Yield farming crypto currency, make well over $2k per month. Some farms pay 50 to 70% interest
I'd love to be able to find more than 10% consistently on something like USDC
I run HTTP Toolkit ( https://httptoolkit.com ) which passed $2k a couple of years back. No longer a side project, as it's made enough money for me to work on it full time for a fair while now, but it certainly started that way, and it's still a one-man show (plus many wonderful open-source contributors). I suspect that'll be a common theme in answers here though: if you have a side project making $2k a month, in most…
I was wondering what the early days of the journey looked like. - What did the first iteration of this product look like? Was it more or less similar, or substantially different from the spirit of httptoolkit today? - How did you go from (some semblance of a product) to first sale? / acquiring first customer? - did you spend anything on marketing/distribution?
It's a micro-SaaS for photographers who edit in Lightroom. Lets you reverse-engineer Lightroom edits from JPG files and download them as presets that you can apply on your own photos.
Took a month or two to reach $2k/mo, riding the wave of instagram's popularity in 2017-2018, plus the project went viral initially. However, the niche is ultimately too small to grow the revenue significantly. Still chugging along, almost 6 years later, though.

Any tips on making a nice animated gif like your homepage?
Not really! To be honest it's a bit of a hassle and I don't have good tooling or a proper setup. I write a little script, then just record myself manually clicking through it (which is boring, and takes a bunch of tries to do smoothly) and then load it into iMovie and trim it down and speed up any awkward slow bits. It's not a perfect solution at all, but it does the job and I only update it once a year or so. In a p…
My "side project" makes ~$5K/month but I am constantly worried about it not continuing to bring that in, so I keep my day job which is WFH and very easy. I also never share it because I am concerned about a competitor coming in. Took me about 6 months from publishing my app to hit $2k and another 3 months to hit $5k. Edit: to clarify, I sell a physical product, so there are added costs in terms of manufacturing, ship…

I found the high yields were always on shitcoins (where projects occasionally rug), or lost due to impermanent loss. I'd love to be able to find more than 10% consistently on something like USDC
I don't know if that counts, but I see it as a tech side project. Last year I've built for my gf, a custom D2C (direct to client) ecommerce webapp [0] for her handmade products. Then I started looking into PPC, tracking, social advertisement & marketing etc.. Now we are profitable avg ~8k / month only on retail. [0] https://yuma.gr
I always wonder who "owns" the property such as this in the event of a breakup

If it's Apache 2.0 how are you getting royalty payments from it?
>> If it's Apache 2.0 how are you getting royalty payments from it? It sounds like acknowledging the sponsors is "the right thing", good Karma, or simply advertising for them. Not everyone wants to just rip off open source and not give back, they're willing to share the wealth if you make it easy and let people know they're doing it? I need to set up github sponsors myself. We get the occasional request "how can I co…
Also I can recommend OpenCollective; I’m sure there are other similar solutions as well. It’s nice to be able to “expense” stuff and I’m sure donors appreciate transparency.

What will help fix that issue is my wife going shopping with the kids long enough for me to figure what is wrong. ;)
