Nope no overtime. Looking to develop such small demo apps because I have time constraint, might not be able to commit to second job.

Ok if you want to do the demo apps here is what I suggest:

1. Build a list of potential customers. Ideally names and phone numbers.

2. Write a script of what you will say on the phone.

3. Call them all with the aim of booking a half hour appointment (in person or Skype if too far away).

4. In the appointment find out more about their problem and pain points, see if you are a good fit to help, try to close the deal. Require upfront payment.

5. If in 20 hours of cold calling you can't get anyone to hand you cash then pivot.

...Or beg or borrow :-). Or maybe get that second job and resign after 3 months.
