During the past year, my cousin and I acquired an abandoned side project, monetized it and eventually sold it for ~$20,000.
We rebranded the project as RecordJoy (recordjoy.com) and put in many hours trying to grow the user base.
In the end, RecordJoy was generating around $700/mo and had 3000 registered users.
However, we were never able to truly find a scalable user acquisition channel so we ended up selling it recently.

Happy to answer any questions about the process for the Indiehackers community!
That is a good read! I’ve been looking at some properties, never taken te plunge. Good to read about your learnings.
