Excerpt of article text...
Whether you're a self-employed Xojo developer or a developer working for someone else, relying on a single source of income can be frightening and risky. If you work for yourself, there's always a chance that a client contract you depend on will be delayed or canceled. Unfortunately, if you work for someone else, that same risk applies.
One way to reduce this risk is to establish alternative and supplemental income streams. If you're self-employed, you can offer products and services to supplement your core offerings.

In this article, I will share ideas about possible alternative and supplemental income streams, as well as advice on how to find those that are best for you.
