Several years ago I had a deal with a manufacturer of a piece of niche exercise equipment. They had a marketing company working for them, but I was able to sell better than they were. I utilized Amazon, eBay, my own website, and a few other outlets.

I had no inventory. No physical responsibilities. I marketed my aspects and handled my sales but they took care of delivering the product, returns, warranties, etc. I did not make enough to live on selling that one product, but I only spent five hours a month working on it and it brought in anywhere between $1-2k profit monthly.
