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.
