> Don't they only make money off the initial sale?

In some cases there may be a royalty to the original artist on resale. But even if there isn't, just as with dividend-free stock offerings, the existence of a resale market means that the artist (or company) can expect to receive more money from the initial sale since buyers have the prospect of recuperating some of their initial expense by reselling the NFTs (or shares) later.
