It was built around color palettes... but is much more than that now. We have... professional desktop color & vector image editing software. Themeleon is a twitter profile tool linked right from Twitter.com. A creative community with 2M visitors per month and ad revenue on those pageviews.

It's enough to keep the doors open and the company growing... but CreativeMarket.com will be where the meat of our revenue will come from.

At a CPM of $1 and 10 impressions per visitor that only comes out to $10,000/month. Even if I'm off by 10x on the impressions per visitor it's still not a huge amount of money.

You're forgetting software sales (ColorSchemer), t-shirt sales and fabric printing.

I would kill for $10k per month.

It's not enough to support a startup though, it's barely enough for one full-time developer.

You can always put more than one ad per page, and CPMs go a good bit higher than $1.
