The reelect mormonreformist committee who your spouse is on the board of and gets a 200k salary for.
All of the various "charities" whom you now are on the board of can pay you.
At the federal level you can not get paid for speeches but they can donate to a charity of your choosing.
Universities love to keep politicians on salary give a lecture/speech now and again to justify it.
It's all in the filings so hit up opensecrets and dig in, plenty of politicians do it.
