I make about $7k a year from some books and T-shirt designs I did a few years ago. I literally do nothing to maintain them (I put in the hard work making them originally) and the money just goes in my bank each month. It’s certainly not enough to live on, I have a full time job, but it pays for our groceries.
I publish through Amazon Print on Demand services (Amazon Merch and KDP), and I have a few other stores selling items too. Basically I design the manuscripts and graphics, upload the files to the service, they list it, and when it sells they print and fulfill it and send me a portion of the profit.
One Christmas I made $8k in a month and we went on a cruise with the profit. Those were good times! It’s settled down a bit now as more people have flooded the platforms and copied all the content.

What do you make them on? Good for you!
