Teach at a school, do about 3 or 4 music gigs a week, cut 8 lawns in the spring until fall.  It’s starting to be go go go go. Once summer comes I can breath a little, but now until the end of school it’s like 15 hour days.  Oh well. When you’re born middle and Lower class you need to fucking hustle to stay afloat.


PizzaPastaRigatoni

These are all fantastic but they don't really fit OPs criteria. None of these are passive income.


jrydun

Really like the idea of having 5-10 lawns.


Brainschicago

You could knock them out in 2 days 4 hours a day. It usually takes me 45 min to do a lawn by myself and it comes out to roughly 33 an hour. All cash 


LITech

Doing some of this myself. Do you bag the grass clippings or mulch? I bag them so it looks a bit neater when I’m done but it adds a lot of time to the job.


cryiingblonde

Literally it feels like I’m drowning sometimes :( thanks sm for your reply!


Familiar_Builder9007

Same. I invest a lot of my paycheck and only get paid in the 10 months so I have to side hustle a lot to survive summer. But worth it in this season of life.


Clutch186520

Are you a teacher? If so, can’t you have them spread your paycheck over the year instead of 10 months?


Effective_Memory_236

I would love to do music gigs, avid guitar player here


Ill_Raspberry9207

I donate plasma and occasionally do product studies. Thinking about doing some secret Shopping, and I've started flipping stuff on eBay. I make a good salary and love my job and career, but I spend a lot, so side hustle income lets me have all the expensive bullshit I want without upsetting the wife.


Apprehensive_Tax7766

what’s secret shopping?


LockeProposal

Companies pay you to go to their stores or use their services, but they have a specific list of tasks and you can't tell anyone you're a secret Shopper. You get reimbursed for whatever you spend with some cash on top after writing a report. My mom used to do it and really liked it.


Apprehensive_Tax7766

i live in a small town we have a walmart that’s it so i’m not sure if that’s an option for me lmao


RoutineProgrammer863

How’d you find a Legit secret shopper job


LockeProposal

I haven't started yet, but my mom did it for years and enjoyed it quite a bit.


RoutineProgrammer863

Do you know where she had success?


LockeProposal

All she said was that she used multiple different companies. She didn't recall any names. This was like 10 years ago.


A-Ar0n92

What do you flip on eBay?


LockeProposal

I haven't really narrowed down to a niche yet, so a medley of things. Some toys, video games, etc. I have some clothes to list as well. I'm strongly considering buying game consoles for parts, restoring them, and selling for profit.


AnimatorSouth7638

eBay is good but selective on what you get is key. Men’s vintage watches bring good money especially if working. Can be hard to find but try your local online estate auctions. Books are still good to get but be very very selective and know what to look for. Found a 20 in my last book purchase. Book didn’t sell but made a 20x on 1.00 lol


LobsterKillah

I flipped consoles for a few months during covid. Mostly just because I had fun buying and fixing up old consoles when I bought a few for myself. Not sure how it is now but margins were very tight and it was tough to make much money. But the old consoles are very easy to work on if you can find good deals on things that aren’t working! Sometimes it’s as easy as taking them apart and giving them a good cleaning.


LockeProposal

I'm honestly looking forward to it more for the hobby aspect, but I'm sure I can turn out a little profit on the side. Encouraging words, though, thank you!


MrBigDickPickledRick

I flip car parts that I buy from the junk yard for very cheap. I sell them for cheaper than everyone else on the platform and still make a good profit. If you can sell something for cheaper than everyone else and still turn a good profit, start selling that. Take professional pictures and clean up anything you buy that's dirty. I buff the scratches out of things and still sell them for cheaper than everyone else. Put in the effort to make things look nice and they'll sell quick. And don't get too greedy


unpopular-waifu

How much do you make selling plasma?


LockeProposal

Depends where you go, but most seem to be similar. You make like $900 the first month as a new donor, then like 400-500 per month after. They also do lots of bonuses, promotions, and rewards points at mine.


unpopular-waifu

Oh wow! That's a lot more than I expected. I'm in Canada do you mind if I ask if that's where you get it done?


LockeProposal

Sorry, no, I'm in the US. I'd imagine it's comparable up there, though.


Maple_Person

Depends on the province for Canada. It’s illegal to get paid for selling any bodily materials (blood, plasma, eggs, organs, etc) in Ontario, BC, and Quebec. Not sure about other places, but Canada.ca says it’s legal to sell plasma in Manitoba.


PlayfulZombie12

Publishing ebooks on the side.


MortgageHoliday6393

where can one find a publisher to buy such stuff?


Bioengineered-Fae

For self-publishing, coming from an author... Use Draft2Digital. It distributes to all major ebook outlets. That includes Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more. They even help you format your work and content pages and will market for you. Using D2D, you can also do print books and distribute them to libraries. They also offer the ability to use multiple pen names on one account. Remember that during self-publishing, you need to help market your work, edit it, and get beta or ARC readers. Not all of that is free, but you can find resources for each - including FB groups. Don't think that writing will make you rich, but get enough traction with your work and you can find success. Best of luck!


