What is your source of passive income? Context: http://goo.gl/0zjoKp<p>My sources: automated Twitter/Facebook pages about popular TV shows and am working on a tool for freelance devs (http://www.recurvoice.com)<p>Earlier editions of this topic:<p>https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7094402<p>https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6661536<p>https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4639271<p>https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=387789<p>https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5903868
Base income from <a href="http://www.watermark-image.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.watermark-image.com</a> - it makes some thousands every month.<p>I am using the income to build a SaaS app for my new working method called TimeBlock that helps Makers & Managers work better together and deliver a better product to their customers while being transparent and sleeping better.<p>Currently it is making 490$ in MRR from 4 customers with a total of 10 users.<p>Read more at <a href="http://timeblock.com" rel="nofollow">http://timeblock.com</a>
In 2014 I have worked on <a href="http://exmerg.com" rel="nofollow">http://exmerg.com</a> but it wasn't until recently for it to start generating some passive income. Still, the infrastructure costs (AWS) are higher than the revenue, so money wise the balance is passive (not counting the hours spent building the service which I could use for client work).<p>The positive side effect of building it was having additional source of motivation to learn new things in various fields like UI/UX design, cloud services, business operations and other SaaS related stuff.<p>The main lesson it taught me was how much hidden work needs to be done to attract users and monetize a web service. I think a start-up that would make it easier to deploy, maintain and monetize web services would be an interesting one.
