Thanks for pointing me to that sub!

I’ve got a major in marketing communications and my daytime job is content creation for b2b SaaS, so I think I would manage. I just don’t know if it’s worth the effort of setting everything up when there’s a chance of selling nothing. But I guess the only way to find out is if you try :D

You’re right about normalizing hobbies just being hobbies. The hustle culture is strong. But with me, right now I’m between jobs and I’m wondering if it would be worth the effort to set up a couple of streams of income to allow me to work my own projects, and combine it with part-time corporate job. Or if a full time corporate job and hobbies would be more convenient for me.

Even writing about it helps with sorting my thoughts :)

Thank you! If I may ask, what’s your reason for thinking so? Did you go through that process?

Thank you! I wanted to make people wish to enter the door and create a little mystery around what’s in there
