How do you fund your projects, apps and websites? Especially in the early days, when you're just starting out and trying to grow.

For personal stuff, the biggest expense it's time. Everything else--in the early days--can probably be founded with a handful of dollars a month. That would be hosting expenses and a domain name. And hosting can probably be tackled without payment too.

If you have to spend more than that I would question if you are trying to do too much too soon.

Completely agree. If you can’t afford ~$6.50/month for hosting and a domain name and want VC funding instead, please seriously reconsider your priorities.

When my first site started making $0.21/day I was in positive profit territory with no investors to be beholden to.
