To make the answer as simple as possible – passive income is earned from something you put a lot of work upfront into, then leave alone and start generating income without any additional work.
For example, if you create an online course in the beginning you need to invest time creating the actual course but once is completed you just get it up and running and you will make passive income even while you sleep. Amazing right…
I’ve been obsessed with passive income since I started blogging back in 2009. My first time making money online was from passive income and running ads on my blog. I woke up to a whopping .20 cents and was so EXCITED at the idea of making money even while sleeping.
Selling Digital Prints On Etsy
I started my journey on Etsy in 2016. As a blogger, freelancer, and affiliate marketer I didn’t want a store where it would consumed all of my energy so I decided to sell printables. As a side hustle I made over 20K my first year on Etsy. I do have some items that are custom designs but I have it set up that all I do is edit the names and date and its completed within minutes.

Hi Mary,
I would do some market research to see if the product your trying to sell on Etsy is something that is currently trending and if there is a market for. That’s where you should began.

I found you through your YouTube video about passive income ideas to sell on Etsy. You must never sleep with all the side hustles on top of a regular job. I’m very impressed!
I’m a jewelry maker and have been designing a line to sell on Etsy, but I’m having some difficulty defining my niche or sticking with something consistent.
One of my favorite techniques is designing patterns to etch on metal. I discovered a love for surface pattern design and I’m now thinking on focusing on that as well because it would be passive income with minimal investment where making jewelry requires new stones, metal, beads, tools, etc.
I need to do some market research and I’m taking an online course on surface pattern design. Your video and post came at the perfect time for me to change courses a bit and do something that may have a better return in the long run.
