I started Gaggle Mail (https://gaggle.email) just over a year ago, it's making around $400 per month and growing nicely.
I've really enjoyed the experience watching something I have sole responsibility over grow and be appreciated by the people who use it.
I set out to build something I could be proud of and other people would find useful - in those terms it has been successful. And with another year or so of growth it could provide the majority of my income.
