Here are some things that immediately come to my mind :

1) Design themes/templates and sell it on sites like themeforest

2) Write ebooks and share your knowledge/expertise

3) Write custom premium php scripts like HN, Reddit clone and sell it.

4) Develop premium wordpress plugins

I actually tried to go that route and turned back. There's just too much headache with WordPress to do it every day.

So what you ended up doing?

Still a CS student, WP was just a "funny or die" adventure for last summer. For now, I do client work and sharpen my axe with Haskell.

I wish I had an interesting idea for a web product.

Do people buy clone scripts?

I know at least a dozen people who want to buy a Reddit/HN clone written in PHP, integrated with Wordpress/Buddypress, mostly to use for niche community sites they have.
