$0 a month on http://numberduck.com Hopefully that's because I'm competing against some established and open source projects, so anything with a lesser feature set isn't good enough for people to pay. Now I'm slogging away on features to be the best, then hopefully the sales will follow.

The compensation at these is substantially better than what you've mentioned. Some offer regional offices around the country and world. I can see how the extra autonomy and reduced workload would be nice, but I'm not sure you can judge without trying both.
Glassdoor/Salary.com say an experienced Google software engineer makes $150k/year (including benefits and bonuses). That'd be a big pay cut. So would paying more to rent a one-bedroom apartment out there than I pay to mortgage my 4-bedroom detached house. As for "trying both", I have. I did the internship rounds while in college. Spent 6 months on the west coast with Microsoft, and a year at two smaller companies, as…
I make about 100 Euro/mo with PhotoSlim ( http://photoslimhq.com ), a simple windows software to reduce the size of pictures. I built it although there are lot's of apps for image resizing. But they all had either too many options or were too complicated. So i tried to build the simplest possible solution for this problem. I didn't really believe, that anyone would buy it, since there are a lot of free alternatives.…
We are mostly using OSX, but it is really a struggle to learn people to run their images through an optimizer.
have a few side projects. here's a fun one: http://ShouldIDrinkThisFuckingBeer.com it is making absolutely zero money (yet), but the engagement on the site is INSANE. also, the site itself, and the people who come to it (and email/tweet/blog/instagram/vine/smoke signals/carrier pigeon/etc about it) are passionate and willing to support craft beer. besides the benefit of interacting with super cool, kick-ass people wh…
It just mocks whatever you put in and suggests something else?
Or will it actually express approval if you put in something 'good'?
My side project http://www.browser-details.com is doing about $100/month right now. I haven't started to do any marketing yet as I want to give it a small makeover before. It started as a tool for my company so I know there's a need for it - not sure yet how to best market it, though.

Hey Dan, I'm selling Wordpress plugins right now with nothing near the same success as you. Do you think it's a market that is too saturated to achieve the level of sales you saw? I'd also love to hear how you managed to attract the number of users to your website that gave you over $250k in sales? It's something I'm having trouble with right now and any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
> Do you think it's a market that is too saturated to achieve the level of sales you saw? Not at all. There are thousands of plugins, but there are 72 million WordPress sites.
I wish I could find a really good online marketing guide. One aimed at developers would be perfect. It seems there is no shortage of "learn programming" resources out there but marketing courses always seem so scammy.
