I bought a site last summer that sells YouTube intro videos for $5/$10 a pop: http://introcave.com I made about $13k off it, which sounds good but was really only about $20/hour. Hoping to grow it quite a bit this year and then start offloading tasks. I don’t know if I can ever get it truly passive, but that’s the dream.

Where did you find the site to buy it?

It really depends what 'passive' is defined as, but I can share some:

- Recharged - $2720 / month. I write a briefing once a morning about the technology industry, about 350 people pay to receive it + sponsor something without advertising or nonsense tech stories. Still growing! https://char.gd/recharged

- Write Together (new project, but hey) - $1,200 / month. I built a platform for learning to Write with others, based around building habits/streaks. https://writetogether.space

Now the thing is, both of these require maintenance, but not like a full-time job: I push code, write on them, etc. But they're not fully passive, so it's quite a specific difference -- still wouldn't trade working on them for anything, however.

I'm not a YouTube creator so not the target market, but this is something I could see myself using if I did create videos. Seems to add good value for the cost, although I don't know what the competition/landscape is like.
