I’ve been running Bear Blog for a few years. It’s a privacy focused, super fast blogging platform, and is making well over $500/mo. It’s also a really fun tool to build and use, with a tight community.

There seems to be no mention of cost/pricing anywhere. Perhaps it's visible once signed up, as I presume it's not free if it's making money.

There's a cost to adding a custom domain and media storage at ~$5/mo depending on your country's purchasing power. I'll make a note to add it to the homepage somewhere :)

how did you promote this to find paying users?

It's just so damn fast and simple! And no GDPR banners and newsletter prompts! How do you make money? I can't see any pricing page.

Thanks! That was exactly what I was trying to escape from when I built it. The platform is free to use, but if you want to connect a custom domain (and a few other neat features) there's a ~$5/mo subscription. I'll make a note to add pricing to the homepage somewhere.
