5 side hustles that actually make sense.

Have you ever go online and type “side hustles” and find random stuff like;

• Create a dropshipping store
• Social Media marketing
• Create an app

I am tired of people recommending these ''side hustles''. Like C’mon, I’m trying to make an extra 100$, no trying to be the next Steve Jobs.

Sometimes we need money, and we need it quick, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

After the pandemic hit I got a cut in my work hours, I went from working 6 days a week, 8 hours a day to 5 days a week 6 hours a day. That cut changed everything for me, and I know most of you reading this went through a similar situation.

That's why I want to share with you 5 side hustles that can make you some extra cash without going through 24 months of self-teaching you a new skill.

1- Sell what you don’t use

Ok, not really a side hustle. But, we own so much shit, just look around. Shoes, clothes, headsets, jewelry, chairs, mirrors. There’s so much stuff that we do not use anymore that a lot of people are interested in buying for a lower price than what the store has to offer.

I would even go further and ask my friends and family members if they have stuff that they don’t want anymore that I can sell for a few pennies.

The rule here is: if you haven’t used or thought about it in 90 days, it might be time to sell it.

2- Sell for other persons

Most elderly people don’t know how to use the Facebook marketplace or Craiglist, ask them if they have something they want to get rid of, sell it, and make a 10%-20% commission of it.

3- Ask for a raise

This is so simple, I do not understand why people don’t it more. Think about what are the good things you have been doing for the company over the last 6 months, present it to your supervisor and ask if that would be worth a raise. If you get a no, ask what could get you to a yes.

4- Get those dividends

Invest your money into dividend stock (like Realty Income, Coca-Cola, Apple).

Go to your local bank and check the rates for the bank certificates or high yield savings accounts.

If you are already into Crypto, stake them and get a reward from it using platforms like Binance, Celsius, or Youholder.

5- Offer simple services

You don’t need digital marketing or Amazon FBA to make extras.

Hey, I know that’s the new sexy but sometimes we have to be unsexy.

Go around and be honest with your friends and family, tell them that you are trying to get a supplemental income and that if by any chance they need someone helping them cleaning their house, yard, cars, dogs.

With Covid, people don’t like going to the malls and grocery stores anymore, offer to go for them and charge for the trip.

6- Baking

This is so underrated. There is so much money to be made in baking.

Go on youtube or check for a baking blog, look for a few different brownie recipes. Trial and error with a few of them and create some exotic ones like salted caramel, filled with dulce de leche, Twix brownies, the list goes on.

Make a quick logo on Canvas.com, print it at any print shop for pennies.

Get some clear bags at any shop and sell them to your co-workers, friends, neighbors, and family.

Doing that 3-4 times a week, can help you make $200-$300 supplementary income.

Be creative. Look around, there are more opportunities for making money than you think.
