Hi there,

I have been working on my side projects in spare time. The project is up and running, but doesn't generate any revenue (yet), and I don't think it would generate enough to quit my current job. But still I like it - it is something I created (as sole developer) and it is something good and useful, but not too complicated. Also, it helped me in picking up new skills that were directly useful to current job. But as I keep tweaking things here and there, I haven't spent much on marketing or getting it further polished etc. All I am spending is my time and basic hosting cost.

Sometimes I think I should fund my project more, but sometimes I think it is not yet there.

My question to other HN members working on side projects: How much do you spend monthly? When did you switch from doing everything internally to outsourcing part of it, or marketing? What's that trigger or tipping point?

Thanks
