YTD by revenue: Stock > Job > Books > Affiliate Websites Stocks are auto-invested each month. Job is not passive. Books were written a while ago. Some by me most by others. Probably a couple hours a week evaluating how they're doing. Sometimes I'll do sales, etc. Less passive as I'm trying to grow their revenue. Affiliate websites are all 100% passive at this point. I automatically generate content for them. Maybe an…
By stocks, do you mean an index fund, or individual stocks, or some combination of the two?
I have to be honest here. Posts like this kind of confuse me - you're basically asking people to either share their secret sauce so others can copy it, or to provide vague descriptions that won't help overly much building your own passive income. Anyway, I'll get this started even though it's not what you're probably looking for: my best passive income is rental properties. I purchased a small house in Florida that i…
Not all passive income is 'secret sauce'. People write eBooks or offer paid services based on their skill set and so on - and often the HN exposure helps get them known, and is interesting to see for us readers.
A cursory Google search suggests you could use a package like poppler to convert the pdf to raw text, and then in theory use regex to create data your server could use and serve. If the pdfs are published as scans like so many municipalities do, then OCR is the only way to go. Either way, good luck and decently nice design.
I really appreciate you taking a look as well as providing your feedback. Regarding the design, I just wanted to get something out the door quickly with a suitable look out of the box, so I decided to use MaterializeCSS ( http://materializecss.com/ ). It's getting the job done so far, but I may revisit the design after I get all the content up. And I'll look into poppler. Thank you for the recommendation.
If the timetables aren't particularly easy to read or parse, OCR is going to be potentially wrong so you're going to have to check it, so you might as well do it manually whilst there's no clean technical way of doing it (maybe contact the companies if you get big numbers and ask about an arrangement?). You could setup a script, on a VPS if you're doing it that way, that checks the PDF daily, and if the file changes it notifies you - that'd be fairly trivial to setup.
Extremely impressive list, do you mind me asking how you initially get the projects off the ground in terms of users / traffic? Also as a side note, thank you for daterangepicker! I've integrated it into a couple little things I've built like chrome extensions and absolutely love it.
* W3Counter: I started "Website Goodies" as a content and tools site for webmasters in the 1990s. It had articles about learning HTML, learning JavaScript, and basically whatever else I myself was learning at the time back then. It also had a tools page, with things like guestbooks and surveys and a website hit counter I hosted. They were initially Perl CGI scripts, then later rewritten in PHP when I learned that. Th…

I'm jelly. Congrats on your achievement. How many saas have you started that did not fizzle out? Also, for the 600K what is your profit on that? Was that just in the last couple of years (getting 600K/year) or already a long time?

Mostly Index funds as well as some individual stocks (TSLA, BRK.B, AAPL).

We need more stories and details about such endeavors, but unfortunately most don't write about it.

Interesting. I was thinking most people from the target audience (tech) would have ad blockers installed. I can't imagine being a more or less tech-savvy and not using an ad blocker.

The most popular ad blockers also block W3Counter's tracking script, so those 110K monthly views it counted are just the people not running a blocker. Who knows how many more people visited but weren't counted.
