Yes, I think you definitely can. I'd approach it similarly to how one would approach freelance software development.

1. You already have a day job, and through your network, someone asks if you have time for side work.

2. You create some kind of a public portfolio that anyone can check out and market yourself to the type of clients you're interested in.

Your work will be viewed by most companies as a vitamin, rather than a pain killer, in that it's nice to have but not but not solving the most critical business problem - and this is why most documentation sucks - but, with some persistence you'll find clients who put value on your service.

yeah that's what I was thinking of doing especially the second point. Thanks.
