Crappy t-shirt designs. I have a bunch of random shirt designs (I am no designer, just made some mediocre SVGs with funny ideas I had in Inkscape), and sell them on the German spreadshirt marketplace, makes about 20 Euros/month. Most of them trivially translate to the English-speaking market, I should really do that. Does anyone have a hint where the best place to sell 'low-end' t-shirt designs in the US is?

People on H1B, like me, simply can't. It is ilegal to have any income coming anywhere else other than the employer associated to the H1B... It is ilegal to even make money on ads on a blog... this completely sucks and is very frustrating.
Ask your mom,brother,uncle,etc to open a Google / iTunes developer account, get a little creative here :)
We should not have to come up with "creative ways" to do something simple like ads on side projects (be it a blog or a free app).

Wow, so is improvely is run just by you? 30k a month is impressive. I checked out your blog, but have you ever had anyone else working on it or have you always maintained the full stack?
The only downside to working alone is being on-call 24/7/365 for the servers. I have a good alert system that will wake me up if anything goes wrong overnight, though most components of the stack can fail without taking down a site. Lots of load balancing and warm failovers at a second host just in case.
Bingo Card Creator is pretty firmly EOLed. Sales YTD this year are about $30k, probably $35k all-in for the year. Profits are stable at about 60% unless I miss my guess. This is down substantially from previous years, partly as a result of Google changes which I haven't made the least bit of effort into looking into. Also have ~$1k a month from books/courses, and hoping to get out another course before the end of the…
Do you know what google changed at least or simply that google changed _something_ and organic traffic dropped significantly?
Around $2k / month from real estate rentals after expenses. It'd be a little less if I hired a property manager to make it fully passive, but I actually enjoy doing the property management myself as it gets me away from the computer and exposes me to things I would never otherwise be involved with.
Do you have a normal full-time job also? I sold my rental property partly because it was taking up too much time on top of mine.
Conferencebadge.com(+Leanticket.com) started in January 2013, generates ~$36k / month and growing. Interesting to note we were reject after interviewing in SF for YC S2013. We are a team of four working on this. Mostly part time, customer support, fulfilment with partners. The money from this enables us to focus most of our time on a newly not announced projet, which we plan to launch in spring 2015. We plan to apply…

I am fairly clueless about stocks. Would you mind sharing how would one start? How much upfront cost does it require?
Do this for about a year or two before thinking on investing real money. It sounds long and boring but that's because it takes a lot just to understand what's happening, let alone make any money.
Read everything you can on commonly used definitions and get used to reading financial news. This will help you measure how much do you actually understand and get more proficient at it.
Then you can start investing with small amounts and see how it feels. The hardest thing I have experienced while trading is the emotional rush of either losing money or winning money. So getting used to it is pretty useful if you want to follow an strategy, etc.
Quantopian is a good reasource if you have already understood at least some basic stuff. Another good resource is http://www.babypips.com/school
Although it refers to Forex market and not stock market, a lot of the stuff there applies as well.
I wrote and self-publish a book named Mastering Modern Payments[1], with a fairly recent second edition. It's making about $2k/mo. I am also selling paid support and add ons for my open-source Rails engine for Stripe named Payola[2][3], which very recently gained support for subscriptions[4].

To setup and collect payments world wide outside those countries is a pain in the ass. Any book on that (or good services) deserve money & success.
Just wanted to add a note: Most people who aren't making anything won't be posting, so results will be drastically skewed. So for anyone here getting discourage because they think their a minority - think otherwise (And then get back to work on trying to get your own setup ;))
Thank you all for contributing to this thread.
