Start e-begging

I've built some data driven websites for pocket change in adsense revenue. I should have thought ahead and gone wiki-style because I get hate for not updating them.
I then wrote some software for a mid-sized B2B industry, it's overly complex and it requires multiple demos to get them on board. When they do, they use it daily though.
My next thing is a hybrid of data/software and I'm designing it for full automation, automated billing and no reason for tech support.
Other than that I do client work so it's by no means passive. I do overcharge and re-use loads of code though.

Also, if you can get some e-commerce clients you can work in a % of the transaction revenue and call it 'transaction/processing fees'. If you get some bigger clients at 1% it can snowball very quickly.

I'm about to do this and have no idea how to price it. Should I charge them hourly during development? After I'm done, do I charge them a fixed monthly fee?

Extremely interested in this thread. Particularly interested in hearing more from
I have around $2k a month leftover from my day job and want to use that to fund passive income software projects

it's going to mostly come in the form of ad revenue
spam campaigns whether it's via email, youtube video, tiktok video, etc.
you could rip content from one website, automatically make a compilation, and then reupload it to farm ad revenue. this is done for reddit posts using text to speech, it's done for videos to make video compilations, and it's done for Any Forums posts to repost elsewhere.
you could rip erotic content like asmr and onlyfans teasers and repost it on youtube, instagram, tiktok, etc with your own paypal in the description.

I was talking about my own software, but yes for client work I try to quote the hours for the whole project (the # of hours it will take x 2.5). Again for support, get a retainer for the number of hours you think it will take per month and at least double it.
I do this because every bigger software house will only give a ballpark cost per stage of the project, so I come along and commit to the price for the whole thing.

I will always remember Luke Smith as the perfect example of what happens when you fall for every single Any Forums meme at once, without carefully analyzing them first. He owns four ThinkPads at least. While I see nothing wrong with them in themselves, as they are admittedly pretty good value for the price, four is just mindless consumerism, contradictory to his "philosophy". He started using every single shitty pseudominimalist, ncurses-based program, used a shitty riced out i3 setup of dubious actual productivity (like all tiling wms), then fell for the full Suckless meme and went in even deeper. Then he started making videos shitting on Python and praising C, which is ironic considering he is not even a programmer by his own admission. He effectively spent years trying out, configuring and hopelessly trying to integrate tens of meme programs to build what is, combined, effectively a shittier Emacs, just like most of Any Forums was doing in their "productive" desktop threads a year or two ago. Then he read the Unabomber manifesto and blindly accepted it without constructively analyzing it first, same with the anarcho-primitivist ideology that was all the rage about a year and a half ago on Any Forums and 8ch. While he stated on his website that he "didn't browse Any Forums much anymore" it was obvious this wasn't the case.Then he went and took the memes way too far, and unironically went to live in isolation. While I see nothing wrong in itself, the actual reason he did it is massive cringe. He has the mentality of someone 10 years younger than he is, yet he acts like a literal boomer jokingly criticizing "zoomers" despite he himself being the worst example of a millennial. He attacks "nerds" when it't painfully obvious he's deeply unhappy with himself, as it was obviously self-directed criticism thinly veiled as an edgy dabbing video. He is a perfect example of someone you should avoid becoming at all costs.

Valuable tips, my man, you probably just made me a millionaire. Thank you.
