Something to think about: Based on the answers here and in the related Reddit thread it seems that information products (e-books, targeted blog posts, link collections) still generate better revenue (either sales or ad revenue) than pure software products as side projects.
- karterk 12y agoA lot more people who write books talk about their experience than those who run a niche profitable SaaS app for obvious reasons (competitive advantage). In my experience, it's much easier to have a stable recurring revenue from a SaaS app than a book. Books go out of date much faster.
