#32Stocks, depends on the month: 1000-2000 on average. Link: http://mays.co/i-made-6k-this-month-doing-nothing/ Webhosting: $20 (Mainly just pays for my VPS) Launching soon: http://gymbrew.com (Subscription box service for protein goodies)
This blog post is highly misleading. The only reason you made $6k in a month with index funds is A) because you would have already had about $60k in the account and B) because indexes were recovering from a large drop just before that one-month time horizon. To give more perspective, the 3-month return for your most heavily weighted fund is about half of the current 1-month average. To make $6k/month assuming average…
Probably also good to point newbies at the chart from late 2008.

#33I currently make about 1000EUR/month consistently from an Android app I sell for 9.99EUR. It's a tasks app that syncs with OmniFocus. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.quantus.app...
That is quite remarkable, do you think the OmniFocus integration is the killer feature that gets most people to pay?

#34I make a nice chunk of money every two weeks working full time at a steady Rails job. I'm sure that's not what you meant but to be fair your question is very ambiguous.

#35I wrote and self-publish a book named Mastering Modern Payments[1], with a fairly recent second edition. It's making about $2k/mo. I am also selling paid support and add ons for my open-source Rails engine for Stripe named Payola[2][3], which very recently gained support for subscriptions[4].

Also what it the split between the mid-price and the lowest price? I'm trying to figure out the pricing for my book[1] so it (a) is dont-need-to-think-about-it-cheap, (b) doesn't devalue the book (if too cheap readers won't trust), and (c) interacts nicely with Amazon who…
The team option sells occasionally, mostly to agencies.
Low and mid tiers have sold approximately the same number of copies, which means the mid tier brings in about double the revenue.
Not sure what to tell you about Amazon. I don't sell there because I like taking 97% of my revenue instead of 30%, but for a math textbook maybe it would make sense. Do you market to math tutors? It seems like if you could get tutors on board they would be able to easily sell to their students.

But the other tips on this blog post are right.

#37Crappy t-shirt designs. I have a bunch of random shirt designs (I am no designer, just made some mediocre SVGs with funny ideas I had in Inkscape), and sell them on the German spreadshirt marketplace, makes about 20 Euros/month.
Most of them trivially translate to the English-speaking market, I should really do that. Does anyone have a hint where the best place to sell 'low-end' t-shirt designs in the US is?

#38On average, $400/month from https://the.wubmachine.com, an online music remixing app. Split pretty much evenly between Google AdSense and Android/iOS In-App Purchases for the Android/iOS native clients.
