I made ~$4000 last month by arbitraging crypto currencies on 3 markets. I use a bot to do the work for me, but I monitor it very closely and I spend a lot of optimizing the old code. I don't have much money on the exchanges because I don't trust them but I could make much more if I wanted to risk more.

Did you get to that size of nest egg through investing?
At this point, of the 300k, about 225k is from contributions (savings) and 75k is from gains. The bigger the account gets though, the bigger a percentage the gains will be as the account grows faster than my annual income does.

I think 3rd party providers are underrated when it comes to building side income streams.
I think it's the easiest way. Creating your own app or service from scratch, marketing it, and retaining users long-term is nearly impossible (seems like). All of those problems are solved by integrating with a 3rd party.. Granted, that has it's own risks and limitations, but seems worth it for small side projects.
but can't find how revenue works on there.
Nearing $1500/mo on ads and affiliate links, been running since 2009, did not monetize until 2015: https://worldoftea.org/
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
I screen scrape camping reservations and send out notifications when a campsite becomes available. http://reserve.wanderinglabs.com/ Currently working on integrating the new CA reserve website. It is a shit show.
My domain name and social media handle search tool has been humming along nicely for 5+ years now and produces a modest amount of profit each month. https://namevine.com/ It makes money from domain name registrations it refers via affiliate links. I've been playing with the idea of adding "pro" features for a couple of years now but I worry anything that detracts from its simplicity may hurt sales.
I'm a fan of namevine. I use it when I'm brainstorming projects or figuring out names. As for a pro feature - I think that notification when something becomes available or a domain/account marketplace might be useful.
What would be an example of the notification you're thinking of here? Like domains matching a keyword? Or a specific one?
The idea of a marketplace definitely does make sense. Were you thinking as a buyer or seller?

Just a note on twitter - it looks like there is a false positive for the availability of 'wood' There isn't an (obvious) account with that name, but twitter doesn't let me register it. I don't know if it is a blocked keyword or private or what.
I've been maintaining a manual list (thanks for the @wood addition) but otherwise haven't really figured out a way to definitively sort through these.
I make over 700$ per month through patreon for my open source work, primarily https://github.com/ory/hydra . Hydra started as a side project for a work-for-hire project. After getting bashed by people for it being trash (it was, mostly due to bad dependencies but also due to bad architecture), I rewrote it (and the libraries enabling it) and now it's one of the go-to services for getting an OAuth2 server up and runni…
