This is a topic dear to my heart, there's not much I love talking about more than side-projects.

http://mocksup.com is my current side-project, and while it's yet to "go big", it's profitable and growing.

The site looks great! Just curious, how did you find your initial paid customers? Is it just through word-of-mouth or did you do anything more specific?

Thanks. Once we got the marketing pages/admin features to a place we thought were worth paying for, I posted a link on HN and from that we got covered by Mashable and several others. That got us profitable.

Now we're working on getting to that next level where one of us can stop freelancing and get a check from Mocksup every month.
