I launched TikiToki Timeline Software (http://www.tiki-toki.com) in March. It is currently making about $250 a month from subscribers. This month I have also sold a $1500 single timeline license. Hopefully more of them in the future!

I am currently operating TikiToki as a side project from my main business as a freelance web developer. Aim to go full time with TikiToki at start of July.

This will be a bit of a gamble, given that what I earn from subscribers via TikiToki for a full month is less than what I would earn in half a day as a freelance developer!

We do it for love as much as the money!

Edit: If we want to go into detail, I should also add that I also earn about $80 a month from Adsense for a blog my wife and I run (http://www.casualgirlgamer.com) and about $25 a month via Big Fish's affiliates scheme. Peanuts really but it all adds up...



Man, that's great. I'm guessing the big clients would be news organizations. I would aggressive argue that this should be on their homepage as their updated news feed and then have the timeline move by the hour.


Beautiful timeline software is right. Great stuff.


Great looking site and good niche! Can TikiToki connect to Flickr or Facebook and create timelines from media in those sites?


Yes, we have Flickr integration. So you can add your Flickr images to your timeline. Facebook integration is in our roadmap, though not as yet a top priority.


Yeah this is bad ass, the site looks awesome. Great job! I'd totally pay for this service.


what blogging platform are you using for casualgirlgamer.com?


Something I rolled myself using Symphony CMS (http://symphony-cms.com/), a neat open source XSLT driven content management system.
