Not really passive but almost. I sell bicycle bells on etsy[1].
It started with a friend that had the idea and later left the project. Initially I joined mostly because I was interested in finding a technical solution for how to print them.
The fun tech is that I use a pen plotter. [2]
I don't really make that much money selling them but at the same time I had a 400% increase in sales this year (Thank you etsy algorithm, and probably thank you pandemic). 0 investment in marketing, I just make sure I have stock (16h of work per year probably, but hard to measure). Also this year I moved to a place where the grocery store and the mail office are in the same place and 5 minutes from my home which is perfect.
I have a a bit too much fun optimizing processes. finding weird ways to automate the writing of shipping info in the packages.
The only thing I wish I had more time to, was at improving the drawings.

- inetsee 6y agoI thought you should know: your Etsy link is returning a blank page for me.
- dahx4Eev 6y agoHow do you promote the product? Is it organically on etsy only?
- alltakendamned 6y agoThis is brilliant. Kudos on a beautiful idea !
