Very rarely do entrepreneurs start with nothing. You always need capital. You can’t ask for other people’s money, at least not easily, if you don’t have a chunk in yourself.
You gotta get a job, do it a bit and save to invest in your project.
Until the projects bring in 1-2k a month, I’d say keep the job. Job will also allow you to pull debt from the bank.
Regardless if you’re the best programmer, if you don’t have other folk (companies) that have employed / done work with you before it will be super hard to get investments as only you know your abilities.
Leverage your projects for a job, that will get you the job the fastest.
While you are working, look for a marketer. Usually IT folks suck at communicating, you may need a person to ease that for you.
