earning $3k per month exclude the big project I just getting and at least 1/3 must not come from freelancing.
A product is a project that people will pay money for. In other words, it’s a project that has a market (a group of people who want to buy it). Without a market, a software application is just a project.

I like the 4th Option
Start a company, build a great product, sell your product to your customers, generate revenue, keep overhead low, grow slowly and carefully, take in more money than you spend, generate a profit, and decide your own fate on your own schedule.
Experts are clueless.
Customers cannot tell you what they need.
Jump to the next curve.
The biggest challenges beget best work.
Design counts.
You can’t go wrong with big graphics and big fonts.
Changing your mind is a sign of intelligence.
“Value” is different from “price.”

Real CEOs demo.
Real CEOs ship.
Marketing boils down to providing unique value.
Some things need to be believed to be seen.
If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Everything else is secondary.
