I just got a check from Google for for a web site that I run right now: the Green Light Wiki. That site was never intended to make money, though, and it took 20 months to rack up enough money to even be worthy of a check.

A web site that made, say, $500 per month would be an incredible boon to a college student, as long as it didn’t require much work to maintain. That would almost pay my rent.

I’ve got a few ideas, and some of them require as little as a few days to set up. Given the demands of school, doing one of the ideas will still require some serious discipline with time.
