What I have been doing recently is taking advantage of a cryptocurrency created by an MIT professor that has very low fees and facilitates micro transactions. I won't mention it by name because that is as far as I can tell an instant comment bury on HN. But the point being is that I have taken my recent consulting projects and turned them into automated services (i.e. web applications and APIs) that multiple people in the ecosystem can use. Cryptocurrency has helped make it simple to monetize these services. So the particular project I am hired for becomes the seed money for another app. And actually I took very little money for a few projects and have been working on an API that both will plug into for a few months while splitting my time with other subprojects. But if everything works out then I will have more income based on each each smart contract call to generate an NFT.
