I've have/had many side projects that make small side income.

1. A tshirt site. This one is a step above cafepress. I designed all my tshirts but also had them printed on really nice alternative apparel shirts and people bought them.

2. A photo sharing widget that integrated w/ Flickr and SmugMug that people would embed into their blog/website. I put Adwords on the site.

3. A hot or not site for twitter with ads on the site. This still surprisingly generates more traffic than all my other sites combined.

4. A social media dashboard site w/ some decent analytics. This was geared towards marketing and pr firms.

5. Put up a Youtube review of the Iron Gym Pullup bar that did really well SEO wise and got rev share from Google/Youtube. I get a check from Google every 6 months or so.

6. An instant book search site - http://Shelfluv.com - got a few dollars from affiliate sales.

7. An iPad app that shows inspirational business quotes.
