Developing a residual income is necessary to maintain an adequate lifestyle in retirement.  In Australia the current CPI is around 5% per annum but the aged pension is indexed at 2.5% meaning that about 2.5% of the pension rate has to be found to maintain spending parity.  This BB shows our residual income from Superannuation. Employers contribute to a residual income in retirement called superannuation. To ensure that I can document my PEP journey and update information as I learn more, I have created a journal.  The journal entry for this BB is shown below.
For your consideration.

(This is my first attempt at getting a badge approved, so please let me know if I'm doing this right!)

I created a coloring book that I self-published on Amazon. It's print-on-demand, so I earn royalties every time someone purchases it.

Link to coloring book: https://www.amazon.com/REAL-CATS-Coloring-Book-Adults/dp/1729809715/

Included a screenshot of one royalty payment that came through recently.

It's not making much right now, but certainly fits the "less than $5 per year" requirement of this badge! I'll be making more soon and hope that this can qualify me for the other badges in the future!

I do art and photography as side hobbies. My Dad found a site that you can upload your work and they will print in on stickers, T-shirts, mugs, etc. and give you a percentage of the profit. I have 40 designs up on my shop and I got my first sale today. This income has no foreseeable ending.

Here is the link to my Redbubble shop

For making a residual income I decided to post some of my previous and ongoing art projects on a site called Redbubble, which lets you post your art on their site, and other people can buy your artwork on various items, then Red bubble pays you 20% of the income they made off of your work.


Oh, and by the way. If you want any of my art it's still available on Redbubble.
Here's the link.

I have a residual income stream from a book I wrote:  https://www.amazon.com/Easy-Business-Plan-business-straight/dp/1731505329/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3MPJTT13SMB7O&keywords=jason+tuller&qid=1674336182&sprefix=jason+tuller%2Caps%2C279&sr=8-1

It doesn't earn much, but it earns $5 bucks a year.

I added my 1099-misc.

I few years ago, I wrote a book rather abruptly...if one can actually do that. It does need to be rewritten but it draws money every month. I have it on Amazon and a few other places.  This book tends to make more money around the holidays. I don't promote it at all. I probably should. I get paid two months in arrears so this month (Jan), I will get November's royalties. See attachment. It continues to make money because I leave it up there. If I take it down, it won't. :-)

Hi.  I made my first sale of an ebook I wrote called The Poetry Hater's Guide to Loving Poetry https://selfeducatingfamily.com/poetry-guide-landing-page/.  I have a website for learning and Charlotte Mason-style homeschooling and I was never able to appreciate poetry before I wrote this.

The guide is designed to help homeschoolers incorporate poetry studies year-round with classic seasonal poems.  So it's a timeless ebook and won't become outdated as a revenue stream.  It's not permaculture related unless you count growing children!

Here's a picture of my first sale in Stripe.

Hey there,

I'm not sure if this counts, but I believe I have a potential residual income stream here. To be sustainable long-term, this needs to grow, with more subscribers. The simplest way to make this income stream work long-term is to automate the publication of posts several months in advance (I've already automated the posts for publication 2 weeks in advance), hire a VA to respond to subscribers and produce more content while I'm sitting on my mountain top. This particular stream is focused on makeup and special effects but also funds the production of a comedy series that will be hosted at Vimeo Video On Demand for a more passive residual income.

I also have a Patreon page for my videos and blogs about solar cooking and self-sufficiency (patreon.com/sunchefsara), but it is not generating income at present.

I published a book in 2008 and it was a nice source of passive income, but it is out of print now. I have two new books in the pipeline, though. Both of these will be sold on online platforms (probably Lulu and Amazon). If none of the above qualify me for this badge, I'll come back once my books are published.

Best regards,
Sara Hjalmarsson

Note: Sorry, that stream isn't passive enough (employing a VA, etc).  The other ones sound like great options.  You may consider posting your out-of-print book to IngramSpark to "print on demand".

I wanted a way to quickly remember facts about my local fungi and fauna- I found that the best way- outside of a book (which is a whole other thing) were zines.
A zine is a small magazine, I wanted to make on that could be folded into something small and wouldn't break the bank to replace.  I was originally going to make a big thing, but the format itself meant I had to limit the number of entries per sheet- and for liability reasons I had to make sure I wasn't making any definitive medicinal claims.
So, with these limitations in mind, I chose to make a zine about identifying and foraging for mushrooms to be used in teas. I spent a few weeks researching and making the art for the zine and I did it all digitally.
Doing  it this way meant I could basically list the file on Etsy for a reasonable price, and anyone who had a bit of curiosity and a few bucks could buy it. As it is a digital file, there's no limit on that front, and Etsy lets me auto renew the listing with no input on my part. Eventually I'll move it to another service, but this has been pretty set and forget and should work for as long as I leave it up.

Here's a listing for the first zine I made: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1330097303/foraged-peculiari-teas-shelf-fungi
and my first sale!
I do all my creative work over the winter, so come December, I'll be updating the art for these zines, finishing a flower tea edition, working on a new one for quick conifer ID, and another for berries.

I wrote a couple meditation books and published them on Kindle Direct.  I mainly share them but have made money from them as seen below.


This is the main listing for the owner in Kindle Direct.


This is the royalties page for my books on Kindle Direct.
