Very good question. What are some passive streams of income that you folks have?

I don't really have any worth mentioning at the moment. I probably make an extra $25 to $50 a month without doing anything special. Play some poker, win some lottery tickets, find money on the ground, sell something that somebody gave me! LOL.

I'm one of those people who just has a full time job. That's basically how I get most of my money. That's going to change within the next year or two.

For a while, I was playing around with websites, domain names, and web hosting. I made plenty of mistakes and wasted plenty of time, but after a few months, I was starting to make small profits. In about a 9 month time period I learned 30 times more than I could have imagined when I started. Then, I quit doing all of that after realizing that I was doing it for the wrong reasons. I didn't believe my websites were helping people or anything, I was just making them for money! I was just doing all of it for money! And I hate boring computer work, so after I gave up on all that stuff, I've been having a lot more fun. At least now I know that if I ever need to make a website for a reason, I will be able to do so with no problem. But I'm not doing it backwards anymore, which was making the websites and then trying to rationalize reasons why I was doing so.

Anyway, good luck to everyone trying to create new streams of income and kudos to everyone who has them already.

edit - Part of the reason my online ventures failed was because I didn't believe my websites had any value, so I was not willing to put in any advertising effort at all.
