#4Job hunting ;)
In all honesty, I find that when people working full-time jobs look for side projects, either their not happy with the job they have or their job underpays them. (That's not to say that working on fun side projects that happen to lead to revenue is a bad thing, but seeking side project revenue is not a great indicator).
Things that I've heard from friends: - Shopify sites - Consulting - Tutoring / teaching - Affiliate sales

#5New account because I don't want my employers knowing.
My sideproject on iOS and Android generates 1.1M a year. About 90-100k a month.
I'm still employed because the app runs on its own, very low maintenance, so might as well get a salary doing something else and learn new things

Wow, congrats. Are you getting those numbers from selling new copies or through a subscription?

#8A buddy and I started https://goatattack.com last year. It doesn't generate a ton of revenue but we enjoy it and people seem to like it. It runs itself at this point.

#9I run a small platform for a couple of web designing friends. They can deploy webshops at the touch of a button while having full control over the design. It saves them the effort of having to ask more techy folks for assistance, and it lets me focus on more interesting things.
Started off at 3k EUR revenue a year, currently at about 2k. It doesn't cost me any effort.

How do you have something like that going and remain anonymous? Is your name not attached to the product in any way?
