I'm in a similar boat. I work full time but limited in opportunity there. spend a lot of time on youtube. So, I'm working on a personal blog/platform, kind of, exactly for what your talking about. I've decided to be more productive but I haven't really settled on one idea. So, I'm building coolprojectideas.com so that I can blog(tutorials mostly) and build side projects. Plus I have like a million ideas and I wanted a place to idea vomit. I think there are 4 phases to being successful on your own. 1. experiment publicly. 2. stumble onto something people are into 3. focus/grow that 4. repeat
