Section 1.1 Create Custom Canvas Art on Etsy

A couple of years ago, I purchased a unique canvas painting from Etsy for my office. To my surprise, the artist was not the creator of the artwork. Instead, they utilized a print-on-demand service like Printify to manage production and shipping, requiring only the artwork from the seller.

The exciting part? You don’t need to be an artistic genius to succeed. By sourcing free stock images or designing simple motivational posters with text and shapes, you can create appealing canvas prints. Listing these on Etsy allows the print-on-demand service to handle the logistics. Prices for similar prints can range from $65 to $3000, depending on size and design, making this an excellent avenue for passive income that could potentially scale into a lucrative business.

Section 1.2 Become an Amazon Product Reviewer

Another lesser-known side hustle involves earning money by reviewing products on Amazon. To earn a commission, viewers must watch at least 30 seconds of your video review and purchase the product or a similar item.

This method is particularly appealing because many popular products have few video reviews, making it easier to rank your content. With modern technology, anyone can record straightforward product reviews using just a smartphone. You don’t even need to keep the product; you can buy it, review it, and return it if you wish. Some products can have immense sales potential, and even a handful of purchases can lead to substantial earnings per review.

Section 1.3 Reselling Products from AliExpress

Recently, I spoke with someone who successfully launched a six-figure Etsy shop by sourcing products from AliExpress, a Chinese marketplace, and reselling them at a profit. For instance, they discovered a sunset projection lamp available for $2 to $9.96 on AliExpress, which sold for $20 to $34 on Amazon—yielding a profit margin of $18 to $32 per sale!

The key lies in pinpointing high-demand items with minimal competition. Start by identifying trending products on platforms like Etsy or Amazon, then look for similar items on AliExpress. Once you set up your e-commerce store and properly list your products, consider investing in ads to drive traffic and sales.
