Repurpose, Recycle, Rewrite
If you've become a specialist, an expert in a particular field, the only different material you have to work with is news: discoveries, innovative applications, scandals. Continuing sales depend on your ability to rework what you already know, taking alternative approaches to it, or mining one aspect for details. This is what novelists do when they create a series, sometimes erratic in timeline, such as prequels.
Look at your best work (most popular or highest paid, something that won a prestigious award). Turn it around and over, examine how you can elaborate, extend, deepen or explore different facets. Perhaps you can even resell it, with minor alterations, to a noncompetitive market. Slap a new opening on that baby and send it out again on the cycle that leads to sales.
