Indie hacker's 10-stream income portfolio doubled product profit in 5 years via investing
kylegawley · x · 2026-10-23
Indie developer Kyle Gawley shares his diversified income portfolio: SaaS (Alertly), boilerplate, sponsors (X, YouTube, newsletter), courses (Zero To Paid), creator payouts, property, stocks, Bitcoin, cash interest, and music royalties.
His key point: it's not about running 10 SaaS products (high risk, hard to manage) — by investing in property, stocks, and Bitcoin, he doubled the profit from streams 1-4 in five years, while most income sources require low to zero maintenance.
