As cheesy and sketchy as it sounds I make about $600 a year by logging into my "surveys" account once a month (need to login to keep it active). All the money comes from referrals, I no longer take surveys. Every now and then I login to check my balance and to cash in. I used to run a blog where I got all the referrals from, about 2400 people. The blog has been down for a couple of years, but the referral's money continues to come in.

#62I net about $1000/mo from one decently-watched pluralsight video I made over a year ago - http://www.pluralsight.com/courses/description/building-dotn...
What tools did you use to create the video?

#63Around $2k / month from real estate rentals after expenses. It'd be a little less if I hired a property manager to make it fully passive, but I actually enjoy doing the property management myself as it gets me away from the computer and exposes me to things I would never otherwise be involved with.
how many units do you manage? what would you guess you spend, time wise, managing the property per month?

#64I generate about $1750 USD per month producing training videos for Pluralsight, most recently on how developers can make sense of agile. http://www.pluralsight.com/author/jeremy-jarrell The $1750 month is the current rolling average. It can be much more when a new course is launching.
Same question as to the other Pluralsight creator. What tools do you use to create these courses?

From only two courses? That seems pretty darn good!
Thanks! Believe it or not about 70% of the revenue comes from the Creating Effective User Stories course. I have another course in the same vein, Agile in the Real World, coming out in a few weeks that I hope will do as well.
The trick seems to be to find a niche that people are interested in and that will continue to be interested in for some time, since the course revenue will decay over time.
For me, agile seemed to be that niche...groovy, not so much :)
It also helps if you already have a brand going in. For example, if you're already well known from books or a popular blog you'll have name recognition and some of your audience will follow you. This wasn't the case with me, but I've seen it happen several times with more well known authors.

#67I love reading and I'm a designer so I started http://greatdesignbooks.com/ where I share books that inspired me. I'm using amazon affiliate links which brings in a few dollars a month :)

#68$190 / month (net profit, after tax, fees, everything) from my cheap-as-hell VPS company ( http://kihi.io ). Helps little-businesses get off the ground for only a $2 VPS. Fortunately it hasn't had many orders as of late since everything is quite full. Largest customer base has been China & Indonesia which brings in a lot of happy faces and awesome customers, so I got that going for me at least, which is nice. Been lo…
The link for "Pricing" in the footer is 404.

#69I 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.
It's not really ambiguous at all. Between the general entrepreneurial nature of this site, the phrasing of the question, and certainly the backlinks, OP clearly means passive income streams.

#70around 1$ a month from my android game ChubbyFish. It was really just me experimenting with android game developement.
