I always make side projects to learn new things and they periodically make me a small amount of money. From most recent to oldest: Https://brand-kit.net Have not made money yet but just launched last month. Basically it is starter business branding at a very affordable price wrapped into a service. Https://scrape.email Launched at the beginning of the year and making around 100/month now. I used common crawl to index…
It's probably not what you meant, but I recently created a weekend project bot that scans facebook for apartments rental ads. Thanks to this bot, I landed an opportunity I wouldn't have catch otherwise, saving me 6,000$ a year. Assuming I will hold my new apartment for 3 years, this is a net savings of 18,000$. I haven't sold anything, but yet I created something that "generated money" for me. My code is open source…
This is great, congrats on the savings. Do you have any opinions on the ethics of web scraping? I have some projects I want to pursue that involve web scraping but I'm worried about 1) any illegal technicalities 2) is it a dick move to the website owner
Then, of course, the way you go about it is important, too. Sapping the resources and bandwidth of a small site by sending it thousands of requests a minute is very different from automatically checking a public index once an hour.

Why not incorporate somewhere that's not CA?
That's a good question... the last couple of LLCs that I've formed have been for businesses that are clearly operating in CA (one was for real estate here and the other for a local service company) and thus require the LLC there. Since I'm selling to the whole US here, maybe it is a better option... I will look into it.

Still have a bunch of features in the works but hoping it will make some money eventually.
Algotrading options. Some initial investment is needed in order to open margin account, but otherwise it's basically passive income.

Thanks for the feedback! All the extra stuff on the B&C comes from the cheddar cheese powder - for the most part they're natural ingredients (excluding things like the yellow color, etc.), but you're right, it doesn't look great. Once we get low on my current supply of cheese powder, I'm going to look into getting a food dehydrator to make my own cheese powder.
Food dehydrators are a fun rabbit hole. Florists use them for wedding bouquets. You will also find a TON of info about scrappily acquiring them on prepper websites. I've seen several posts by Mormon families (food preservation and supply is encouraged by the religion), and a lot of the good ones get into taste, methods for preparing food, and doing it in bulk (which you'd care about). But the se sites will have a lar…

What size are you looking at?
At the moment I'm buying #10 cans (which are like 3 quarts I believe), though obviously I'll try to scale that up if sales merit it.
