Oh well, it's hardly an income but I created a rhyming dictionary years ago where one adsense container pays for all my personal hosting bills. http://rhymebox.com/ http://rhymebox.de/
I've used this a bunch of times for my sick raps! Thanks :)

#142Why does everybody list books, webapps and mobile apps as passive income? I hope you created them yourself. Then they are not passive income but a product. Like every product they have a lifetime, then you need a new product. Therefore you actually have a first or second active business and not a passive income. "Passive income" is rent for condos you own, or having shares in your friend's profitable business that yi…
That condo has to come down someday my friend.

#145A few years ago, I wanted to build an oscilloscope in my pocket, so I went ahead and did it. Then I wanted a spectrum analyzer, and then an equalizer. 1) oScope — an oscilloscope in your pocket. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/oscope/id344345859?mt=8 2) Octave — a real-time audio analyzer. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/octave-an-rta-for-the-iphone... 3) Fourier — a spectrum analyzer. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app…
Here's a perspective from the other side: I purchased Octave and having used it, and asked for a small feature (single-tap to pause). You told me that you don't have much time and will work on this feature when you have time. I understand that, but it's disappointing from the consumer point of view. I wish I knew that before I dropped $5. Basically, it sucks to be stuck on the "passive" receiving end of a passive inc…
Come on, you spent $5 for an app. For a working app! This is a pretty low price. Actually, it's basically nothing. Of course you can't get support and are not entitled to feature requests at such a low price tag!

I guess you can still like someone as a person while you dislike them as a developer.
It's nice to hear both sides of the story.

#147Bought the app Sleep Cycle Calculator from its previous owner. Completely redid the interface for iOS 7, and I'm now finishing up a version with a custom UIView. I paid a designer to completely redo the interface, but then iOS 7 happened. Lost a lot of customers with the transition, because I had to throw away the new design and start again. http://appstore.com/sleepcyclecalculatorwakinguprefreshed
Where do you buy these kind of apps from?
Bought mine on Apptopia. As far as I can see, it's the (only?) most reliable and most solid market place.

#148Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's not strictly speaking passive income, but capital gains.
That depends, he might be day trading with a bot, that's (largely) passive.
That would indeed be passive income but OP appears to have bought the coins a year ago and has kept them as a speculative investment. Seeing as the wheel of fortune has landed on Tuesday, OP has made a capital gain! :-)

#149My first Android app: Scratchpad https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avabodh.sc...
I made it to learn Android development. It took me total of 5 days: 2 days to learn basic android stuff then next two days to develop this app and on last day creating dev account and publishing on Android store.
After publishing I forgot the password of signing key I used, so I never updated this app except for a description change. Initially there was almost no revenue but it increased over the time as the download count increased. After two year(of publishing), it is giving me around $70/per month through ads (admob).

I can assure you as my wife and I are starting into the rental business that leasing a residence is not passive.
Another adjective springs to mind, also beginning with "P-A"...
