People usually make money on commodities by dealing in scarcity (Bitcoin, diamonds, gold) or controlling the means of production or the source (durable goods), or some combination of the two. Or gambling with futures.
This is more difficult, when dealing with digital goods that can be easily replicated. Nostr-based goods have no natural scarcity. You have to create it, with privacy, authorization, or encryption (but this is also not long-lasting scarcity). Or the scarcity has to be in the human behind the digital good or the niche of humans to which you market the good.
Only real people are truly scarce, on Nostr, since each one is unique.
