I finally have four ideas that I think worthy to build that I would like to monetize. All would be well within my abilities to build. No vision of grandeur that I'd retire from any of them and if I made $100 from one site I'd be ecstatic.
Two are simple games, one a directory and one a utility type site. No AI, no sign-up, no affiliate marketing, no upselling, just simple sites with ads.
However, my "paralysis by analysis" affliction is strong.
This is beautiful. I think I'll add a similar page to my website. Side projects are what I look forward to! Right now, I just have my blog + github as a messy portfolio of personal projects, but I like this much better.
Symbol hunt is broken :( (FWIW, I had the same error on my website, seems PHP needs to be updated)

I've sold through Acquire.com, Flippa, and also had people reach out to me directly
Would you be ok with giving a range of selling prices?
Wow, you've sold a lot of sites. How does that work?
Very cool! How do you know when a project is done?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Create public project, have a contact-form/email somewhere on the website, if someone is interested in buying it, they'll reach out to you and you discuss the details. Isn't much more magic than that :)
How do you get any visitors to begin with? By posting it on HN?
Otherwise, if you're solving a specific problem in a niche, start hanging out wherever those people hang out, participate in the community and share your solution if it's applicable to the discussion. Make sure not to spam/self-promote a lot though, as it comes off as really tacky in most places.
I wish I had this energy again. I've got a list of side projects to get on with. I've made little progress in the last year, and suspect its burn out to blame - I'm just constantly exhausted. I think if you have the energy, this is awesome fun. It might even get to the point where one of them makes some decent income. But if you don't, like me, just realise that there is a reason for that, and it's OK. You need rest…
