1. The last of our passive income ideas is a bit of a student classic.
   From t-shirts to baby bibs, there are scores of stores that sell customisable gear and gadgets: the opportunity lies in selling your inspiration to other customers.
   

   How to sell print-on-demand products​

   One of the best-known marketplaces is CafePress, which sells just about anything that has a blank surface. Whoever you go with, sign up for a seller’s account (to sell via the store) or a shop account (to sell from your own site).
   Upload your best illustrations, photos or jokes, and pick which products can be customised with your art. If someone buys an item from your range, you get a cut of the sale – without having to manufacture, stock or ship anything.
   You don’t even need any ideas of your own: if you’re fresh out of inspiration, you can list other people’s custom products for a referral fee instead.
   Go for cute or funny images, logos and quotes that work on multiple products. The simpler, the better.
   It's also a good idea to get snapping your creations and promote them across social media. Get your friend to wear a t-shirt with that hilarious quote you thought up and share it with your followers.

Most of the sales platforms we've mentioned are free to list with, but they’ll each take their cut in their own way – check it out before you sign up.

There may also be international tax forms to wrestle with if you don’t want the relevant government syphoning off their share of your takings. In the meantime, get to grips with UK tax rules.
