I'll answer this, even though I think it's just karma-bait.

My best passive income is a piece of software I made in one week that processed payments for school events (field trips, clubs, etc). I've made over $120,000 in two years with it.

Great job! What made you make it in the first place? Did you know there was a need for it?

For God's sake, these sort of threads pop up every week. No one has a magical formula that you can just copy. There are thousands of ideas in the other 200 threads about passive income. Please just stop... really.. stop.

actually I'm always very inspired by what people are working on, and these type of threads are one of the few reasons i still come to hn regularly.

so please, by all means keep sharing. if others don't find it useful they can just ignore these threads

http://www.rippedrecipes.com My cousin and I started this site a couple years ago, revenue is steady around $250/month, we get on average 4,600 unique hits/day ... reading other people's revenues I feel like we could do better with the traffic we get, so if anyone has any comments or thoughts, they're more then welcome!

Check out this interview on Mixergy: http://mixergy.com/interviews/lindsay-ostrom-pinch-of-yum-in...

You can pretty much follow what she did step by step (she lays it out pretty much). Her blog does about $20k/month.
