#3My experience is that hardest part is marketing.
Yesterday I have launched https://submit-sitemap.com and I have shared link to it on various platforms. How much traffic I got:
- reddit - side project - 4
- hacker news - 11 (+2 from different aggregators)
- I have added link into 2 communities on Google+ with around 200k people - 3
- producthunt - 3
- Facebook where I have shared it in group with 5k people - 5
- StumbleUpon - 1
And I think that I can subtract 1 from these numbers since I have clicked on them myself to test if those links works. :)

#4Trading cryptocurrency - in stock markets charting, Elliot wave don't really work as well (or not easy to use), you're trading against hyper experienced investors. In Bitcoin, ethereum, there is broad participation by less experienced investors and speculators, and there is much more emotions in the chart. It makes technical analysis very easy, because the patterns are obvious, easy to spot, much less likely to be manufactured. The transaction fees are also low allowing small positions. So when I see an opportunity I just put $500. Next thing you know I'm up $200 and I cash it out. One more thing is if I'm ever wrong, cryptocurrency is in a bull market, and the position would always get rescued as long as I am patient. Of course I do have discipline and do cut my losses. Transaction costs is cheap, and opportunities are frequent, so it's easy emotionally to do it. I have a few grand this year which is nice.
I do have a lot of money in stocks and with those I don't do nearly as well but clearly I learned enough to make a quid or two in crypto markets.

Explanation for StumbleUpon is, that I am sending X-Frame-Options DENY, so it never loads there. This explains no traffic from there.

#6I'm curious as to why you call it a "side hustle"?
Is the term "hustle" not extremely negative to you?
Merriam-Webster defines "hustle" as to push or shove someone in a rude way.
Urban Dictionary says "Anythin you need to do to make money... be it sellin cars, drugs, ya body. If you makin money, you hustlin."
Obviously, you don't seem to think that the word "hustle" has negative connotations, so I'm wondering how you came to that view?

I'd suggest getting an account and put in $500 you can afford to lose and start by googling for stock chart price and volume patterns and explanations and understand the idea behind them and evaluate whether the current crypto price and volume patterns match or not. And if so, what is your best guess for the next move? Have a read at Mr. Livermore's texts they are immensely useful.
