Anyone here have a successful side hustle with something like etsy

I'm a graphic designer that's looking to figure out a 'passive' income side hustle... But no clue what is actually worth investing in doing.

The only thing I have somewhat successfully done, but I think is mostly by fluke/dumb luck, was sell digital files on etsy.

I couldn't figure out a particular theme to go with so my products felt abit random.. I created worksheets for daily planners, CBT, daily affirmations etc... And sold them either individually or bundled and made $12 in a couple days. I took down the store because I wasn't sure I'd have the time in my personal life to maintain and add to it.. But I'd really like to try again with more of a focused product this time. Problem is I have no clue where to start.

Anyone here experienced with etsy or similar? If there is a better platform than etsy I'd like to know. I would make better profit with my own site but I have no clue how to dive into advertising and maintaining a website.


just want to say thanks everyone who has taken the time to respond. I love reading everyones stories and I find it really helpful .^
