I run Bear Blog [1] an opinionated, simple, and speedy blogging platform.
It runs as a freemium SaaS and is turning a healthy profit. There area about 15k blogs running on the platform right now.
I ran it completely free for about 2 and a half years. When I added the "upgrade" with some add-ons it jumped to $2k a month in a matter of weeks.
What do you find your customers are looking for that other blogging platforms don't provide?
As a paying customer, the combination of dead simple MD and the ability to run with my own domain. It’s easier to get a blog up than to make a sandwich.
How do you compare it with superblog? It is run by a Linkedin connection and I keep hearing about it.
