On: Ask HN: What was your best passive income in 2016?

[IAmEveryone]

210,000 Euro, divided between me and a friend.

We started a small online shop about 10 years ago, and it's mostly automated. About 5 minutes/day + one week / year of work.

Before that, I had spent a few years (trying to) run rather big software projects (for me – I was 18 or 19). They had cost me so many sleepless nights that I swore to never again take on customers paying me more than 100 Euro each. Now, if anybody complains, or gets on my nerves, they get their money back and are never heard from again.

My friends joke I'm the living example for an unconditional basic income. They haven't decided on the outcome yet, though.

Could you share more details? Was it hard to get it right? Did you need luck to get it to that level? Is it a niche?

I assume you don't sell physical products, then? Is it something you created by yourself?
