As a creative, you have so many options for making money online!  Today I want to discuss just a couple of those options; specifically, I'm talking about a few ways to make passive income by uploading artwork or pdf files/patterns.  This is a great way to generate some cash because you upload once (generally), then can make multiple sales without having to worry about creating or shipping a product, because the platform you use will do all that for you.  There are pros and cons with each method, so be sure to have a listen!
