1. I made http://www.manypixels.co last week - a design service for bootstrapped startups (though we have one VC-funded startup on board). Currently generates ~$3k weekly revenue (though I only have one week worth of data).

2. Today I launched http://www.getremotejobs.co (You pay a fixed fee, we send you remote jobs) - I coded a few bots that actually search for job offerings which are likely to accept remote and got a lot of success with it as I was freelancing, so I decided to productize it and try to see if I could have some passive income with it! Currently 0$ income for this one but have not promoted it yet.

How do you manage to create a product in one week and begin making ~3k a week? What is that process like?

Why would you start a new project if your current one is making $3K a week?

Not OP but I saw OP's post on Reddit /r/Entrepreneur Basically the first project is just a productized service which seems to be relatively hands off.

Plsm - https://github.com/jhartwell/plsm - An Elixir library to generate Ecto models from existing databases

I'm working on a few other things now that aren't ready. First is a site that allows you to test REST services from the browser. Think Postman but in the browser.

Second is an Elixir library for the Chicago Metra Rail API.

1) YouTube Channel 2) Board Game design/publication/editing 3) B2B SaaS solutions for Education 4) Woodworking #3 is the most profitable, but I'm less passionate about it compared to 1 and 2.

What exactly in "B2B SaaS solutions for Education"

I work in Education. There are a surprisingly small number of vendors that are willing to do little projects in the space. When I hear "I wish we had something to do X", I take notes and come back with offers to build X. Recently, I've decided to make this my own Project as my employer is shuttering it's doors in 6 months.

tell us more about the board games!

I do work for Portal Games. We publish all sorts of awesome stuff, mostly from our CEO, Ignacy Trzewiczek. The rest of the team is in Poland, so I am the de-facto English authority. I write rules and such. Also, I manage all our US convention appearances.
