I make $300-$500 per month with an online design tool for printable cupcake wrappers. I don't do any advertising. I get 80-100 uniques per day. I have very few quality inbound links. I do rank high for a few keyword combos, but their monthly traffic isn't that big. I spent quite a bit of time early on writing the website, and lost some hair recently trying unsuccessfully to upgrade the OSS libraries, but for the most…
I am a data point for the worst-case example. I don't have a hot application or a popular website, and most of my money is earned the old-fashioned way. My passive income from my investments in government bonds is enough to cover mortgage, basic living expenses for my family, and two family trips a year. Source of money for investments: - savings from many years of working and diligently saving - some real estate inv…
I'd like to put some math with this because this is the path I took too. 4 years ago I was offered a job with a startup and a job with a government contractor at the same time. The contractor was offering 15k/year more and I took that offer and saved all 15k of it every year (index fund investing). 4 years in, with reinvesting dividends, my passive income from the money is around 400/month. Very happy I made the choi…
I tell everybody around me it's surprisingly easy to become financially independent. By saving s% of my income investing with a rate of return is i%, then the worst case is that I should be able to completely replace my income in i%/s% years. I was saving 30% (actually more) and investing at around 5%, which resulted in complete income replacement in around 10 years.

Thanks for the info! Just a heads up: seems like your Twitter account is suspended.
Yeah we know, happened yesterday. Thanks for the heads up.. To explain: I was experimenting with an app that it turns out breaks the twitter rules and so they've suspended us. I'm talking to Twitter now about getting us unsuspended.

How much time did you put into this upfront? Seems like the most "passive" item in the entire thread so far. Can I ask what book this is for? whats the lifespan of a solutions manual like this? Have you been selling it for several years or does it obsolete itself in sync with the aggressive textbook versioning schedules?
I guess I am lucky that the text book still gets prescribe in some universities. I also think there is no other version of the text (I need to check that) I do not maintain it at all. And like I said, I solved most of the questions as part of the assignments and later worked out the left over ones, packaged it into a pdf.

This is fascinating. It took me a while to discover the purpose of subscribing to this data, and I finally found it at https://www.hhsmithy.com/tour "Finding the best tables to play on is impossible without up to date statistics and data on the player pool and consistently playing pots against opponents with no reads or statistics is a sure fire way to lose your bank roll fast." How do you harvest this data? Do you u…
The data is used with 3rd party tools that scan tables, find the best seats, display statistics etc. The most popular tool is holdem manager ( http://www.holdemmanager.com/ ). After buying data off our site you can import hundreds of millions of hands and have detailed info on almost every player on a poker site (how often they raise, fold, call etc etc). If you also scan tables and sit with the "fish" (recreational…
I didn't post on the last threads I think, but I have had some modest success with passive income, was making up to 700 euros a month 2 years ago, this is down to 130 euros a month now. Still not too bad considering I haven't really touched the site for almost 2 years. But my heart isn't in that kind of projects anymore. Passive income is a bit overrated in my experience. Still nice to get a small check at the end of…
Thank you for writing that post.
http://thehorcrux.com/ currently making $400-$500. Fluctuates a bit. I haven't done much marketing (apart from a Show HN) I'm not even sure how people are finding it. My analytics software says 85% come from "Direct Traffic" which is weird.
Run a consulting firm. Make about $250,000 per month.
I make ~$400 per month off of https://itunes.apple.com/app/the-wiki-game-a-wikipedia/id459... (and counterpart: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wiki-game-hd-wikipedia-game/... ). I started 'The Wiki Game' by building this web game: http://thewikigame.com - but all revenue comes from the iOS apps, not the site. Been meaning to potentially monetize the site some day. It gets ~30,000 players per month, with time-on-site…
