kgarrett12486 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I dabble in making wood furniture and decorations. Sell the pieces to friends, co workers, family and friends of friends/family... Depending on what it is can take me a couple hours to a couple weeks. Could post some pics of stuff I've made/kept for myself if anyone was interested to see...

My dad builds custom furniture, used to do it for a living but it’s just for he and my moms house now. When he goes to sell his tools I think I can get a good deal on the lot... Id love to build furniture for my house, and being able to sell some on the side would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMossIsBoss Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hardly my side hustle, I merely dipped my toe in the pond, but flipping items on ebay for profit. I bet you could make some nice money on the side if you scoured garage sales, craigslist ads, other local sellers, and then sold those products on ebay for profit. I mean I know flipping on ebay in itself is a main income stream, people run businesses for it. A year ago I wanted Wind Waker on Gamecube. It goes for about $35 on ebay. I find a gamecube game lot selling for $50, which included Wind Waker, and buy it. I then sold off the other 4 games for $20, $20, $15 an $15. Taking into account shipping, packaging and the transfer fee, and I only made around $5 profit... plus Wind Waker, so really more like a $40 profit. A month later I wanted Pokemon Leaf Green or FireRed and Ruby, find someone on craigslist selling LeafG, FireR, Ruby, Red, and Emerald for $100. I take the 15 minute drive and do my first ever exchange, and while I could have turned a big profit on this (at the time, authentic copies of leaf, fire and red were going for $50 a piece, Ruby for $25, Emerald for $60), I'm a collector at heart. In a matter of 2 weeks I found these great deals without even looking for ways to make a profit, so in my mind it is not yet an over-saturated field. There will always be people who want quick money and either throw stuff up on craigslsit or ebay without doing their research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Wife and I actually turned on Uber last night for the Astros/Yankees game - made about $60 for about two hours of work. We're discussing doing it on Friday nights before and after dinner when we don't have the kiddos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I have one of those jobs where it's sit around and wait for something to happen so I get some free time. I dabble with swing trading throughout the week. Not playing around with a ton of capital in my account but I can usually pull $100-$200 profit out of the market each week. Just making safe plays on uptrending stocks in pullbacks. Took me a while to dial in my filters but the last 6 weeks have been quite profitable. Working my side gig during my main gig is pretty cool too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riceman80 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Cuttin firewood on days off when I have nothing to do or want some extra money. Nice to get out, get a good work out, and make good money. 2 cords in 6-8 hours = $350 cash minus a little bit of gas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Civil Engineer is my profession. Own tractor back-hoe and do a little tile work on the side for some people. Have my journeyman electrician license in Minnesota, do a little electrical work in the winter. Also do some Cattle chores and haul poop in the winter for a farmer.

CBears019 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 My career is Police and in Chicago there’s a whole bunch of security firms that hire off-duty/retired police officers who then work at different locations/events throughout the city. Currently I work at the Sears tower and really don’t do anything. The different gigs pay between $25-$35 an hour. And with my Police job I have more than half the days in the year off, so I’d be stupid not to take some extra jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were married and she made $30k a year, you better hope you make an extra $40k a year bonus the next year... They arn't cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
