Lower your overhead. Reduce your rent - $0 would be ideal, if you have a car, consider selling it or replace it with a super cheap one. I bootstrapped for 10 years, and I did make some money along the way. BUT, I spent too long trying to make it work. Make sure you don't hang on too long. Give yourself a deadline for when this thing should be self-sustaining. Understand UPFRONT that taxes are going to suck up every penny you have. You are no longer a W2 employee, make sure you understand the difference taxes have on a business owner and a W2 employee.
