Passive income: I'll split it with you if you have the idea and I program it

**nonrate** · 05-22-2009 01:03 PM

I have the skillz to programatically create pretty much any type of passive income generating engine you can think of. If you have something simple in scope that can start making cash right away, I'll split the income with you. Think automation and functions, things that are not available in out-of-the-box websites, but your idea needs to have a good chance of success. Also, in cases of any maintenance in the concept (adding content, etc.), I would not be able to keep up with it as I would be programming. You must demonstrate that the idea has a very good chance of working the way you think it is!

If you are frustrated because you have ideas for making passive income on the net, but don't have the hundreds to thousands of dollars to build the website, I'm the perfect partner. I'm also not asking for cash-in-hand, which means I will be selective about the ideas.

I'm happy to sign any NDA's to guarantee I don't steal your idea. I'm just flat out in ideas and don't have the time to maintain content building, and really want to get some passive income websites launched. Please PM me if you are interested. Thanks

I love it!

Do you have an idea where we do no work but make money... I'll help you do nothing if you split the money with me!

WOW! What a splendid idea!!

So you're saying that computer programmers don't do work? This is the reason why people expect web sites for $100. Ignorance...

There is initial work, more on my end for this concept, to get launched. It's like saying writing a book is making money by doing nothing. Not at all.. you put time once into writing a book and if people like it, it passively creates income after you launch it.

I am looking for ideas of a web-based service, reliant on technology, that does the same thing. You build the technology once, and the service keeps building money. This can be an engine that automatically creates content for you, like lists etc. I once built a module that parses all craigsliist city RSS feeds so you can write custom searches for them and have daily results emailed to you on custom search criteria. I didn't wave a magic wand and sprinkle fairy dust on my computer to make this happen (that would actually be doing "something" instead of "nothing" even if I did do that). It was work, up-front.

Did you completely read and comprehend my post before commenting? I'm curious how you got the impression I was asking for folks to partner in making money from nothing. Because by your philosophy, vending machine operators, book authors, etc. all make money from doing nothing.

I see what you're saying, nonrate. You're looking for someone who has the idea, you have the means of making it happen. Once the idea is developed you'll both collect the passive income. Both of you will bring something to the table, everyone's happy.

Good luck.

There is no such thing as passive income... you are always having to work to promote the site... yes development cost money.. .but it doesn't make you any initially.. so saying you will design a site to create passive income is ignorant!

If you were to say I would like to partner with someone and I'll do the design work if you do the marketing and we split income 50/50 that is realistic... what a bunch of garbage!

ugh... more ignorance... go ahead and try creating passive income in this manner... your whole generation is lazy! Everyone wants passive income... they don't want to work... the reality is that passive income DOES NOT EXIST!

Why is it garbage? Explain... I completely disagree with your analysis so far, BTW.

No one said I was trying. I have no interest in this opportunity, I'm not even in the website industry.

My generation's lazy? You don't even know which generation I'm from and I work 21 hour days and spend the other three hours sleeping so I wouldn't exactly agree that I'm lazy. No one works harder than I do.

Have you had bad experiences with opportunities like this? Sounds like it.

Roger,

Working smart is fine. Working stupid is not.

What's happened today is our older generation has taken the spoils of the greatest generation, coked themselves up and partied, drank and pissed it all away, has led themselves to believe they have been "working hard" while sitting in meetings, gossiping and stuffing their faces full of donuts. Oh yeah, and left the mess for us lazy youngsters to clean up. We are sitting on all your debt so you could go to the Cayman islands every year and drink margaritas and work hard writing your weekly report, so of course we're going to look for as many ways to earn cash because we see that your life of luxury is not in our future, but paying your debts is.

Passive income certainly exists. I don't know how many millionaires you have known, but I've met a few dozen and interviewed them all. They all make money "passively" from something they have invested in. I cited two easy to understand examples of what my idea of passive income is and how it works.

Of course, work is involved to build the item and to maintain it. But not a constant 40hrs. a week. You've completely missed my point, and you are dead WRONG... passive income is a possibility and it does work. I've seen others do it. I am not smart enough to come up with the idea to make it work today. I am smart enough and have the skills to build the idea, however.

Also, someone who limits their imagination to believing slave-labor is the best and only way to make money, well you keep working hard then and earning scraps. I'd prefer to work smart and fail 10 times before I find a winning solution.

It doesn't sound like Roger has a bone to pick with your post in particular. What it seems like is he's tried to do this before and failed, and due to frustration, he's attacking anyone else that attempts it because a) he's pissed that they think they can make it work when he couldn't and b) he doesn't want someone else to be able to do something he failed at.

If he really didn't care he wouldn't have replied. Something made him reply, a strong emotion such as anger, frustration, or jealousy.

That's how I see it. Either way, this is a completely pointless argument. It's not providing any benefit to anyone who participates...except maybe Roger who gets to vent his frustration...but ultimately will pay the price of looking like a disgruntled, pessimistic fool who, by the way, is probably part of the generation that he's calling lazy.

I have to meet with my legal team. I don't have the time to babysit this thread for the rest of the evening. My assistant would like to be able to actually enjoy some of her holiday weeked. I'll check in later, but this really isn't worth arguing about. Everybody has their own viewpoint about whether or not passive income is possible. Nobody's going to change their viewpoint from you bashing their comments. You don't need to agree with their viewpoint. Respect it and move on, don't waste your energy.

That was so funny I soiled my diapers!

The problem is the pointless debate, and I agree the concept is pointless, has destroyed the thread. It will now most likely not yield the responses I am looking for. I tried to balance the response, but roger did not initially respond to the question with a relevant answer, he gave an opinion.

I'll try again in a week with a fresh thread. But if anyone is not put off by our crying, please feel free to respond, I'd love to hear from any one that is interested in pursuing or expouding upon this idea. Thanks.

Not that I care to enter this argument you guys are having but I thought I'd throw out my 2 cents worth of comment on the passive income argument. I have sites that have not been touched or updated or maintenance in several years now that are still ranked and bringing in passive income. Long story short, it does exist, its just a matter of people who know how to get it to work. There are many that try and fail. And eventually they will go about saying it does not exist. It does exist because it exists for me, that much is already certain.
