30 dollars a month from crypto mining (real on my own pc not some scam or online BS) 1.5 dollars a month watching ads 2 dollars a month surveys 0.5 dollars a month for saving account due to walking Total = 34 dollars

With only $30/mo from mining, don't you pay more in electricity and hardware?

This just launched, but I imagine I'm soon to be rich in other people's screams. https://justscream.baby

when I called 561-567-8431, I got "Welcome to Verizon Wireless, your call can not be completed as dialed. Please hang up and try again."

That's just inspiration for more screaming.

Naked pics/videos and functional programming tutorials.

Would you mind sharing? I'm sure many people here are interested in functional programming tutorials.

Let me get some more content on there haha! Right now it's a little sparse

I cover the costs of domain / hosting with sponsored jobs @ https://www.phpjobs.app. If I get an actual sale for a featured job it covers a few months worth of hosting.

I haven't spent much time on it lately and there are a few things I need to fix but I have been too busy.

While I am not in the black with the project (even if I consider my time as free) it still helps be think about other streams of income that maybe aren't passive but can be tied into my hobbies so will feel much less like work.

I do about 5€/month on an astrology app on the Play Store [1], and I did 50€ once on my SaaS astrology web app [2]. The rest of my web apps [3][4][5] give me 0 (zero) per month..

I'm now planning on starting a python development blog, and I hope I can sell some courses if I'm able to drive an audience. I teach CS (next year part-time) on a local college and I have some tutorials and lab exercises for my students (some of which I shared at the full-speed python ebook [6])..

Edit: forgot that the fine guys at educative.io send my a monthly payment of about ~100€ for the full-speed python course at their platform [7]. I guess I'm much better at coming up with programming tutorials than with business ideas..

Some day my luck will improve! :)

$625/mo minus utilities (minus some pandemic/nice landlord skips) - Parking pad/yard with utilities to a tiny house

~3k/mo split between the following:

OLD content site in a specific niche - affiliate earnings* Domain earnings via ads (this is a loss for sure though because I spend more than this in domain renewals) 2 sites in various drug niches (affiliate) Adsense from a network of ??? sites Fiverr gig (article on a blog) * A variety of affiliate sites (amazon mainly)*

*split with a partner

Probably cover my domain expenses by selling a domain every once in a while too.

Some of these used to be full time projects that I stopped caring about. Very nice to have spitting out money still. I have been cranking crap out for 20 years and rarely shut any of it down completely unless it is does not cover the $10/year for the domain/hosting and even then I usually keep them going if I like the domain.

This is pretty cool, How much sales do you usually get? You have any marketing channels?

Well, the space ai art space is getting pretty competitive. I have seen many people starting and then quitting these kind of projects because they approached it purely from the money side. I make only few sales every couple of months and so far it is mostly coming from social media (@ai_art_supreme on Instagram) or word of mouth channels. I am targeting high end of the market so that is fine by me and also ready to p…

I'm in the same space as the founder of NightCafe Creator [1]. It's been running at a (substantial) loss for the last year until September which was my first break even month. I'm hoping to turn it around and have made great strides so far. The biggest expense (95%) is GPU compute time. It runs on Algorithmia which was super convenient to get up and running with, but is now very expensive. Switching compute providers is a big opportunity. Unfortunately I suck at devops.

I make use of a company trading on behalf of us. This translates to daily compounding income. They are helping around 200 000 people currently.

Truly thankful for this automated income as I am able to support my parents with this. My dad is unable to find work due to so much uncertainty in the economy.

Not sure I understand what you’re talking about. Do you mean a stock broker?
