Also, as commented below - I posted the first of these recurring income threads almost two years ago - I'm now compiling some stats, data and insights [1] for myself so that I can learn how to boost my numbers closer to yours :)

It's good to be back!

I guess it was around 864 days ago that I posted the original one of these threads!

My current stats:

$~500/mo from a few supplement related websites, and some fitness stuff. Last worked on these back in April. Total work/month is roughly 30 minutes.

My current project:

Doing the research so that I can boost this to around $5000/mo :)

I figure this is as good a time as any to announce that I'm actually putting together a little recurring project of my own - and it's pretty meta.

It's pure stats and useful information on who generates recurring income, how much work they had to do to get there, what they learned/should've done/shouldn't have done. I'm researching this purely for myself, because I want to get to more recurring income faster (because recurring income is so, so, so freeing) - but a few friends asked me to package it up so I'm doing so!

Check it out [1]. Also I figure I should post it to HN, so I'll update this comment when I do so :)

Thanks guys - and really glad to see this thread live on longer than when I first posted it almost three years ago!

A cool iPhone app made by a well known HN user.

Ask HN: Frustrated with the quality/price of your outsourcers?

I want to solve this. Email me (in profile)Just looking for ~15 people would be interested in testing this out or providing feedback - I would probably charge at around 50% of the actual price so I don't lose too much money.My thoughts are to provide the quality of $20 an hour outsourcers for around $15 an hour, by interfacing with the outsourcers themselves and ensuring everything is...
