I think the best way to learn. I was in a similar situation - I wanted to start making money selling things, but had no reputation, network, etc. All I did was work on OSS in relative isolation. Since around 1.5 years ago I started the following: - Make Twitter account. Build your brand. If you are doing exciting things, people see and follow. This helps you build your potential market, too. My niche is programming courses/books. - Start learning how to market yourself and your content. This means post blog articles, etc Maybe this is not the exact advice you are looking for or what you are wanting to achieve, but building an online brand and reputation is relatively low energy work (maybe 30m a day to check/respond/post some stuff) and is a good way to learn about marketing and that sort of thing.
