What have you found to be successful methods of making extra cash?

6 comments

1. Do more of what I do during the day as freelance. But I value my free time too highly to bother.

2. Being really good at what I do so I earn enough not to need side hustles.

3. I don’t do these anymore, but doing basic repairs on cars, or buying broke down cars to repair and flip. Basic woodworking like edge grain cutting boards, or even charcuterie boards. There used to almost always be people on Craigslist looking for help moving or doing some other manual labor. If you have a large truck or SUV, I had cards that I handed out to a bunch of second hand stores and cheap furniture stores that didn’t have delivery ordering to deliver for a fee.

4. Selling merch at shows.

5. Side jobs at $200 an hour.

6. Constantly asking my employer for extra cash in a “hey if you’re handing out free money I’ll take it”. Works surprisingly well with the right sort of guy.
