This Teacher’s $10K/Month “Coloring Book” Side Hustle

Ever met someone who turned doodles into a six-figure business? Meet Lisa.

Ever met someone who turned doodles into a six-figure business?

Meet Lisa. She was a teacher with zero design experience but started selling printable coloring books on Etsy. Now? She makes $10K+/month without touching inventory.

Here’s Her Playbook:

💰 Income Potential:
$5–$20 per download, scales infinitely

🛠 Startup Cost:
Free design tools (Canva) + Etsy listing fees

Marketing Hack:
Lisa found a low-competition niche in adult stress-relief coloring books and used Etsy SEO to rank her designs at the top.

She optimized her listings with keyword-rich titles and descriptions (think: "mindfulness coloring pages," "stress-relief doodle art") and ran low-cost Etsy ads ($5/day) to gain traction.

Once she had reviews and sales momentum, her designs started ranking organically—bringing in passive income.

Time Commitment:
A few hours per week creating designs

Why It Works:
No inventory. No shipping. Just digital sales 24/7.

Lisa started with simple doodles, but nailing the right niche made all the difference.

If you’ve got a creative streak (or know how to outsource), finding a low competition niche on Etsy could be your next passive income stream.
