As a freelance designer myself, I can see exactly what you mean @wallflower. One of the up sides of all the economic woes of late is that it's helped me build a resistance to the normal fears that creep in, ie. being laid off or fired. Lose a few clients and you'll quickly learn how adept you are at filling the gaps. Trading time for money is just working for someone elses dream.

I was able to bootstrap my game development website that way. $70 from ads revenue and $50 from a freelance work. However, a site that generate passive income from advertisement still require maintenance work to grow (and maybe to keep). Even so, it does make money while you sleep, eat, and work.
