Opened a truly passive income Etsy shop that's printable cards[0] and another of Christmas ornaments that's largely passive (I just have to run the designs through my laser cutter and package them)[1]. I anticipate that one to ramp up in the coming month (if favorites/views are any indicator).
My biggest income maker has actually been the least passive: dollhouse furniture[2]. Even then it's only like a couple hours of work a week, and I cleared four figures my first month open (this past month). Plus, it's really fun to design and build tiny furniture.

- person_of_color 6y agoArent laser cutters like 5k? Have you recouped that? Also, did you create the designs
- jeremymcanally 6y agoOh, totally. I have a Glowforge that was about $4k I think, and we're a member of a makerspace that has like a $40k laser cutter we use. But we've easily re-couped that through my stuff, my wife's business doing laser cut/engraved signs, and custom work for folks (e.g., signs for businesses, putting artists' works on ornaments, etc.). And yep I do all the designs using a mixture of Illustrator and Procreate on my iPad. :)
