Brilliant! I hope it does make you rich. It certainly made me laugh.

Tell us more please. :P

I co-run http://vsual.co . We make five figures of monthly revenue, and generally my partner and I work 8:30-10 AM before our "regular" jobs. We're growing at a moderate pace—for now this is passive(ish) income, but one day we may dive all in.

Thanks! My goal right now is just to keep it humming along and polish it off

Just curious, what kind of conservative portfolios are you investing in? I was recently trying to get my wife and I invested in something similar, but didn't find many products. We are very risk adverse and recently (after maxing out 401ks) have been "hoarding" saved money in our bank, which doesn't help much.

Yes please share. As a new active investor, I've been trying to come up with a strategy that could provide that.

I co-run a blog[0] that gets a few hundred hits a day. We sell a handful of products per week at $40 a piece.

I make about $0.05-$1.25 a day from my YouTube channel. All my old lectures from various CS courses are hosted there. I'm not sure if the algorithm's changed or if some of the videos have gotten traction for Berkeley's CS50, but I'm now one of the top results for "cs50 credit" and "luhn algorithm".
