My original side project is now my full-time job. Most of my current side projects are flavors of what I am already good at and have success doing. These haven’t made money (yet), but I think of them as successful because the learning translates to my day job which earns money. They also scratch the creative itch so I don’t needlessly update my normal website because I’m bored. This helps me in my normal job as I can solve similar problems in news ways and some of those new ideas work themselves into my other projects.
