Correction: Make that 15 hours per month, equivalent to approx. 4 hours per week.

I have no special formula, I was just fully prepared with all the right skills at the right place at the right time and worked my ass off.

Actually, I'm more worried about not having a backup 2nd income.

I'm not sure if I should continue in the web startup / IT world. Seems like everyone is getting into this bandwagon, maybe it's time to jump off this wagon and try something entirely new...

Live relatively cheaply and save. If you don't find something else before this revenue stream starts to dry up, you will at least have savings with which to fund the incredible burst of energy/motivation you feel when things do start to dry up! (Said lightly, but something to think seriously about doing.)

Don't skimp on experience, though. Keep finding more of it, until the next thing clicks. (Wherever that might be. Maybe you'll find the next great cookie recipe. Experience (experiences) come in all shapes and sizes.)
