Also a solo creator. I'm not making money from it, but I would like to eventually.
My motivation is two-fold:
1. I am a perfectionist and can't leave things undone.
2. My creation work is my sanity preservation against my actual obligations.
Needless to say, my motivations won't apply to 99% of people.
Everyone is going to be different. Find your motivations, but don't assume they'll be the same as some viral blogger.
- all2 3y agoWhat are your major road blocks to making money right now?
- gavinhoward 3y agoMy software isn't done because I'm a perfectionist. :) When it is done (and I've gotten to the point where it's only months away), the roadblock will be my inability to make a sale.
- michaelteter 3y agoYou know what they say: Software is never finished; you just stop working on it at some point.
- gavinhoward 3y agoYeah, very true. I had to set firm maximum targets of functionality.

- gavinhoward 3y agoYeah, I agree. I have cut down my initial feature set drastically. My build system won't even have incremental builds. It must be able to build itself, though.
