There seem to have been quite a few posts recently about people making good money from their own business on HN. They seem to fall into two categories:
a) SaaS products
b) online marketing
The posts about the later seem to be more popular. I'm guessing because it is a lot easier to make a quick buck with online marketing, however the results also seem to be less sustainable. I'm getting the feeling that a lot of this is down to luck. As I understand with a SaaS product, if you manage to make $20k in a month, you are probably able to do pretty much the same the next month. It doesn't depend so much on choosing whatever is a profitable niche that month and how well Google ranks you.
Anyway, I from this I have two questions / requests for posts:
a) Has anyone managed to sustainably get income from online marketing?
b) Has anyone managed to make a quick buck like this from a SasS product?
