Ancient, but here's a blog post I wrote with some ideas: http://www.puremango.co.uk/2010/10/ten-ideas/

Try pg's list of "ideas we'd like to fund". http://www.ycombinator.com/rfs/ Ancient, but here's a blog post I wrote with some ideas: http://www.puremango.co.uk/2010/10/ten-ideas/ And Jacques Mattheij's post that inspired me: http://jacquesmattheij.com/My+list+of+ideas+for+when+you+are...
If you want some more concrete ideas, in lieu of copy/pasting a previous comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5904316
Then see if that country or region has a dominant job board/classified website/real estate listing etc.
Millions of users are just coming to the internet in those countries and have room for growth. Many of the existing websites offer horrible experience.
Fork my Stopwatch app for iOS. It makes just over $5/day, and I never did much work on it. Completely open source, no real marketing. https://github.com/andrewljohnson/StopWatch-of-Gaia https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/stopwatch-+-timer-stop-watch...
I have a few other ideas in that vein, but I am curious of any traps that may be encountered.
This has been written about so much there is really no point in repeating it here. Just Google Pat Flynn. He has a whole blog about it.
Thanks for the tip, I'll do that.
He has a wildly popular blog, and he is an affiliate for a few products, most notably, hosting. He makes 30K or more per month, from this one affiliate program.
He sells an ebook, something related to green architecture.
He also builds info sites, with Adsense on them and makes a few thousand from those.
He has a couple of iOS apps I believe, built with outsourcing.
As far as I can see, none of the above is passive or even close to passive (except may be the ebook). He worked hard to get where he is, and still does. He shares much of his numbers - good inspiration if you need some.
