Squidoo
Squidoo is similar in payment, however you can earn a direct amount of money related to the items you choose to advertise on your "lens", which is what a page on Squidoo is called. Squidoo allows you complete control over different affiliate advertising and at the end of the month you receive a portion of the income produced. Squidoo also allows for a great deal of customization on the pages which you then piece together in the order that you want to get the look you want.

ehow.com
ehow.com lets you do the same thing with how to's. Here they are recommending pictures and video to supplement you how to. There are a growing number of how to's here and this can be a great program for those interested in it.

Paid Per Sale
Getting paid per sale is a little different. You can have a semi-passive income set up, but you are less sure of when you will receive a sale and make money from it. Some of these are easier then others and some do have great earning potential.

Constant Content
Often people compare Constant Content to Associated Content however they are completely different. Constant Content takes articles on to their website to sell to those looking for articles, blog entries, and such for their websites or blogs. You write the content and submit the price that you will accept for each type of license and then sit back and wait for it to sell. Constant Content can be very profitable, however your article will be run through software to decide if it is acceptable or not. If it doesn't pass the spell check, grammar check, punctuation check, and logical order check of the software, it will be denied. I actually had an article denied for improper use of commas. To this day I am not sure where in the article the improper use was. I tried to find it half a dozen times and then gave up. However, this can be a very profitable website for those who are very good with their proper writing.

Letter Rep
Letter Rep is an even cooler website to write for. Here you write letters, both business and personal, and then they go up on Letter Rep. They can then be sold multiple times. Each time the letter sells you make $10. However, you have no idea when a letter will be sold.

A great option that is completely different
CafePress offers an option for setting up a semi-passive income that is completely different. Here you design items such as t-shirts, coffee mugs, and other house hold items and they are done on a print upon demand type of setting. CafePress supplies the items for a set price. You then mark it up for your design. You set up your shop and help to market it. CafePress deals with orders, money, printing, and shipping the item. You can sit back a little and let it all happen for you. Once your designs are up, all you need to do is market and keep making a few new designs here and there.

The more of these options that you do the safer your semi-passive income stream will be. After all you don't want to depend on only one stream and then have it disappear with the disappearance of the website. If you have multiple streams of semi-passive income this won't happen to you. Semi-passive incomes can be the key to making lots of money while you sit back and enjoy all of your hard work.
