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.

http://www.rippedrecipes.com 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-interview/ 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.

I build a website (http://www.iprank.tv http://www.iprank.tv), a hub for fresh and funny pranks, which makes me about $1k per month.

I have a cellphone site I bought from flippa for 4k that generates from $400-$1000 every month. Tried buying other sites but they were all duds. This one has made over 25k since I bought it.
