At HN, passive income usually comes from software, but tons of people make it from online retail. I formulated a skin cream and a lab makes and ships it. The majority of the work is website creation/maintenance and branding/promotion. After you get rolling, it is only about an hour or two of work a week at most. I get the impression that many people want to stick solely to their domain and lose sight of the possibility of using their skills to have a competitive advantage in a different market. I am not sure if you were looking for numbers or a different story, but I hope this helps.
