Making income from open licensing is the only ethical option, though.

Breaking your back doing hard days work

Not ethical

Enterprising. Selling a product,trade, or service to people. Perhaps your an great artist or got some clothes to sell off

Not ethical

Creating a (gl with your book op I think it's going be a gudden) shitty book in some shitty overpriced coffeeshop getting paid on patreon for peanuts

Ethical
