I'm looking for lifestyle business ideas/opportunities that can let me have sustainable monthly income of $1000 or more per month. What suggestions do you have?

Here are some technology skills I am good at -

HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, BootStrap, jQuery, angular.js, PHP/CodeIgnitor, Python/Django/Flask, C, MySQL, MongoDB.

I'm good at both UI/UX design and programming.

Here are some things that immediately come to my mind :

1) Design themes/templates and sell it on sites like themeforest

2) Write ebooks and share your knowledge/expertise

3) Write custom premium php scripts like HN, Reddit clone and sell it.

4) Develop premium wordpress plugins

I actually tried to go that route and turned back. There's just too much headache with WordPress to do it every day.

So what you ended up doing?

Do people buy clone scripts?

I know at least a dozen people who want to buy a Reddit/HN clone written in PHP, integrated with Wordpress/Buddypress, mostly to use for niche community sites they have.

Setup a service converting PSD files into Bootstrap layouts. Huge demand and you could easily do 5~10 a month and make $1000 (depending on what you charge for each one).

A task-based SEO service for small businesses. Charge $29-79/mo for X tasks. Tasks are basically content creation or link building. If you template out HTML pages and build some niche sites, I think you could easily scale it to 25 or 50 customers ($1-2k/mo)

FYI my wife is considering doing this aimed at wedding professionals.
