Value extractor? I'm a non tech guy so I have a different perspective. I started a side business selling online. I have no idea where I would even start on my own, between setting up a website and handling payments etc. Shopify allowed me to literally stand up an ecommerce platform in an afternoon, and soon enough I was accepting $6k per month. The cost was something like $39/month, which was phenomenal value for money.

If you don't mind my asking, what do you sell with your side venture that let you reach those numbers fairly soon?
Metal and plastics for engineering and machining hobbyists. It's an unfulfilled market here in New Zealand.
