There is risk, but that's why you lessen it by diversifying your traffic streams, and even your income streams. I own multiple software products and web apps; if any of them tanks I still have more than I need to live on. Actually, at this point, more than one could totally disappear and I would be ok financially. The odds of you selling out and making $5M are ridiculously lower, and I mean hundreds or thousands of times lower, than making a few small apps that generate a full-time income.
