Do any of you have successful side passive incomes?

I see people talk on Tik Tok all the time about selling templates on Etsy or selling journals on Amazon and I always wondered how easy it was to really do that and be successful

Selling digital "how to" guides for whatever you have expertise in is a great asset !

Patreon is great. People sell them on etsy too or on your own e-commerce site. Tbh in order to make that kind of gig work you usually need a following on social too

Try Merch by Amazon.

Yep, event photography and occasional club or wedding dj gigs… have been doing both for well over a decade and mostly get them through word of mouth

Nice! Although I think OP means something you can set-up once and then forget about it to generate income.

We’ve been TTC for 7 months now. I was 10 days late for my period, took a pregnancy test 3 different times in the last week and all negative. Reading online i learned that i could be pregnant and just need the hcg levels to build up for a positive test. But last night, I had the worst cramps and now have light bleeding, and some clots 😭... this whole process is such an emotional rollercoaster.. has anyone else had a similar experience? I think this could be an early termination but not sure.

Mid-level here. Has anyone gotten their firm to approve their doing work at a deep discount and, if so, what strategies did you use? A potential client approached me directly about a small matter (~20 to 30 hr amicus brief). The potential client (gov’t) pays a standard rate ~40% lower than mine, but I want to take on the project because it would be a good professional opportunity (e.g., high profile case & client) and of course the lower rate won’t affect my comp directly. 🤷‍♀️ All advice welcome!

Stuck between 2 offers, which would you choose? Eventually I want to work in ML/AI or blockchain/crypto

Offer 1: Non-profit financial advisor, awesome culture, design process & ethos align with mine, but still beholden to some outdated backend systems. Basically won't be able to innovate for a while

Offer 2: Consultancy focused on spinning up startups in large corp. Seems like cool work but I know very little about the culture/ process. Very sales-y HR but haven't talked to designers yet
