I built a themes website ( https://jekyllthemes.io ) in a weekend that's monetized using affiliate links and Adsense. After the initial work was done, it's virtually 100% autopilot and brings in around $80/mo.

#102It will not be 100% passive but since I am already reading those articles anyway, adding them to a weekly newsletter should be relatively passive. If things workout as planed then best case scenario, it should generate me $2000/month.
The first issue comes out June 1st at http://frontend.curated.co
PS: If you have tips on promoting this and getting the word out let me know. I am running some targetted twitter ads for now and got a good amount of subscribers. My goal is to get it to 5000 subscribers very quickly.

#1031. My friends and I were building an app named OrderIt. It's basically targeted to be used by waiters / waitresses to order food and beverage for a restaurant or coffeeshop instead of using paper and pen. The idea is not new but we aim to make it even easier for businesses by providing cross-platform apps and useful features. We have the app prototype ready but failed to do marketing/sales stuffs in the last three-month which means no customer at all. All of us coming from tech background who have no idea about marketing and sale stuffs. We also open-source source code for Android app on github for anyone interested in (https://github.com/leeu1911/orderit). We have no idea about business model and how to make money out of it currently.
2. I've built a website to use with Pomodoro technique (a time management technique). http://web-pomodoro.herokuapp.com/. So far, there's only me using it although it has around twenty views or so when I share the link on facebook. I need more seriousness I guess.
