Think affiliate marketing, or niche product creation (targeted ebooks and the like), that require a bit of upfront effort, but little ongoing maintenance, and can scale out to many of these products/revenue streams. Lots of ongoing small hits, rather than one big payoff for one big product :)

That's exactly it. Lots of small products with microtransactions targeted towards niche markets that i barely have to touch.

Passive income generation is one of the pinnacles of what we as software engineers can do.
