I'm honestly at the point where I believe that I have the skills to build something people might pay for but I'm going for the approach of building an audience first. Nobody really knows who I am nor do I have much of an online presence beyond my Facebook profile that's really just for friends and family.
I'm really hesitant to charge money for things because I do want to help people, but I also understand that when people pay for things, it becomes validation for ideas and helps grow that idea because there would be an incentive. But not yet I suppose.
I guess what I'm looking for is some feedback and so far I'm mostly just building really small amounts of traffic. I suppose I should start some sort of campaign that might attract attention.
With the pandemic I have found more time to work on side projects to completion. I do want to make side income but I'm just taking my time and enjoy building things.
I once received a comment about why I made my Math Homework Generator free. I really don't know if people would pay for it because I'm having enough trouble getting people's attention. Anyway, most of my projects are open source and free to use for that reason.
Any feedback, especially harsh feedback would be nice.
