I just reviewed my side projects for money making potential and it is so grim.
- Developer tools: worthless
- Enterprise tools: Worth a lot, no way to monetize without enterprise sales staff, minimal scope is huge
- Consumer apps: Hard to find anything that hasn't already been done, willingness to pay is low so you need so many customers.
- Cyber begging: Works for large cultural phenomena with corporate backers, think PyPA. Not so much for individuals
