📖 The Hustle
Design and sell icon packs, UI component libraries, and illustration sets for app and web developers. Create consistent icon families in multiple sizes and formats like SVG and PNG.

🚀 First Step
Design a 50-icon pack in one consistent style covering common UI needs like navigation, actions, and notifications, and list it on Gumroad at $15-30.
