I used to sell shipping supplies but it took over my small townhouse. I slowly made my way to stationery products - mainly stickers. This was easy as I was able to store all my supplies in a small office. I've ventured into selling digital clipart and slowly growing my library. For clipart I'm mainly focusing on watercolors that I've hand painted and clipart I created on my ipad. I wanted to create a life where I can pretty much move my things and move to whatever state. Small stickers and digital items seems to work for me. I also just started a mug shop where I sell mugs with my designs on them and custom made mugs for businesses with their logos or mugs with personal pictures on them.
California continues to get more expensive each day especially near the san francisco bay area. I'm lucky enough that my mortgage is only $1300/month which is super cheap compared to current rent rates at $2100/month for a house my size. My hope is to someday save enough for another property with at least 2 acres of land outside of California. Then Rent out my townhouse to a family/friend and use it as residual income.
