The first 3 ideas you come up require very little MONETARY investment, but people who have succeeded in this endeavor have tons of talent and did it for a long time. They also have something useful and valuable to say. and they have invested a lot of time in nurturing their blogs, their content, and creating the blog/book/movie script.

Steve is a success story, so are great writers. So are great movie scripts. but breaking into that area, you must have valuable content, talent, and invest a lot of time. Steve does it effortlessly now because he's been doing it so long and is really good at it.

I would advise you find out who you are first... and look at what you are good at. Most of the things you are meant to do, where you can add most value, you are probably already doing as a hobby of some sort. Once you find out who you are, what you are good at, and what you love... the value (and thus money) will flow to you.
