And if you needed to scale? If you needed more servers, bandwidth, or staff? Then what?

If you're making $10k/month and feeling pressure to grow, that sounds like a problem worth having.

At that point I don't think it would be hard to find an investor (other than the OP) to help out.

Most company's grow from either:

A) Borrowed money.

B) Rolling those profits back into the company.

Assuming lead time is less than a year and the profits are already significant both of these options can grow extremely fast. However, just because you can pay someone a reasonable wage to do what you do does not mean it's profitable. It's easy to throw a lot of time and money after a bad idea that only seems to be working.
