I run https://rrandomize.com (it ships random items to you). It's currently earning about $150 a month or so. Most of the money comes in through one-time payments, since I pocket the change after purchasing an item for the user. The idea is simple, so it didn't take much work coding at all. I'm still pretty new to web development so this was a chance to practice execution and security.

That's awesome, I was about to ask if it was inspired by the xkcd before reading your about page. How many people currently have the "adventurer" or "conquistador" plan? Can you provide examples of items you've bought in the past? Actually, you should probably put that info on your homepage.
Around 50 people have those plans right now. Some recent items that have been shipped are: a solar powered cockroach, bacon candy canes, and a pedometer. I was planning on building a live stream of items being ordered, but I'm waiting on more users to sign up before implementing that feature.
