Shelf the startup for now and start doing contract development work. You can charge anywhere from $50-125 per hour depending on your experience, programming/development expertise, and projects you've worked on. It will take you a while and you'll have to put in a lot of hours, but you have a much better chance at making money quicker than trying to make your startup work. $65/hr * 40 = $2,600/wk Even on the low end, it can add up to a substantial sum if you're willing to put in the time.
