To me, passive means little or no ongoing time investment. If we are looking at "best" in terms of revenue, then dividends from investing in the stock market are by far the best source of passive income I can imagine. I've got a 1.5x leveraged portfolio over on IBKR that is currently yielding ~2.9% dividends across a wide range of sectors. I am paying ~1% in margin fees at the moment, so I basically get to use their…
I made a watermarking software 10 years ago, still makes 1000$ every month, with almost zero work. http://watermark-image.com :)

Are you interested in selling your Keto site?
I'll code you a competitor for much less than that person would charge, if they are even willing to sell :)
The site code and content itself is worth very little. The history, traffic, and back links are the value.
Even if the site was copied or even improved on, it would take somewhere between 6 to 24 months to reach a comparable level of traffic assuming no black hat strategies are used.

It's a plain static site, so it doesn't need any server maintenance or software upgrades. Not totally passive because I actively tried to grow it for three months when I had t…
Why does Covid drop traffic for a content site about keto?

I'm mostly dull indicies, with a middling adventurous fund that has more than doubled in the last year; my investments increased by about 30% overall. My investments brought home more money than I did (I've been in full-time employment throughout) and I'm starting to wonder if Piketty wasn't on to something.
Utterly passive and zero effort on my side; I just do what they say and stick my pennies into indicies (and a small amount into more adventurous funds).
Selling weekly covered calls on stocks in my equities portfolio, 2k per week, super passive.
