I 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.

- Write Together (new project, but hey) - $1,200 / month. I built a platform for learning to Write with others, based around building habits/streaks. https://writetogether.space

#48Someone 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.
