How much Passive Income do you make?
How much income do you make from apps? From your web apps? How did you do it?!
- jonaphin 13y agoInstimage.com here. I make nothing. How I do it? It's fairly complex. Step 1: Build a kickass website, take 6 months Step 2: Deal with Paypal Step 3: Rework Step 4: Deal with Paypal Step 5: Launch Step 6: Recurring Step. Post Blog post, spam your FB friends until you lose them. Step 7: It's built and they don't come. Step 8: Move onto next idea? Or repeat Step 6/7 until you're ready to move on...
- cprncus 13y agoAwesome. I'd be so into this thread if it turned into "how you fail to make money passively."
- fogonthedowns 13y agoI took your advice and created a thread. This could be more interesting.
- AtTheLast 13y agoI think it's important for people to realize that there are tons of projects that never generate income or workout as planned.
- smartician 13y agoI think I get your business idea, but I find the site quite confusing. For example this page: https://www.instimage.com/quests/diving-with-sharks https://www.instimage.com/quests/diving-with-sharks Did you shoot a photo matching the quest's description? What description? There's just title, but shouldn't there be a detailed description of what the client wants? This photo was taken by good friend from La Parguera, Puerto Rico. What photo? I don't see a single picture on that page. On the homepage there's a button "Recent Quests" which does nothing when I click it. Maybe that's because it's already showing recent entries, but why is there a button in that case? Find the picture you want When I do a search, I get other people's "quests", which may or may not have submissions yet. Maybe I don't get it, but why would showing what other people are looking for get me the picture I want?

- dangrossman 13y agoThat was asked yesterday, and the day before, and this front-page post is still on the front of the "ask" page: "How much recurring income do you generate, and from what?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6431573 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6431573
- fogonthedowns 13y agoThanks for pointing this out.
- 10dpd 13y agoRecurring is not the same as passive though.
- zachlatta 13y agoI'm working on a Bitcoin trading bot. I won't go into the details of how it works, but it's capable of making a few hundred per day, depending on how much money it's given to work with.
- fogonthedowns 13y agoThats pretty cool. but are you afraid of government regulation and not being able to convert the bitcoin into cash?
- zachlatta 13y agoIt's still profitable after taxes and whatnot. It actually takes advantage of how Bitcoin is converted into cash ;-).
