I have a couple side businesses that do pretty well and run on auto pilot. I don't even spend 4 hours a month on them. I could work full time on them and double the profit probably, but it wouldn't be worth it.

This is the kind of stuff I want to read about. Are your side businesses technology-oriented?

not his example, but I made sth like 5000€ last year from this site http://lottoliste.de/ which is basically a list of german online lottery offers, I just did a price comparison and bought some adwords. Since all these sites offer lifetime affiliate payments I make like 100€ a month for 0 hours.

rakesucks.com and thestarsexchange.com. Please note that I didn't do the design for either. As embarrassing as they look, they make pretty good money.

That second one took a couple tries to parse. For a second I thought you were in the sex change business.

I wish, it would probably be more profitable. Too labor intensive though.

I knew about that interpretation of the name going in, but thought it might help. No way of knowing if it has or not, but the site does surprisingly well, so it at least isn't killing it.
