Sorry to be this guy, but how much are you earning from your side projects? And also how do you know which side projects to work on?

I've done a few side projects before and it hardly earns me any money (< $500 revenue per year). It really destroys my motivation when the cost of hosting/etc are even higher than my revenue.

After digging around OP's site for a minute, it seems he created a really cool database of all the asteroids in the known universe which was acquired by a company that is actually planning to mine asteroids.

I can't imagine what kind of money they paid him for it, but I bet it was /astronomical/.

I bet the payout was out of this world. And that the data is light years ahead of the competition.
