I sold a GitLab subscription last year. Today the customer renewed and their user base doubled. (I'm a reseller.)

#22For the past couple years I’ve been running a pet supply business focused on eco friendly and high quality toys, treats, collars, etc.
Originally started as a T-shirt company specializing in dog puns but expanded a couple years in. The T-shirts are all printed and fulfilled by a US company and I have the pet supply inventory at my house so it’s quick to ship. Not entirely passive but only takes about 5-10 hours each week.
Been gaining momentum recently so it’s been an increasingly better income source.

#25the first rule of passive income is you don't talk about passive income... (cuz someone will copy it and end the gravy train)
That is true, but people can still talk about strategies etc without giving too much specifics. It is still a good discussion to have.

#27I bought a site last summer that sells YouTube intro videos for $5/$10 a pop: http://introcave.com
I made about $13k off it, which sounds good but was really only about $20/hour.
Hoping to grow it quite a bit this year and then start offloading tasks. I don’t know if I can ever get it truly passive, but that’s the dream.

#28Legitimately passive income is not a thing.
It can be for a division of time.

#29Someone bought like 40 copies of a book I "wrote" back when I posted on HN about it in April. Otherwise bank interest has been the best.

#30I run a clothing store online. All of the order processing and fulfillment is handled automatically. I do no marketing or advertisement beyond social media. It's pretty nice. Sometimes I sell meme shirts that generate $3k in a month if I'm feeling particularly clever. I was able to bootstrap this business for like $12 for a domain name and a free trial of Shopify which gave me enough runway to scale. Been doing this…
What services / company do you use to do order processing and fulfillment?
