I built up a little side hustle flipping clothes online. Iโm averaging about $1500 a month in net profit right now. It falls 3rd in line after taking care of my kids and also working a full time corporate job but itโs actually a lot of fun and the money is great once you figure out what youโre doing.
Selling beef jerky. If you live near a refinery, or another popular location that has physical jobs, you can make a ton of money by selling beef jerky.
Can you drawโฆ you can get a commission on someone furssona.
I built a CNC machine and make stuff to sell. Currently brings in about $2k/month extra
I mow lawns and price yards at $60/hr …$25 minimum.
If I think it’ll take me 40 minutes then I charge $40 . 30 mins $30…etc
I used to cut firewood, rent space for RV storage, grow a garden, repair cars, teach scuba classes, write patent disclosures… My garden and orchard greatly reduced my food expenses. Ultimately, I saved/invested over 30 years and was able to retire on the dividends.
I do wedding videography for an event company, I don’t edit, just show up and shoot and send the footage off to the company. Make about $300-$600 a wedding depending on distance traveled. Summer and fall I’m usually booked almost every weekend, but it definitely slows down from Dec-May.
I detail cars on the weekend. Turned a hobby into a side job. I try to book at least one job per weekend and maximum 2 cars. 200 each. Extra 800-1200 per month is not bad.
I hear power washing is solid. Cheap start up too.
If your community has any group homes for special needs individuals, contact the agency that runs them. You can sometimes land a paid overnight position as a nighttime caregiver. A co-worker did this as a PT job on weekends for a few years.
He would arrive around 8 PM, help guide the residents with their evening routines and chores before they get ready for bed, give them any required medications, and then close down the house and make sure everyone is in their rooms and in bed by 9 or 9:30.
He would then watch TV in the living room, or go to the separate caregiver bedroom, where he would literally get paid to sleep. He never had any issues with the residents, other than having to do an occasional once or twice a year fire drill, where he would have to trip the smoke alarm, wake the residents, evacuate the house for a few minutes, and then fill out some paperwork for the agency documenting that he conducted it.
Selling plasma 8 times a month nets me about $500-550/mo
Buying and selling stuff. Do research and learn alot about a type of item and try to find good deals that you can buy and resell. I knew a guy that would buy and sell toys- from new nerf guns to vintage toys. He would make a few hundred dollars a month and spend an hour or two a week looking/posting/learning.
Don’t Ump baseball, no matter what call you make some parent is going to be mad. I umped kids baseball to make some extra cash in college ( like kids 10 and under, and I honestly thought I was pretty good) but I’ve never been sworn at and threatened so much in my life. Parents would wait for me at my truck after the game. Half the team spends the game picking dandelions in the outfield and these parents act like I just cost their kid their ticket to the big leagues.
Not enough money in the world to deal with the nonsense.
If you are sociable and have thick skin (and have minor hand dexterity) it doesn’t take much training to become a casino dealer. At almost any non tribal cardroon, they are looking for part timers and you keep your own tips. I averaged about 350 a day plus hourly, and this was 10 years ago
One $10 handjob every day
EDIT: Thanks for all the great tips, fellas
Fertility banks.ย Eggs are worth like $5-10k/cycle and sperm from healthy donors are worth quite a bit too.ย Only catch is that you have no control on who gets your descendants
I started an exterior cleaning business on the weekends and net around $2000/month on top of my regular income. Iโve held on to my 9-5 day job because I enjoy it.
Going to garage sales and thrift stores. I go to garage sales most Saturday mornings, only takes a few hours and most of the time I get home with a car boot full of items to flip for a profit. Best find was a whole bunch of Mad Magazines that I bought for $20 and sold within 24 hours for $1,000. Most items at garage sales are only a few bucks so you donโt need much money to start.[I have a free email newsletter where I try and teach people what items to look out for](https://flipweekly.com).
I am seeing ‘donate plasma’ a lot but something that I find strange is this: if you are being paid for it, how is it a donation?
I work as a Software dev but this works for alot of other office work. Consulting on the side is great and it’s mainly documentation, reporting other than the real work. I do 1000 – 1500 a month and just have 2 clients at a time. Just make a list of your biggest wins in your career and break them down into actionable items that other companies can replicate. Guide the client through them and Charge a higher rate for them not to hit the issues you did.
Look at real estate listings for your area.
If you don’t see a lot of drone shots of nice properties, go and buy a drone and start offering it as a service.
A used Mavic Mini 2 would be provide perfectly acceptable images and videos for real estate listings and would likely need minimal editing, and the drone kit used would cost you likely only a few hundred (in Canada $4-500 for the Mavic Mini 2 with extra batteries). If you’ve never flown one before you can pick it up really quick and they’re fairly idiot proof if you’re not hot-dogging with them.
Get used to the drone, learn how to get different shots, work with some edits, and take some pics of your own house or even houses for sale in your area.
Put together a portfolio or basic website, use Canva to make a logo/card.
Look at comparable drone companies in your area and simply charge less, then hit up all the realtors who aren’t using drone services. Hell, I’d not even contact them to ask if they want it – just go take the images of their listings and send them some photos for free and express that you can provide similar work for a good price.
If I were doing it I’d start on a by-distance fee, e.g. $50 gets you *x*-seconds of video and *x* pictures if the property is in the town limits; $75 for *x*-miles outside of town; $75+ for further. Listing agents routinely spend *big* bucks on photographers, stagers, etc, so at the right price you’d be a shoe-in.
Get an iPad so you can do the shoot, download the content, do some quick edits in the field, and get them to the realtor as fast as possible.
Even if $50 is undervaluing the work, which it might be, if you’re only looking to make $300-1000 you’re practically just looking to do this for fun anyway, so big deal. If your work is consistent and quick you’ll get calls and if even in one week you did 4 properties you’re already on your way to hit your target.
Edit: as others are saying in replies – read up on the legal requirements. I’m in Canada so I can’t comment on the US but generally if you buy a sub-250g drone this will all be a bit easier.
Driving for uber, but you probably make $500 a month and your car incurs $600 worth of wear and tear.

I referee minor hockey. $60-120 per game, super flexible schedule, paid cash. I make about $800 per month working just Friday evenings and Saturdays. As a bonus, it keeps me in super great shape. You can choose to just do recreational levels and skate around casually every weekend or go a competitive route and officiate extremely intense, fast games. All up to you.
