30-year-old works ‘2 hours a day’ on her side hustle and makes $22,000/month in passive income—here’s her typical week

In 2020, I was working two marketing jobs and putting in grueling 80-hour workweeks. But my real passion was creating art.

So in April 2020, I started DomoINK as a side hustle. It has since blossomed into a successful art and home decor brand. I make $22,000 a month in passive income from online sales through my website, Etsy, Society6, and retailers like Target and Home Goods. I’ve also collaborated with major brands like Disney, Samsung, Lowe’s and Dr. Martens.

If I can, I take Saturdays and Sundays to unwind. Sometimes I’ll go on a date with my fiancé, or I’ll hang out with family and friends. If I stay home, I love browsing for eclectic decor inspiration online.

I spend time brainstorming what comes next

On Fridays, I often update my website and come up with new product ideas. I’m always looking to give my customers more options like puzzles, kitchenware, art prints and apparel.

Over the last year, I’ve taken on more freelance projects. Two of…
