Writing a book, even a shitty one and put it on Amazon. It won't be a fortune, but it's not bad. I wrote 10 straight up garbage ebooks that I put up on general finance stuff (from shit I saw rehashed from Dave Ramsey and Fox Business) a few years ago... and I still get checks for $50, $100, $200 for that occasionally.

In my opinion, all your efforts should go towards designing a cover, a professional looking cover fools people into thinking they're getting a legit book... not advice like:

Mostly stickers and a few T-shirts every once in a while. I take normie memes (esp pop culture based) and make them larger and into a .png file so they make good stickers or shirt designs.

I got one. First thing you gotta do is post a few back page adds in some fag mag for a new amazing dildo. call it something like the ass tickler 5000....something that gives the best orgasms in the world. You give an address and have them make checks payable to an ordinary sounding company name. Burt's Bits or something for example.
After you've cashed the check, you tell them there's an issue with the manufacturer and the product is no longer available. Send them a check for the refund, only this time from an company name like "Ass tickler's R us" or something equally lewd. Guaranteed, 9 times out of 10 they will not cash that check, cause they don't want their bank manager knowing they like tickling asses.

If you guys do decide to use RB (and there are other sites out there with potentially better margins for you, I’ve probably sold over $1000 worth of stuff but have made $250 in total) MAKE AURE YOU ADJUST YOUR MARGINS. Passive owl has a video on it. The first month that I made $19, my sales volume was half of what I sold this month, but I made 20% of what I made this month. I was getting like 30 cents per sticker then, but since I’ve increased margins I make roughly a dollar per sticker. I could have made 3x what I did the first month if I’d changed them early. And of course $100 a month really isn’t that much, but it’s all from a single successful design. If I had 3 designs of similar caliber...or 6...were talking real passive income money equivalent to a small rental unit. But this requires literally no effort or monetary input on my part. I just paid like $50 for a cheap Wacom tablet for drawing, and I am not a good digital artist

Are the designs your own or do you essentially take a meme and trace it with no added stylization? Isn't copyright an issue with pop culture stuff?

Get into a position where you can get sandbox accounts which aren't trapped in a sandbox server.

You might even be the programmer who gives himself money or more creatively creates a very personalized glitch in the spaghetti code which can be accessed only by a faggot that knows what to do.

Getting exp and into a higher position is simply if you want to scam like a pro, like a politician. So low scam hustling is still doable and related to the thread's subject.

I get most of my passive income from dividend growth stocks from my dividend portfolio and capital gains from my mutual funds.

I want other streams. thought about writing a dividend investing blog, ebooks and starting a youtube channel. I make about $21K in passive income but that required a bunch of capital and time.

Looking for other things that I can get passive or semi-passive income

Looks like we have the uTorrent of merch here

step1: make a website that translates memes to chink labor

step2: take yourself out of any copyright issues by only acting as a middleman for the "artist" (pirate) and the chink (protected by Chinese law)

Have users submit all manner of copyrighted images and chinks shit it out, all so basedboy bugmen can display their latest fetish on their clothes and $1200 iPhone

sounds /biz/ to me...

Lol, you right. 100% of my shit is "pirated". Although, I do photoshop things a bit. For example, with that lain shirt, I had to put it on a transparent background and do some minor editing to make sure it's not completely fucked looking/pixelated.
