Thanks! It's anywhere from $100 to $200 a month, more around Christmas time.

This is great! Is all of that income from affiliate links? Does it take up a lot of your time curating the list of items? Where do you get most of your traffic from?
99% of the income is affiliate links. I have adsense on there, but haven't really made any money on it. Finding the products is the worst part about it, i kind of restricted myself with the "under $15" theme. It sat dormant for months, but I'm going to try and get a new product up every day. As far as traffic goes, I kind of got lucky. I had an old Tumblr Blog with a domain name years ago. Tumblr used to have this program where a few people were curators for each category. This lead to a ton of followers and reblogs. They shut that program down and I've since stopped working on that blog, so I forward the domain to this new site. Still gets traffic daily. The rest is pinterest.
I'm also interested about how you curate the list of products. Do you have some kind of semi-automatic system or something? Or you just add them by hand?
When I first built it I tried to automate that part of it, but had mixed results, nothing that grabbed attention. I just post things I find cool now.
Do you market it at all?
Generally just whenever a thread like this pops up here or on Reddit.
