How much is just survivorship bias?
I have like 4-5 side hustles being worked on at any one time, but I rarely ship for various reasons.
Lots of people in this thread seem to have just gone and done it without thinking. How often does that pay off?
I have an Etsy product, Christmas tree ornament, has made about $600 gross last year and another $400 or so this year…
It’s not much but now I have an Etsy shop with 5 start reviews all across. Planning to make a few more non-seasonal products and see where I can take it.
But, I also have a graveyard on my GitHub!
I guess the stats are like 9/10 entrepreneurial projects fail… so if I try 20 things…
I also have the distinction of publishing a halloween item on cults, but a month after halloween ended, so I am waiting 10 more months to see if theres any interest.
So I think the key is unique and then using keywords, videos and Etsy ads are not bad to get some traction, even for a brand new store
100%. The topic is to post side projects making $500/month. Not to post failed side projects, projects that generate little to no money, or that cost money.
It's all pure survivorship bias.
