have made $10,800 in July, mostly from ghostwriting for founders.

It's my third consecutive month of growth so hoping August keeps that trend going. I've got a few people to follow up with so August should start off strong.

July also marked 7 years of being in business so I am going to do a write up soon on some lessons I've learned from.

Marketing Skill for sale

It's interesting to see Claude skills going up for sale on Gumroad. Andrea has used his marketing knowledge to a make a Claude skill for changes you can make in 15 days. I could see a lot of course makers do this, actually. It seems like a good way to monetize your knowledge. https://andreboso.gumroad.com/l/the-15-day-marketing-sprint
