4. Nureply ($48K/year)
Onur Genes (from Ankara, Turkey) started Nureply over 1 year ago.
Hello, I am Onur Geneş and I am the founder of Nureply. Before entering the SaaS world I had a Software Development Agency called epistio. It is still functioning but I wanted to get away from service businesses to make a SaaS product.
Today I am helping SaaS and agency owners to make more money only using emails and nothing else. Nureply makes $4,000 per month in the 4th month, and I am just starting!
