On: How I Make $2,000 Every Year Without Doing Very Much

[Timothee]

I'm probably not enough of a graphic designer or artist in general to do exactly that, but this post made me realize how I should really think of ways to make some money on the side.

And also that, just trying can sometimes be enough!

What would you see as the closest thing to stock photos for a programmer? You can sell your software of course, but it feels like it needs a lot more investment and that a few hours at night on one small bit of software won't make it.

I set up djangohosting.org, which was just a static site w/o any server side programming. Affiliates are making me about 90/mo.

It did take about 8 months for traffic to slowly build up to this point though.

You should set up DNS for www.djangohosting.org also...

Thanks! I never even noticed, I'll set it up with a wildcard subdomain.

Nice idea! Looking at the links on that page, it seems that WebFaction is the only one which is an affiliate link. Is that the case?

[hbien → sant0sk1]

Yup, I use WebFaction for all of my hosting.

To make more money I should probably add referrals/affiliate links for Dreamhost and Slicehost. All 3 hosts are the most clicked on the site.
