Sell photos, vectors, and video clips into Adobe's stock library and earn a royalty each time one is licensed. Every file goes through review, and income only becomes real once you have a large, well keyworded portfolio.
Earning potential is a curated estimate of how far this can scale, not a promise. Actual pay depends on your market, hours, and effort. For the investing category, this is general information only, not personalized financial advice.

Build and sell your own online course under your own brand, with more control over pricing and student data than a marketplace platform gives you.
Sell WordPress themes, HTML templates, and plugins to a huge built-in marketplace. You need real design and code skills and have to pass a strict review, but a single popular theme can earn for years with only occasional updates.
Sell ebooks, templates, presets, or a small course directly, with a simple checkout and no marketplace fees eating into every sale beyond their flat cut.
Self-publish ebooks and print-on-demand paperbacks to the biggest bookstore on earth, keeping most of the royalty. Writing and editing a book that actually sells is the hard part, but there's no inventory and it pays out monthly for years.
Printables, planners, and templates sell well here because buyers are already searching Etsy with intent to buy, unlike a brand-new storefront with no traffic.
