Sure. And I’d hardly call myself top notch, so no doubt I’d be unable to achieve that.

Thing is I have no interest in doing that, partly because as it turns out I need quite a bit more than a thousand dollars in a month, and partly because I don’t like doing hard shit. Guess I’m just crazy like that. So it’s fortunate for me that I can make quite a bit more than that, with less risk and less effort, and a whole lot fewer sleepless nights.

That’s understandable. I also understand why people want to make a side income. For all the hard work and small pay checks in the beginning, it’s worth it to have a business in the end. There is no guarantee though and I think putting in work into something with no pay and no guarantee of success is just not compatible with most people. It require some degree of craziness!
