What kind of web services or sites can I make and run to get some vaguely passive income? I can't work a normal job but I have programming and computer system skills, surely I should be able to do something? The issue is I have no idea what normal people will pay for. Social skills are low so you guys are the only people I can really ask.

If I knew a good answer to that I would just make it myself instead of telling you

>>107909147
I don't need the amount a normal person would need. Only about $300/week.

You just need a social media site thats anonymous to a degree but not really, allows private messaging, and pretends to have underage users, then honeypot and blackmail pedos for crypto

Everyone doing this now is running some type of site hosting warez (IPTV is popular) and selling access to it on a monthly basis to normalfags. Charging them say $5-$20 a month for access to a pirate IPTV service + maybe a plex/jellyfin server hosting movies and TV shows.

Making your own website now is much harder. The search engines are libel to derank you and everyone you want to sell to is stuck on social media. It's really hard to get an independent website going now and running ads on it or something like that. It's also a much bigger pain in the ass than it used to be to get it all up and running (have to dox yourself to more than one group. Domains are more expensive now. Worrying about CF censorship and their ddos mafia). All that said it can be done. But expect to spend some money first to make money at it.

The above is why everyone is on the gib donations grind on social media. That's where people are and it's much easier when you aren't hosting your own infrastructure. I don't know why buy people actually give money to these type of people for simply existing. Maybe you can make it like that too.

Normalfags are basically retarded. They'll pay for a lot of things you wouldn't expect.

Anything that can generate considerable revenue will not be passive, it will require constant upkeep. The closest thing I can think of are social media content downloaders that serve ads and those are an uphill battle with constant API changes.

there is literally no easier way to make money than to be a wagecuck.
if you only need that much you can work part-time.
trying to make money on your own is much more difficult even if it's "only" $300 a week.
that is especially true for autists because part of being an entrepreneur is customer acquisition which is pretty difficult if you lack social skills.

The issue I have with working is that I'm not really done a lot of webdev and it's become more and more niche. I don't feel confident in joining and learning a stack. I guess the next question would be what kinds of technologies or frameworks are used enough that I could find some parttime work learning t?
>>
>>107909634
it's not very useful to ask that on an international site. job markets differ from country to country.
you'll have to just sift through the job postings in your vicinity and find roles that best fit your skills.

Monero mining.

Plot twist: you need to steal the electricity your miners use.

The only way to make money in a legal and non humiliating way (at least not that humiliating) is to get a job. Especially if you're an autist.
Just get a 9-5, anon. Join us. You may only want 300 bucks a week but your options are either 0/week or 1000/week (at the lowest).
Unless you want to part time a crappy, physically demanding job for that 300/week.
I may have to go into an office for 40 hours a week, but at least I can sit there on my phone almost the whole time.
>>
>>107909144
I don't think you can casually do this, typically you'll have to be one of the best in the world and it might take long or very long to get users.
>>
>>107912020
there are people who lucked out with niche projects, but there's no way to know what will work.
>>
>>107912064
my opinion is that even there you need to be very good, and need to have a good amount of time to "attract users eventually" on some of the projects you try

even if you start a number of niche / alternative projects (that aim to be there when the main existing thing tries to extort users too much or w/e), it more likely than not will take years...

Simple
>make 4chan but better
>shill on 4chan
>realize fucking no one will trust a new site
>realize the overwhelming majority of people online won't use anything but the biggest site of its type in general
>realize virtually every online service niche is oversaturated
>give up and get a normie job
>>
>>107912153
why would you even try to make "4chan but better"? hard to believe that this site is worth the trouble.
it's also not niche. niche would be something like a tool that generates invoices for small business owners and such.

Here's a plan LLMs won't tell you. I'll warn you though, I'm not a normal person either.
1. Get a bunch of old-ish PLCs (Siemens, Rockwell and Omron are some of the famous brands), together with their development tools (in theory you could get away with only the dev tools, but having the actual physical thing could be helpful in certain cases)
2. Reverse engineer the protection used in their project files (usually there's a password you need to enter to see the project source code)
3. Host the password-extraction tools behind a website, where users have to pay to use them.
4. Improve your SEO, so that your website will popup first when people search something like "open password protected Step-7 project"
5. Give me free access for life because I gave you the idea

There's money in anonymous proxies for posting here, but they need to be accessible via tor and paid for with anonymous digital coins because nobody's gonna trust your ass.

>>107909144
Without social skills it'll be pretty hard. Here's an idea for you: Amazon FBA website on a niche product. Did that on a whim and I get some decent passive income from it
>>
>>107909144
I don't know, maybe become a streamer or something on like kick/twitch or whatever.
Other then that yeah I agree wage cucking is honestly the most safe way to get some steady income. Oh you could also like make a shitty mobile game/app and either put ads on it or sell it, but like I said all this stuff is gonna be a gamble.

Thanks for the advice. As for getting a job my eyes are sensitive which is what's causing difficulty so even the hour transit one way will destroy them.

make courses teaching normalfags how to use AI/vibecode/whatever
you'd be surprised how many people (especially boomers) want to pay for shit that's freely available everywhere

>>107909144
build an ICE location tracker that uses fake data to trick the user into thinking its working better than it actually is
and then install a crypto-miner in it.

Nice. The feds will have to arrest you and the judge will have to send you to jail but they'll all treat you kindly during the entire process.
