Side hustles

Every single one is something I’ve done.

The numbers are what they made me, not a promise of what they’ll make you. Some need money up front, some need a skill, and a couple I’d only run again if I had to. Every one links to the original post with the full steps.

01 eBay / yard sale pipeline $1,500–$5,000PER MONTH eBay’s advanced search has a sold-items filter, which tells you what anything is actually worth right now. Hit yard sales at open in older, wealthier neighborhoods, buy vintage games, figures and sports gear for pennies, list, ship, repeat. Volume is the whole game.

I put deposits on as many as they allow, then sell the confirmed reservation on eBay once the trucks actually start shipping. The biggest one I run. Read the full post on X → 03 D.R. Horton agent cardUNETHICAL ~$20,000PER MONTH Builders pay a buyer’s agent 3 to 4 percent. Walk in without one and the builder simply keeps it. Partner with a newer agent, split the commission, and make sure your buyer is registered on the first visit. My own description of it was legal, but very unethical. Read the full post on X → 04 B2B public-record leads FREE(ISH)SAVES MILLIONS Every state publishes a Secretary of State entity search, Florida’s Sunbiz being the easy example. Scrape it and you have every business name, address and owner in the state. It is the same list lead vendors resell at an enormous markup. Read the full post on X → 05 CopyBot FREE TOOLOPEN SOURCE My Polymarket copy-trading engine, given away after roughly $1.5M over a couple of years. It watches the leaders you pick, sizes entries against your limits, signs orders locally and manages exits. Rust, self-hosted, source on GitHub. Read the full post on X → 06 Couches $6,000PER MONTH Couches are expensive new and close to worthless used, because moving them is miserable. Buy at $20 to $100 off Marketplace or OfferUp, clean them up, take good photos and resell with free delivery. A small utility trailer is the only real cost. Read the full post on X → 07 HasLab / Transformers 300–500%RETURN HasLab is Hasbro’s crowdfunded collectibles arm, where fans pre-buy and the figures only get made if enough people commit. Pre-order the maximum, usually five, wait the 3 to 12 months for fulfillment, then flip on eBay.

Sign up with Notary Dash, Signing Order, SnapDocs and Map Sign, and they schedule you into people’s homes for medical and real estate signings. A few thousand a month in my spare time. Read the full post on X → 09 Bank bonus stack $3,825PER MONTH Banks pay you to open accounts. Most bonuses ask for a direct deposit, but most will accept an ACH, and most will accept an ACH from a brokerage account rather than a real employer. That one detail is what makes it stackable. Read the full post on X → 10 Airbnb arbitrage UP TO $8,000PER MONTH, PER HOME Airbnb without owning anything. I could not afford to buy, so I rented instead. Month to month, double deposit, and the owner told in advance rather than kept in the dark. I got told no about twenty times before the first yes. Read the full post on X → 11 Plasma $50–$100PER DONATION Twice a week, plus a sign-on bonus that is often several hundred dollars across the first month. I am not a fan of needles and I did it for years anyway, because I needed the money. It is in real demand and it does help people. Read the full post on X → 12 3D printing SKILL FIRSTTHEN RECURRING The one here that needs a skill up front. Fusion 360 for design, Bambu printers, and a niche you genuinely know. Mine is saltwater aquariums, because I am building the parts for my own tank anyway. A $200 printer does this just as well as my expensive one. Read the full post on X → 13 KDP coloring books PRINT ON DEMANDNO INVENTORY Four of the ten bestselling books on Amazon are coloring books. Pick a theme, generate the pages, upload a PDF to Amazon KDP. Submitting is free, and when someone buys, Amazon prints that copy and ships it. You never touch stock. Read the full post on X → 14 New-car F&I cancelUNETHICAL I was a salesman, closer, finance guy, GM, and eventually owner of four dealerships. Find the best price you can, then offer $2,000 under it and say you need it that low because you are taking the extended warranty, gap, and tire and wheel. Those products are where the margin hides. DEAL HACKBUYER SIDE Read the full post on X → 15 Turo ~$5,000PER DAY, GROSS Receipts, posted because people in my DMs called me a liar. Roughly $5,000 a day gross and $2,000 net for years as the number one host in the country. Real money if you run it like a business. I shut it down profitably when the hassle stopped matching the return. Read the full post on X → 16 Robotaxi fleet signup SPECULATIVEBET, NOT INCOME I signed up to buy a Tesla robotaxi fleet, coming off being the number one Turo host nationwide and later owning a supercar rental location. It only works if the self cleaning genuinely works, and charging is the real headache. This is a bet, not a paycheck. Read the full post on X → 17 Pressure washing $600FIRST AFTERNOON A friend’s kid, a pressure washer and a small trailer off Facebook, about $300 all in. Door to door in a decent neighborhood at $200 for a garage door, driveway and sidewalk. Three jobs in the couple of hours I went out with him. Read the full post on X → 18 How I started $6,000+PER MONTH, COMBINED The original stack, and the one to read if you have nothing. Couches at $3,500 a month, yard sale flips at $2,500, plus clearance arbitrage and Amazon. It opens with quit playing video games, quit drinking. Read the full post on X →
