I built https://markdownbin.com/ because a friend was complaining something like this doesn't exist. Nobody uses it and probably that's why it doesn't exist.
Like everyone here, I get ideas for side projects that might be profitable. At some point, I started looking at the likelihood of success, the time I'd invest, and how much I'd make. The answer is almost always that I'm better off dedicating the time to my day job, or even just relaxing so I'm better at my job. That said, I get it. You get some financial freedom, you get to explore a project that interests you for yo…
I won't make more money by dedicating more time or energy at my day job. It's fixed.

My feedback, product looks great, packaging looks great. I would not want to buy the Beef & Cheddar. Compare the label of Beef & Cheddar to Turkey & Cinnamon. Turkey & Cinnamon have four simple ingredients, Turkey, Yogurt Powder, Whole Wheat Flour, Cinnamon. Compare that to Beef & Cheddar, there are so many things in that ingredient list by comparison. When I think of food that is 'good for you' I want to see simple…
Thanks for the feedback! All the extra stuff on the B&C comes from the cheddar cheese powder - for the most part they're natural ingredients (excluding things like the yellow color, etc.), but you're right, it doesn't look great. Once we get low on my current supply of cheese powder, I'm going to look into getting a food dehydrator to make my own cheese powder.
I think the most informative one I read was on something like shtf fourms. It stayed tame, other than everyone wanting to buy the dehydrator after the author was done.
It's probably not what you meant, but I recently created a weekend project bot that scans facebook for apartments rental ads. Thanks to this bot, I landed an opportunity I wouldn't have catch otherwise, saving me 6,000$ a year. Assuming I will hold my new apartment for 3 years, this is a net savings of 18,000$. I haven't sold anything, but yet I created something that "generated money" for me. My code is open source…
Do other people here in the US have this experience as well? I was thinking it'd be Facebook marketplace, craigslist, and apartment sites (like apartments.com)

There's also that many people have pretty fixed salary and evolution in their company. I won't make more money by dedicating more time or energy at my day job. It's fixed.
I really don't like talking about my side projects, so I guess they all qualify, but I'm particularly excited about one at the moment. Right now I'm working on a dog treat business - I make a treat mix that you add water to and freeze for a meat-based frozen treat. I feel really good about the product and the packaging design (and this is the first time I've ever worked on any kind of a physical product, so it's real…
However, I built Pixmap for Android to learn Android dev. It makes a couple dollars a month... :)

I built FastComments as a tool for myself, but it's starting to gather bigger and bigger customers.
I made almost 6 figures a year on an affiliate website promoting natural health products, when they were extremely popular back in 2006. I would stay awake some nights and jot down every product mentioned in overnight infomercials (before I knew what TiVo was). then write a review on them the next day. Thousands of people would search for “X review” in the days after watching those infomercials and I would rank #1 be…

Now we’ve just launched payments - so we have to see some time about the results.
I used to sell extra naughty bikinis online, in addition to being a consultant for distributed real-time machine learning. People had a hard time combining the image of a nerd in the basement with that of a flashy sales guy surrounded by models. So I usually didn't mention the bikinis to allow me to charge full nerd pricing for my coding. This site project brought in roughly €500 monthly with almost no work, because…
How did you charge the marketing contractor?
I wanted to reached out to marketing contractor but haven’t had much information
Thank you!
