https://officesnapshots.com here -- I'd say it was 5 years of being a hobby before I decided to try to make it into my full-time job. Was a history teacher when I started the site.

Another 2 years or so of temping, miscellaneous web work, and anything else to pay the bills.

It has now been 2 years where the website is truly my full-time work and I'm looking to hire my first employee in the next few months. Pretty excited about that!

What's your business model like for Office Snapshots?

Primarily advertising based. I'd say that it resembles a magazine most.
