"Save My Hard Drive"
See that little link on the right? It says "save my hard drive". You might wonder why it's there.
It's a spam blog. I posted a bunch of random, other people's comments on hard drive data recovery. There are some Yahoo! ads on there - and they generated $1-2 per day in revenue! I get about $30 per month from Yahoo for that collection of crap.
Now, it's not a lot. But it pays the cable bill. It's really amazing. Imagine if you spent all your time pursuing these little ideas that appear occasionally. That spam blog to 30 min to make a few months back. If I kept creating things like that, keep multiplying them, kept creating new ideas...surely it would be worth a lot more than the day job. Unless the day job is itself such a big idea!
