Why would you start a new project if your current one is making $3K a week?

Not OP but I saw OP's post on Reddit /r/Entrepreneur Basically the first project is just a productized service which seems to be relatively hands off.

It's indeed hands off now (though I will be flying to Vietnam next week to meet with the designers).

Short answer: I just want to try to build cool stuff and make money along the way :-)

How do you manage to create a product in one week and begin making ~3k a week? What is that process like?

I'm not asking about starting a new one - but based on the wording it sounded like from inception of the project/idea to it being launched was 1 week. Seemed odd.

https://engineered.at Feed Aggregator with HN/Reddit style front end. Haven't put much time into it since deploying 6 months ago, hoping to do some work over the holidays. Next step is summaries/excerpts from each post, and automated hash tagging using some simple machine learning.

sup bros!

Since I am always trying to decide between various side projects to work on (and gadgets to choose from), I built a simple website that help me decide: https://HelpMeDecide.today

Not really finished because I got distracted with some other projects, but I will finish it one day.

1) http://officehourscards.com - Launched in Oct, digital and physical versions are selling pretty equally. It's for startup teams to prepare for their accelerator interview or just get together and learn more about their own product. Has been the most fun & most profitable project.

2) http://tinyhello.com - A gift site that started as a Fiverr gig that got really good feedback.

3) http://tkchecker.com - A simple WordPress plugin built in 2015 aimed at writers.

I think in total I've got around 20+ side projects, I've got a Slack app for volunteers that is the next to be finished. I try and use a different technology each time or at least learn something different.

TinyHello looks beautiful. May I ask how you design (UI/UX) these side projects?
