$4000/Month Selling Concrete Sculptures Online

Matic Jurglič is a Slovenian 🇸🇮 programmer with an interesting side hustle.

He creates and sells “handmade busts of influential people” via an Etsy store.

Think concrete head-and-shoulder statues of people like Marcus Aurelius, Nikola Tesla and Elon Musk 👤

Revenue is 2-6k USD depending on the season. I hired someone part time who took over production and shipping. it’s mostly passive revenue for me apart from growing the business by developing new products when I feel like it.

Even if you’re not a craftsman like Matic, maybe you could team up with someone who is and you handle the ecommerce side of things.

Btw, the most expensive bust I’ve found is this strange Picasso creation from 1931. It sold for $106 million a few years back 💰