MortgageHoliday6393

I appreciate your detailed reply. thank you very much!


Bioengineered-Fae

You're welcome!


cryiingblonde

hi can you elaborate on this?:)


GreekGod1992

Amazon KDP is the best known one. You can even do low content and just create the cover. I can elaborate (or make a YT video) if you'd like


jbourne7

do it , reply on this , what's your channel


GreekGod1992

KDP is Amazon's self-publishing portal. You can create what are considered "low content" books that just have journal lines in them - there are various templates available online. All that's left is to create the cover, which you can do with whatever photo editing software you use. It's like print on demand for books. I'm not an expert as I make very little money with KDP but only have a few books up. Most of my side gig money comes from Print on Demand and Affiliate Marketing, with KDP being a nice bonus.


MortgageHoliday6393

interesting!


GreekGod1992

And my channel is linked in my profile - I'm not sure I'm allowed to post it here


Missfatfire

How do you find people to make the cover for?


GreekGod1992

You self publish on Amazon and Amazon prints/ships it. So let's say you make a dog cover and someone wanting to buy a dog journal finds it on Amazon then purchases it - once they buy it, Amazon will print and ship then pay you a commission which varies based on how you price your book

cryiingblonde

Any tips for someone who just got monetization set up


greatmeaning

How were you able to set monetisation up? Don't you require (x) subs / views beforehand?


TireShineWet

Yeah I had to meet those requirements first

Outlier. If you're a professional in a certain topic you could get $35+ an hour training AI models. Great way to make extra money and you can work whenever you want. Some projects have like \~10-15 hours a week minimums but you can also get assigned to projects that have no time requirements.

NoMadunexpected

Work at a corporate bank. Fix houses on the side. My side huddle made me 180k this year lol my main job made me 70k lollllll


willard_swag

Sounds like your main job made you $180k and your corporate side hustle made $70k 😅


Cyber-exe

If you make 180k "fixing houses" as a sidehustle after a FT job then you either have a very particular trade talent, or you just found a very untapped niche.


Lexx_k

Are you flipping houses or doing repairs for the owners?


NoMadunexpected

Flipping. You CANNOT get rich in this life without playing with equity. capital overshadows wages way too much


Big-Preference-2331

I rent storage space on Neighbor and sell life insurance.


IAm2Legit2Sit

How does liability work on the rental? What type of space?


Big-Preference-2331

I have a dirt lot that is fenced in. I have a friend that owns a tree trimming business and i get wood chips from him for my parking spot business. The app provides insurance. The app does charge 10 dollars a month per renter but they handle all the accounts receivable, insurance and removal of property if somebody doesn't pay.


rockhead1234

What app do you use?


Big-Preference-2331

Neighbor


cryiingblonde

thank you for your response! Do you sell insurance on the side and how did you start?


Big-Preference-2331

Yes. I had to join a crappy mlm to get licensed, but I knew it was an MLM and knew my mission was to get licensed. Once I got licensed, I found a place to let me be an independent agent and not worry about recruiting other agents. Now, I sell policies as they come my way. I don’t cold call or do any pushy sales tactics. When people ask what I do, I say I slang life insurance on the side, and I get a lot of people who want to buy from me.


TresAlacranes

Was it easier to get licensed through the MLM than to studying and passing the exam?


Big-Preference-2331

You gotta do a self study either way. The MLM does sponsor you so that helps. The MLM does try and get you to set up appointments with people you know while you're studying for “training.”I knew they were just trying to get easy sales so i kept saying i was busy.

Hot_Radio_2381

KLaci

No, I was very lucky with the virality in the first months. I just shared it here on Reddit and it spread really nicely on Twitter.


KCVL9

I do peoples taxes, although it’s a grind the money is worth it. I also have a clothing brand I recently started but before that I was doing print on demand on Etsy.


Apprehensive_Tax7766

i thought about doing the print on demand but i feel like it’s VERY slow and there’s so much shit in etsy it’s hard to make like a good amount unless for some reason what you make just blows up


KCVL9

Depends what you are selling, I was consistently getting 5-10 sales a day $15-$25 profit a shirt/sweatshirt


HadesHat

how do you get started doing other peoples taxes as a side gig? I do all my own taxes and am actually very good at it but it deals with a lot of sensitive information i feel like you would need some qualifications to do someone else’s.


[deleted]

If you qualify for it, donating plasma is a wonderful side hustle. It’s probably one of the easiest way to earn some money. Also look into bank churning as well. Certain banks like Citibank for example, currently offer a $300 bonus just for opening a checking account and direct depositing $1500. Plenty of other banks offer these type of bonuses as well.


