Post and discuss side hustles, jobs, or hobbies that otherwise generate income and what you do with the extra to build wealth.

For a while I was doing online transcription when I got bored through Rev. It was nice, made like $20 an hour almost right away. Took very little practice. Then after about 45 jobs my account got locked for no reason. So that was annoying. Found out that's not uncommon at all. If you even miss a single word after a giant blank section at the end it will count as "incomplete" and auto-close your account.

Now I'm driving with Uber Eats. I work and live in separate areas with a lot of restaurants, so when I go to work or come home I just turn on uber and make a quick delivery along the route I was already going to drive. Makes some beer money for essentially no work. When I do spend some time driving I make ~$20 an hour. Really only good because I live in a very dense area and my cars both get 50+ mpg. Pretty good for no schedule and being able to reject whatever deliveries I want.

I don't need extra income, I just get bored easily.

What do y'all do?

I'm currently doing what I call "Supply Chain Arbitrage". I have currently made $702.86 this month with very little invested time. I am able to do this while working from home but when I start my new role in June I doubt I'll be able to but we shall see.

buying and selling collectibles seems to be a good market now. i have some old sports and pokemon cards i just sit on.

i dont buy much in terms of individual stuff but theres a whole market for it. but i did post a few ads in local classifieds offering to buy packs and collections of stuff in peoples garages sight and seen for like $50 to $75. didnt get any big scores but surprisingly got enough hits to cover costs

A few years ago I got back into collecting YuGiOh cards. There was a specific box nobody could get. When I cleared out my cards last year I sold everything I got from those boxes for a significant profit. Foils I got like 2-3 in a box were going for 5-10 each.

So I'd definitely believe it.

I'm thinking about just watching trading cards in particular and scalping. You can make easy 100% if you just stop into a gamestop every week and buy the hot stuff to resell unopened on ***

I grow fish and plants in aquarium and disposable tupperware containers under grow lights in my hot water heater closet. Initial investment of probably $2000, operating cost of $20/m for power, shipping supplies, co2, ferts and fish food.
Most of my sales are on aquabid but some Craigslist a little facebook, etsy and Instagram. When I have to liquidate large quantities of fish/plants I can solicit local fish stores.
The tank maintenance and watering is less than 5 hours a month because I've automated everything with timers by recycled hvac controllers.
I'm selling avg of $100 a month and I stopped aggressively advertising 2 years ago and I'm only listing on aquabid, usually selling to fish stores across the world.

If you live in a 3rd world country with an avg ground Temps of 60-80° I don't see why anyone can't make it just hustling fish. Even if it's tilapia for food.

It pays for itself teaching discipline, gaining a talent like bonsai culture, and playing God. It scratches the itch of mowing the lawn, having pets, and going outside. if ur an urbanite this is it.




Teach men to fish tbh

Rofl go to of the void thread and convince him of the dark side
