#42Not proud of it, but around $500/mo thanks to 3 white label dating websites. Easy money, no maintenance needed for 2 years now... Could make much more with some time invested in it!
What dating niches did you come up with? Why do you say you are not proud of it?

#43Built an iPhone app which is still featured by Apple in the new selfie category. 90$/mo with no marketing costs. :) The app called Picr. https://itunes.apple.com/app/picr-everyday-photo-reminder/id...
Congratulations! Sad though that even a featured app only pulls in $90/month. My own iPhone photo app, Liquid Lens: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/liquid-lens-real-time-psyche... actually briefly cracked the top 200 photo apps this month and pulls in more than $90 but is still only in the coffee money income bracket. After four years of the indie iOS thing I'm tooling back up to do web dev again.
Yes, I guessed it will be more. :(
How much do you get with the free version of Liquid Lens?

#44Not entirely passive due to a small amount of support emails each month, but bringing in roughly $1600-$2500/mo (slower in summer) for niche WordPress themes. That's with virtually no marketing or advertising other than a $5/day adwords budget.

#47I had a motorcycle which I had bought for 126K INR. I was not using it much except to commute from home to office. I was going to sell the bike, then suddenly this idea clicked. It took few hours to make and host indiarider.com(people can take the bike on rent). Its been two months now, I have made 15K till now, 7K last week.
Do you have a special insurance for this (I confess I have no idea how India works)? What are you going to do when someone totals it?
I have insurance like that of any private vehicle. I am not prepared for the other question you have asked, its a risk.

#48Bought a house 12 months ago which included a great tenant. Rent checks showed up early every month for the last year. So far the house has been such little work I sometimes feel confused then surprised by his hand written envelopes addressed to me in the mailbox.
Everytime I hear something like that I just suspect the tenant to be a drugdealer or something like that. Which is great since they're always so polite and respectful not to attract attention.
Thankfully he is retired military enjoying life in a quiet mountain village.
Got to be careful with drugs because the police can confiscate the house via asset forfeiture. One tenuous link between a drug dealing tenant and my bank account and the department has a new vacation home.

Are you reselling another service, doing affiliate links or running it by yourself?

#50Other than stocks and mutual funds I've only got one source of passive income.
I made a Pathfinder Ability Score Calculator last year and it got picked up by d20. There's an ad on it so I get revenue from it. Right now only about $40-50/month but it's been steadily increasing since I put it up a year ago.
A friend was going to sell me his hosting business but that fell through. That would have added about $100/month.
