Ask HN: Have you successfully sold a side project?

[livestyle]

I'm realizing now that I don't have the time that I need to put into a side project I started.

It's fully functional and can make money for someone right now.

What is the best way to sell a sideproject webapp?

p.s. I'm not a fan of flippa.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but we've seen lots of side projects go on to be successful community-owned products on Assembly.

Here's more about what it looks like:

Thanks for sharing.. Are you guys seeing some good traction for side projects?

p.s. I submitted my side project :)

Maybe you could talk to a few of your best customers. This is often an overlooked source.

There is a marketplace to buy and sell side projects https://www.sideprojectors.com/project/home

Why are you not a fan of Flippa? I have made over 90k on that site.. you have to weed out the idiots ;)

[livestyle]

Can you sell web apps too?

Why not talk to people who would nearly immediately appreciate your app's utility?

Why not talk to people who would find its utility obvious?
