#33I'm a designer-turned-developer and created a nice-looking solitaire card game website: https://online-solitaire.com/ . It's making me around $1500 a month. My approach was to find a nice of apps that where already popular and then see if I could make it better.
How many visitors per month do you have?
I get around 600k pageviews a month. So A LOT of returning visitors.

Make it 1 dollar a month. let us talk to each other. Keep our profile there for years without us having to take an action. if somebody finds me and wants to talk to me - I want to get an email about it. I don't understand why such a simple app (browse, filter, message, get notifications) has to cost 10/15 bucks a month. make it 10 a year.

#35I made a course on a small topic which is keyword research/SEO related and hosted on Udemy. It took me a week to create the whole thing since then I haven't done anything except answering a few questions of the students. It's 99% passive. I am making around $150 per month. This is the simple method I followed (CPSO) Customer => Problem => Solution => Offer 1.) find a topic with enough interest (customer finding activ…
The course looks very phenomenal
I might buy it since SEO is really important as it gets you to the right audience

#36What does passive income mean to you? Is it passive income when a YouTuber gets paid whenever someone views a video, but spends hundreds of hours making great content and building an audience? Is SaaS MRR passive income after you've spent hundreds or thousands of hours building a product and acquiring customers? Is it passive income when an author receives royalties after spending months writing, publishing, and mark…
That’s a great advice I have been blogging since two years now and I’m afraid if I monetize that people will stop reading it as I know devs hate seeing ads

> Create open source software that other people need, then sell training videos on how to use it. Please don't do this, I personally hate this motivation for Open Source development. The incentive of the project developer is not aligned with the user. The developer has the incentive to make the software complex and unintuitive, so that people require training to use it. Any proposed changes to make the project easier…
Agreed monetization is really hard on open source software

I have seen people doing that but I’m afraid people below 18 might start using that

Any tips on becoming a developer turned designer? I'd be interested in that.
That's a tough one. One suggestion would be "don't". Most companies want either one or the other. I'm not a brilliant developer or a brilliant designer, which makes it hard for me to find my role in bigger companies. On the other hand I can make things like https://online-solitaire.com/ and https://habitualapp.io/ as a one-man operation.
Honestly i love that
Since as a one man operation you are owning the entire process compared to working for a company where things are done by other people too both have its pros and cons
