Visa List

A nomad's own visa headache became a free data site that ranks on Google - and quietly earns $22K/mo at 90% margin.
Will it work? · our read
Almost pure margin. But every dollar rides on Google. Four algorithm hits have halved his traffic before, and the visa data is public - anyone can copy it. His moat is SEO rank, rented not owned.

Revenue is founder-disclosed: about $22K/mo and about $200K/yr in 2022 (Starter Story interviews), plus Indie Hackers milestones (e.g., 350K monthly users, Jan 2020) and open metrics he publishes at dworks.io/open. Marked STATED/first-party. Traffic (500K->150K in COVID, then recovered), 90% margin, solo status and four Google algorithm hits are all founder-stated. The 'free data, paid intent' framing and the Google-dependency risk are documented facts; calling them the crux is our read. We never score you.
