I actually appreciated your answer, because its easy to lose sight of truly passive options to make money. If you don't mind, how much do you have to invest to get that $8-$10k worth of dividends?
Unless my math is horribly wrong, $8,000/year of dividends in an ETF like SDY would cost you about $400,000 right now.
I created a mobile game in 2014 that gets about 300 new users a day and generates about $1000 in pre-tax revenue a month
New 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
Just curious. Are you proficient iin both java and objective c, as in you developed both the apps natively. Again, how dependent it is on a web service? Did you do the back end yourself too? I believe answering above questions will not affect your anonimity.
Very dependent on the API, wrote the API myself in Go.

Apart from venusflytrap90, it seems that not many devs have profitable side incomes -- or maybe are not willing to speak about them.

I think the GP was asking about how your company/manager is able to keep you working there.
I'd guess it's not the company keeping GP there; it's GP choosing not to leave.
I built http://www.whatsmyua.com/ for myself back in college, it reports and breaks down browser's User Agent strings. It now brings in $20-30/month via adsense. I also built https://github.com/nfriedly/node-unblocker around the same time, it's a web proxy for evading government/corporate/school/etc. filters. When I had a copy of it online, it got a lot of traffic from around the world, and used to earn anywhere from…
I couldn't see any ads on your "whatsmyua" site. Is there anything you control on when and when not to show ads? Also, I would like to know whether that 20-30$ is consistent over months. Nice site by the way
And, looking at my history, "$20-30" is accurate for the past few months, but it was lower further back. This is the past 12 months, starting at July 2015: $12.41, 4.40, 21.29, 16.12, 13.38, 12.96, 15.56, 11.52, 23.93, 26.04, 23.84, 30.56.
It's been online since 2011 and more or less trending upwards, but last month was the first time ever to break $30.
I don't have a project but I have always been wondering if there is some open-source style software (with a license that allows this of course) that would let me customize the software and sell it to other businesses and get small recurring income as a SaaS product (like $70 a month). Think small restaurant inventory management, pricing, CRM, software for real estate brokers to manage clients, dentist online appointm…
You don't need to for most open-source software. You are free to take any GPLv2 software, modify it and host it on your own servers and charge a usage fee, all without publicly releasing your changes - it's an unforeseen catch in certain open-source licenses that only requires source release if the customer can get their hands on the binaries - if it's accessed through a browser or over the network then they lose tha…

Proficient in both Java and Obj-C. I like just going native and learning about the platform rather than cutting corners with cross platform frameworks. Very dependent on the API, wrote the API myself in Go. Hosted on Google Compute and using RethinkDB as the database.
