#112http://www.strategic-options.com/insight makes a little bit of money.
and https://www.bestoftheinternets.com/ send videos and amazon affiliate links to facebook.
I have always used both sites as a sandbox to test out new ideas and practice new programming techniques.
Oh and my biggest passive income comes from Class Action Lawsuits.
What I have learned in the last year or so, is really just focus on what your good at. I wasted so much time silly side projects / unfinished. Figure out what your good and stick with it, in my case it's stocks and algos not connecting to Facebook API to send out silly cat videos. :)

#113I've continued running my Elixir screencast business, and added on a 2nd product, which is a starter template for apps built with the Phoenix Framework. Neither is 100% passive. The screen casting business means continuing to make a few new tutorials per month and making occasional improvements to its site. It sure pays a lot more per hour of my time than it did 18 months ago, though! The starter kit is still in alph…
I like AlchemistCamp. Hey I should've thought of your PhoenixIgniter, I kind of developed and still working on project just for me that solves same issue, I call it Phundation. I guess you are not selling it just yet anyway. Anyhow, since I have multiple projects, going through the setup is hassle and I created started project essentially.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.
About two dozen people have bought it so far and will get the updates as I build it out. I also gave access for free (at least up through the beta version) to all the people who bought annual Alchemist Camp memberships at the end of last year.
That said, if you've watched all my tutorials there will be nothing new in it except the front-end components that still aren't done.

#114Not completely passive and not really a side project, but my wife's business is teaching Latin (the language; I mean not the programming language, the language people actually speak; well, some people speak) on the Internet. She has an evergreen funnel which actually converts a few sells per month. I do the programming, hosting and server maintenance for that thing. She creates the actual content.
Of course this is not completely passive: she periodically publishes free material to keep attracting people to the funnel. But it's quite rewarding every now and then to have an email saying that some random guy bought the videocourse.

Used 1st home buyer for first house and only put $4000 down, My brother is a General Contractor and fronts all Labor and Material and agreement is some type of % split at sale of house. Remodel and we split profit 50-50. after paying taxes ended up with $26500, 2nd house paid taxes and net was $3600. I get the tax benefit and he gets side income as well. Not my full-time gig but trying to save up for down-payment on my own house and make a little on the side.
