Honestly, at $1,000/mo, I would argue that running a web app by yourself simply isn’t worth the stress and inconvenience. After expenses, you’re probably looking at about $750/mo in profit, and there are much easier and more sustainable ways to grow your income without the challenges of a business that’s supposed to be open 24x7. I have no idea what your long term plans would be, but if it’s only ever going to be a side project, I would think it’s not the best option. However, if you truly want to build and grow it, then it’s a lot easier than most people think.
