I started my career (way back when the C-64 was still popular...) working for several start-ups and maybe that's colored my thinking on monetizing side projects. I do side projects to pursue my own interests and I've never once thought about trying to monetize it because I know the work involved and frankly most of the work isn't work I enjoy doing. I figure I'm leaving a few bucks on the table but I'm having a lot more fun!
