Mainly I have sold it because tax law in Poland sucks and it was too much to maintain all sales and be ok with all legal things. Moreover it took much more than you can think to promote such website.

It is a tool provided by Amazon. You just choose products and customize design.

Some of them are build in a few days and then maintained with a 2-3 hours per week per site. Some of them are build a lot longer but do not need maintenance at all but more promotion.

It looks that I know how to do it quick (build/promote). Plus my record for PageRank 4 is 2 weeks before google pr update.

iPhone needs Mac for development (and of course iPhone). Android does not. Moreover I believe that on long term Android may be more profitable.

As I wrote in post I am not going to do it long term. It is just a temporary job for some quicker cash and I am working hard to build some steady passive income from other sources.

It is long term income. I know personally a few guys that are making thousands of dollars from same amount of photos I have (but they are much more talented than I am).

From stock photo I got no more downloads even when my post is on top of HN. I got two referrals that made me $20 bucks (but I am unsure if it is from HN). About ebook I got just a few sales after posting here - most is from promotion on mar

Thanks steve for valuable comments. I am doing it almost all the time. And meantime I am working on projects. Unfortunately I have only 24h per day and I still want to spend some time with my wife and my little kid (1 year old).

Thanks for a valuable comment. The problem is that I can not do all things at once. And I have precise business plan for making money on things I write about. If I will not be able to realize it I may try ebooks again. But I am not too tale

You just need to fill some profitable niche and you can make a way more. I know people that make 5 figures on istockphoto.

Yes it does. I have described in one of my previous posts that it is what I earned monthly in my full time job. It is why it was a goal. Not sure where are you living but in Poland $1000 is enough for usual everyday living expenses...

That is exactly what I believe in. I am trying to do project that can be run in 2-3 weeks from start and if it got some attention then I work on it to make it bigger.

I am still going to work on my photos and make as much income as possible with it. But I do not feel good with ebooks for a long term. If ads will not bring me a revenue I expect I will rather move only to photos. But I really believe in lo

I know that some people report a huge affiliate commissions with Amazon... but for me it is a really bad converting website. Mostly I send traffic from just a one website - computer hardware niche. Looks not to be a good choice but I do not

This is my very first attempt with mobile soft and it was my first bet (to use AdMob). But I am going to implement mediation layer to my soft so I would easily be able to "swap" ads and test what brings me best income.

This ebook has been done "by accident". As a developer I want to make passive income from selling many copies of application or via ads on web pages/in software.

Thanks Steve. I have been thinking about it. But it does not fit my long term business model. I am developer and want to make web and software development my main income source. And as I want to make it passive I am doing it by putting ads

I am independent developer and do not go to full time job - so every cent is important to me. Sorry if it is a problem that I make free apps and need to make some money for a living...

I knew very very basics. I have tried a few times to learn it but never had a real reason too. But now I really wanted to go into mobile software development and had to learn it better.
