https://pareday.com - I'm making passive income off SitterCity affiliate program.
I have a chrome extension and service at http://tab.bz which has around 25k users. It nets a tiny amount of revenue per month, I'm using it as a testing ground to keep my coding skills sharp, learn meteor and as a case study for growth hacking/product Dev I run it off a couple of digital ocean droplets at around $10/month

Heavy Instagram user here. This is cool. I really like the price point, but for a 99¢ postcard including postage, do you actually make any money?
Thanks! The margins are pretty tight at the moment, but I still make a little. Margins would improve with more volume as I can get better bulk rates.

During my day job I run a full-time startup, but, as a weekend hack a couple years ago, I built an automated email sales tool called Autopest ( https://autopest.com ). I've never done any promotion for it, but it keeps growing on its own organically via word-of-mouth. About a year and a half ago I mentioned Autopest in an HN thread titled "Ask HN: How to start earning $500/month in passive income in next 12-18 months…
Decent income in 4 figures, but I didn't do it for the money (it took me hundreds of hours from start to finish). However it's a great feeling when you go out for dinner, check your email, and a new purchase essentially pays for dinner right then and there :P.

This is cool. I use OneTab similarly though really just to stash tab overload more than share.
Is anyone doing old-fashion landlording these days? I'm trying to break into that space, but I have no idea what I'm doing and could use some advice from someone who's done it before.
Yes. Our family sold an ag property this year and I purchased 3 rental properties. Two of them are 3 bedroom condos that I rent to students at Cal Poly SLO. The third is a 3 bedroom home that is a family rental. It's been going smoothly so far. While student rentals seem risky on the surface, I like them because (a) most students (here, at least) are paying their rent with student loans or parents' money, so its fair…
Improvely ( https://www.improvely.com ) and W3Counter ( https://www.w3counter.com ) have grown to $45,000 MRR. W3Counter is completely passive -- no new code or features in over a year, no customer support load, autoscaling frontend (EC2) and backend (Aurora). Improvely gets feature updates a few times a year and has some light e-mail support load. I also added a single banner ad to each of my open source projects' d…

Great questions. I can't answer as detailed as I would like to do. But, I can't be 100% sure that these watches will be of the same quality, but I'm 99% sure. I've dealed with these manufacturers for a while and we have a tight partnership. I don't want to misinterpret and give you wrong info, so what do you mean with ballpark? Not sure what you mean :)
Understand there are contractual (and business!) limitations to what can be said, so thanks for any answers. :) By ballpark, I meant could you give round numbers (ie number of figures) on the up-front investment to get something like this off the ground? Or whether it's a back end per-item partnership? Also, kudos to you and best of luck. It is a nice design, and you're right -- the watch community is under-served by…
I'm really sorry, I can't tell you how much I invested but I can tell you that it was for the first batch and not per-item charging. So you kinda need to invest a lot of money to start something like this - if you want to create great quality products :)
Vintages from the 60s are sooo amazing. We were actually inspired from some vintage watches (and modern watches) :)
