It's always good to dream. But don't let your side hustle consume you. Other than watching out for employee agreements regarding IP of what you create, I would keep your side projects top secret, domain privacy, etc, don't talk about it with your coworkers, don't work on it with company resources or even visit the domain(s) from work. Do all development/work outside of work on your own hardware. Not only so you own the IP, but also your employer might not like you pursuing your own thing and could effect raises etc. I would start listening to StartUpsForTheRestOfUs.com Rob has tons of great advice for what you're wanting to do. It's hard to generate revenue from a side project, you might be better off doing some freelance work to generate extra income. Try to network with friends in the industry not connected to your employer first. The online freelance sites aren't super helpful, as it's usually a race to the bottom on pricing. Building an info product or a website with ad revenue or SaaS would be a great revenue addition too. It's not easy but it's possible. You have to execute and put in the effort though. It's easy to get caught up listening to podcasts about it, buying domains, setting up landing pages and not putting in the work to execute the idea to make it a success. Here's a great talk from @DHH Start Up School 2008, but still relevant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CDXJ6bMkMY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CDXJ6bMkMY Good luck with your side projects.
