yhavinon Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2024 – Show and tell

I made an Excel/Google Sheets course, hosted with smalltime Masterclass non-(competitor) called DAASS: https://learnwithyakir.com/daass. Does over $1k/month, for my commission portion.

No frills, 6.5 hours of digestible videos, 30+ functions/formulas, enough theory to help you learn on your own. Writing complex formulas in Excel was my gateway to proper software development. It's a useful skill even now as a developer, working with data in CSVs, making small tools for quick automation, things like that. (Just don't make a CRM in Excel, lol.)
