Bootstrapping
My cost for running these businesses is Twitter API, that costs $200 a month. The other bills are just hosting the websites, the database — usually I think it's around $400 a month is what I pay. Very good margins, like over 95%.

Run Two Apps At $10K MRR On $600 Of Costs And 95-Plus Percent Margins From Pure Organic

Two apps generating $10K MRR run on ~$600/month in fixed costs: $200 Twitter API plus ~$400 hosting and database. Zero ad spend (everything is organic TikTok/Instagram), no employees, ShipFast boilerplate plus Supabase to skip infra work. Living in mom's basement keeps personal burn near zero, so the margin actually compounds into runway.
