Started making videos on YouTube of topics that I lookup over and over or that I would like to learn more. I prefer not to monetize my videos with YouTube ads but I've already been contracted by several major software companies to make videos for them. Definitely not passive income but I enjoy it as a different work from normal programming where I can explore stuff I am interested or even just practice talking through interview questions out loud. It's interesting to see which videos get traction. My most viewed video (https://youtu.be/8eyfmp7dtYk https://youtu.be/8eyfmp7dtYk) is one that I just made on a whim, like many of my videos, and has a bad like/dislike ratio but I've gotten constructive feedback on it in case I decide to redo it. I've learned a ton from having this channel and have made about $2k from contracting a handful of videos so far this year.
