New Year's Resolution - Dev Log 1
L

Your typical software dev that fell in love with learning. Currently working on my New Years Resolution of earning enough income monthly from my own web applications to no longer be poor. A man can dream.

const disclaimer = () => {
    console.log("This is a quick dev log to get this blog caught up to my Reddit Posts")
}

Basically, my new year's resolution is to create one or multiple websites that give me enough income per month to not need a job. The last dev log was a lot of background, this one is more focused on what I am actually doing in order to achieve my goal. This is a picture of the original post of Reddit:

Those using screen readers fear not! Here is the rundown:

Idea 1 - Job Board: I had started coding this back in December. Coded for a couple more hours today on it, got most of the UI done for the MVP. While I am not a great coder, I would be lying if I said I was not proud of it so far, the code could definitely be cleaner but I am having a good time so far. The last thing I need to finish on the UI is making the post a job page, which I am thinking of just making into a modal.

Idea 2 - Paid Plugins: Currently in the research phase of this idea, I have been seeing a lot of people saying that WordPress plugins are the way to go. I personally do not see myself going this route, it seems pretty far from the workflows I am used to. Might decide to scrap this idea and continue with others.

Idea 3 - SaaS: An obvious route to go for great monthly income. Currently thinking that this is the next move after I finish my Job Board and have time to code something else while doing more business/marketing work on the job board. Still trying to find a market/idea for the SaaS application.

On a personal note, still excited to be productive and hopeful that on December 31st, 2022, I will make enough money from my own web applications that a job is not necessary (not that I could land one anyway lol).
