I am running na online art gallery specializing in AI art. Recently, instead of just printing the art on canvas I started using even real robots to paint it down [1]. Still it is only a small passive income but looking forward to make it really big as I believe this thing is a historic moment in time where art and tech started to converge into one.

I run https://www.checkbot.io/ myself while doing consulting. It's a Chrome extension that checks multiple pages at a time for common SEO, speed and security issues. I started working on it initially to automate checks I was often doing manually while developing websites for others. Developers I worked with found it useful so I spun it out into its own product. I wrote the online guide on the website too that explain…

Hey, I remember when you launched on Indiehackers! Glad to see you're still going, and hopefully growing?

This just launched, but I imagine I'm soon to be rich in other people's screams. https://justscream.baby

I love the idea of providing a platform to share rage/frustration or whatever in such a raw mode, without the destructive/negative comments. Just pure emotions.

I built a webapp with hundreds of SQL and python questions to help aspiring data scientists practice for their interviews. It's not really passive because it was a massive undertaking to write the questions/solutions and create the app. Now I got to market it by creating video solutions and posting it on Youtube. But I created it to help with my other side job which is teaching data science in the evenings at a university.

Riding a nice bike is an exercise in something that costs $20-$40 always needing fixing every so often. So I do Uber Eats when I ride every so often to offset that. Almost time for new rims though. It's not passive exactly, but it's getting paid to do something that's 80% the same as what I was going to do anyways. My onlyfans makes way less so far, but hope springs eternal.

This is pretty cool, How much sales do you usually get? You have any marketing channels?

Did many side projects over the years, never having monetized any of them, so monetizing was indeed my goal in 2020. I monetized 2 of my projects.

First one was Newsy (https://www.newsy.co) - which allows people to turn their un-used domains into something useful - a tool I built for myself first and slowly let others in. It's been a little slow since I'm not doing much marketing, but getting the first ~10 customers was an awesome experience.

Second was my long-term project - SideProjectors (https://www.sideprojectors.com) - a market place for selling & buying side projects - monetized with some standard elements - ads, pro membership, sponsors - all of them turned out to be great way of getting some side income.
