Most of my side projects are writing, largely about tech (tutorials, reviews, all sorts of stuff). I stay motivated in a few ways. For one, my overall side projects (2x websites and a podcast) are things I'm very passionate about, so that helps.
Drilling down further, the articles I write and podcast episodes I record are a creative-first approach. I take an idea I'm excited about and research its potential to perform well, then decide if it's worth writing.
Having something outside of work that I control and work on which is a mix of professional and creative is really refreshing and empowering. Seeing pageviews or listens go up as I keep working on those side projects helps, as does affiliate commissions I earn. But overall, I think the main component is that I'm super passionate about my various side projects.
