From experience majority of side projects that set out to make money, don’t make any money.
And the projects have to make a large amount of money to be better than a typical software developer salary.
Consider then that you’re probably already working 40 hours, where are you finding the time for a sustainable side project that generates income?
That takes months, years to get to any reasonable amount of income.
That being said, I have made money from side projects, I made 1/5 of my yearly salary in about 1 month of conception (from a software sale).
But that was a pure fluke, right place right time right tool right amount of luck. I’ve been making side projects for years, 9/10 of my projects lose me money lol
