Summary
Francisco Rivera makes six figures per year selling candles on Etsy as a side hustle, despite not even liking candles. He started the business after his tutoring job saw a drop in demand post-Covid. Rivera creates designs for neutral-colored organic candles with witty labels, lists them on Etsy, and uses Printify to connect with manufacturers. He works only 20 minutes per day on his side hustle, with some days requiring up to two hours of work. Rivera finds the print-on-demand model low-risk and believes his side hustle is replicable. The biggest downside to his business is dealing with copycats, but he focuses on pushing out new candle designs rather than dwelling on it. Rivera advises not to be married to your creativity and to research what products are selling well to find success in a side hustle.