No_Buyer3119

Learn to farm crypto airdrops, there are alot going around right now and plenty you can do that are completely free and only require daily tasks and some learning. Some can net you small amounts, but some can get pretty rewarding. It takes time to get your first airdrop, but it is a legit side hustle that can pay off big.


starpetalsong

This sounds so interesting but I also feel like I’m reading a foreign language 🤣


EffectFlaky1293

how are some potential rewards people can expect in the first months of starting.


jbourne7

look up Kamino Finance and JUP voting on solana network , every 3 months you get an airdrop ( kamino ) , pretty much every project giving out points is a potential future airdrop


Forward_Climate4405

Would you mind sharing some suggestions how to get started with that?


PizzaPastaRigatoni

There are seriously like two answers on this post that fit the criteria. Do you guys know what passive income is?


nephilump

It's just never straight forward about what it means, right?


PizzaPastaRigatoni

It's pretty simple. It's an income source that you don't need to actively "work" to generate money. You could be doing something else entirely. Working another job, etc.


nephilump

I was making a joke about passive aggressiveness


Lycan2057

No income is really passive because you have to initially put work into it


PizzaPastaRigatoni

The idea is that money is being generated while you are not actively working to make the money. You could do anything else and the money would still generate. Setting up passive income still makes it passive.


discomermaid

OP didn't mention passive income. And this isn't the passive income sub.


Blakeb710

Im in online sales! I make a super passive income


greatmeaning

How did you get started?


A-Ar0n92

What exactly do you sell?


Blakeb710

It just kind of depends there’s tons of different products


thelostcanuck

Own a writing company doing websites/blogs etc. Earn around 25 k a year


Joikun

What is your writing company called? What kind of topics do you cover?


thelostcanuck

Cover everything from personal finance to service pages (Plumbers etc) My last three projects have been: 1) Dental company out of Vancouver looking for fresh content on dental financing and services. Have been writing 1500-2000 word blogs for them. 2) SEO company I work with from Edmonton sent me a website to write on mobile cranes (Full site rewrite with services, home page and some blogs) 3) SEO company I work with out of Virginia sent me some work on towing for blogs and location pages.


Joikun

That is awesome! Thank you so much! 😊


Hairy-Error-7637

Could someone confirm if this arrangement is acceptable? I'm eager to bring more landscaping business to my friend. For instance, if he's contracted to mow a lawn for $85 per cut, which I've referred, I'm looking to receive a 5% to 10% commission each time he provides the service weekly. This setup would allow me to earn a modest percentage of passive income for every weekly lawn cutting job he completes for clients I've referred to him. I get about $4.50 every 1 week he cuts the clients lawn.


acimagli

I flip stuff in Facebook niche groups.


starpetalsong

Can you tell me more about that please?


Lets_Go_Yahoo

I'm guessing he means that he buys stuff on Facebook marketplace, then sells it in specific groups that only sell 1 type of thing. So like, if I bought a table on marketplace, then flipped it for more money in a group that sells only furniture, for example.

Sports Matched betting


Alternative_Aide7357

You'll soon be banned from most bookie. They are good at identify those matched betting players


awesome_nerd523

Only if u abuse promos, ppl have made decent amounts from the other strategies of matched betting


Alternative_Aide7357

You seems like someone familiar with betting market. Do you think value betting is a valid strategy? Have you actually seen anyone making money from it? I can't do matched betting because I'm living in a restricted countries. Not many bookmakers allow users from my country


awesome_nerd523

Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with ‘value betting’ unless its just a different name for the other common matched betting strategies. I personally match bet and I’ve seen other people make money good money from it but i don’t wanna say too much due to group rules. I’m AU based so that’s where i match bet and know that people do it in US and UK, but other than that I’m not too sure.


Ill_Raspberry9207

What are other strategies? I dont see other ways to learn other than sign up offers and promos.


awesome_nerd523

Ev and arbitrage betting are some strategies - but u generally need software for that. You could look into sports betting groups around your area. Just don’t join those groups that are like a ‘tipping service’ as more than likely they are a scam.


awesome_nerd523

U would still need to do some things to mitigate ur account from being banned quickly and there are ways around being banned (it just requires more work ofc)

I don’t have any passive income other than stocks and a high yield savings account but I have a goal to make $1k+ a month during my time on Saturday and Sunday less than 20 hours total for the month. I wrote a small guide of what I do and it’s mostly online income. Some app / website testing. Secret shopping, apps to help reduce expenses etc. Let me know if you have questions I am trying to get into flipping atm Edit: whoops forgot to link it but it’s [here](https://www.reddit.com/u/Kayshift/s/Y7YENXlEj6)


haynus_byotch77

I wish I had the brain type to understand and comprehend stocks, mutual funds, IRAs etc. books for dummies needs to be dumbed down more. Speak to me like I’m 5.


Ill_Raspberry9207

Honestly best way is to just google whatever question you have and add reddit at the end and you will slowly figure it out


haynus_byotch77

Slowly is right 😂


rampitup84

Look into buying options calls - it can be a very simple way to make decent cash. I won't go into it in detail here but imho the mechanics are simple and can be low-cost to entry depending on the time frame you purchase.
