Not sure if we've had a thread like this, but I'd thought it be interesting after participating in a few threads on other forums about side hustles and extra income. I've learned a bit from asking people about careers, retirement etc. Over the last year or two, I've started selling off chunks of my collection (figures, shoes and overall stuff I no longer use), donating clothes and investing more of my money into digital assets. It's kind of given me a different perception of life. I'm going to start selling some of my artwork and designs as a side hustle this year. For those of you with extra income/investments and side hustles. What do you do and how has it been working thus far? What would you have done differently?

I sold five PlayStation 5s in 2021 for over double what they cost. Does that count?

I’ve done freelance graphic design work on the side for friends/co workers and it’s always sucked. I’ve wound up getting underpaid (if paid at all) and to an extent taken advantage of. If I ever legitimately wanted to freelance I’d start by asking for a deposit and probably get the terms of the project in writing. I’d probably also implement a limit on revision requests. Also definitely would charge hourly.

I'm an election official, and that pays around $200 per election.
I'm running for a city council seat. If I get that, it'll pay a $5,000/year stipend.

Can't say too much about it but it involves naughty women

¡Twist Of Cinnamon! I think anything you can profit off of counts imo, especially if it's consistent and you know the ins and outs. Valbroski Definitively feel you on that. I used to do a lot of freelance work and now kind of just pick and choose clients. Deposits are a must, even with people you know well. I think it establishes a level of respect, but also commitment. Most people want free work or want to underpay you. I've learned this within the last couple of years. I've had one guy threaten to fight me over a design that he didn't want to pay for me and on other occasions I've overcommitted only for said client not to even use the design either. Interviewing clients work too, just to know if they're a good fit.

I work as a graphic designer professionally, but I do freelance work and also wrestle in my free time.

I'm always intrigued by the side-hustle, but I have no idea what I could do or offer. It's always cool when people come with these ideas and then even turn them into a full-time gig.

I’m fortunate enough to have a good salary job and good benefits plus my wife has a good job working at one of the hospitals in Nashville. Neither one of us do any type of side hustles as our jobs take up enough time and we like to spend plenty of time together doing things so we just save where we can. We each have an IRA and a 401k and a regular savings account

How do you feel about Vanguard? |

I used to be the groundskeeper at my local footy ground. I did this every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 3 years, but once the pandemic hit they couldn't pay me anymore. It was only like 2-3 hours per day for about 100 bucks so it was a great little side gig. I miss it because I genuinely enjoyed it.

I'll admit it. When I would find the chase or hard to find figures, I'd scalp them on 3bay.

It involves a lot of ************ and if the price is right the occasional *****.

I sell some digital products from time to time using operator connect services. It is just a side work at the moment but in the future I consider making business out of it. It takes some time to figure out all the detail, so I am on it at the moment. |

I sold a bunch of car key remotes that I got from when I worked at the Ford dealership. I got the remotes for free from finding them left behind in auction files and from the used car manager from the other location. I made $300 on the fobs I sold
