I like patio11's thing: http://www.bingocardcreator.com

Well, I don't really "like" it, as I could hardly care less about bingo cards, but it's a nice reminder that there is money even in what seems like really weird niches.

Just released my annual report, incidentally, if you care to read it.

http://kalzumeus.com/2008/12/21/bingo-card-creator-year-2008...

Highlights:

* $20.7k in sales from 1/1/2008 to 12/21/2008

* $10k in profit, which is about 62% YOY growth (did I hear something about a recession?)

* Works out to about $100 an hour. (It is a part-time thing at the moment.)

* Taking myself full-time in 2009, hopefully. (Got another product in the works.)
