Yes, unless you love your kids.
No, that's completely false. You can love your kids but still find it non-relaxing to take care of them. Just ask... literally any parent.

Don't ask me... Spending time with the kids, looking after them or not is super relaxing. It's the best bit of life.
I run a SaaS, and nothing makes money as easily as that React blog.
Essentially, you write content once, and a single email can pitch it to a whole new group of potential customers at nearly zero additional cost to you.
(of course, it took a year of blogging regularly to reach that point, but now if I write another book it gets additional sales at no additional cost to me, which feels wild compared to running a SaaS)

It auto-pops up a sign in link to Google when I visited it on Firefox, and it looks like it does the same on Chrome except Chrome blocks the pop up. Definitely fix that because I got a real sketchy feeling when it asked me to sign in upon immediately entering the page, not even clicking anything.
I made about $10,000 over a few years on Fiverr doing voiceover work. Then the algorithm changed and poof, no more orders, ever again.
Interesting, can you elaborate?
A couple years into it I started reading in the forums about changes to the search algorithm and how it was hammering people and killing their existing gigs. It was all speculation since it's not transparent. Shortly after that, I started to notice the random one off orders completely stopped. I was still getting orders from my regulars, but over time their business started to drop off. A lot of those customers were using my services to fulfill orders on their own gigs (lots of whiteboard animation videos, things like that). So I imagine some of them also dropped off due to the algorithm and I went with it.
When they were gone, it was over. I'm left with a gig with over 500 completed orders with a perfect 5 star rating, that never gets seen by anyone.
There isn't much in the way of SEO you can do - you have your gig description and you can add some keywords. There is a system for buying ads - I tried that out, but it didn't lead to any clicks.
Otherwise I wrote a book (real world cryptography) which is selling really well. Not going to replace a full time job though.
https://www.newaudiotechnology.com/ A shared friend introduced me to someone who claimed to be a struggling Hollywood genius. We were all drinking at some university party. He told us about all the cool shit he would do if only technology wasn't so bad. So I built a tool to solve his issues. To my surprise, he used it on the Expendables 3 blurays. Later, the audio crew for George Lukas' Red Tails praised the tool in…
