Interested to hear some side hustles that posters here have engaged in that have created some substantial additional income. The older I get, the more I want to take care of the people I love and give money to help others. I would like to create $10k+ in additional monthly income to take care of those I love. TIA

Real estate - wholesaling, flipping
Stock markets - if you know what you're doing
Buying and re-selling almost anything
Repurposing items and reselling (furniture, equipment)
Buying broke vehicles, fixing, and reselling
Buying car washes, laundromats, any other mostly self sustainable business

Additional $10k per month ($120k annually) is a lot for a side hustle. The best way to get that additional income is probably spend more time on your 9-5 job and get promoted faster.

If you live in a condensed populated area, don't knock uber eats until you try it.

I tested it last year to see how much I could make in spare time.
You're not gonna hit anywhere near $120K/year on it, but I was making $25/hour on average after factoring gas/maintenance/depreciation. Delivering food on your time is the easiest job there is tbh.

I did about 40 trips and then moved to a less condensed area. Have not tried it since.

There is a real need for folks that clean and service fishing reels, particularly near the coast. That would be my side hustle if I needed extra money. Would be tough to make 10k a month and still hold a regular job. Wouldn't be too tough to do 10-15 per week. Fifty bucks a pop, you're looking at around 3k per month. Take cash only and maybe uncle Sam doesn't get his cut.

i have a side huddle of buying sports card collections around Houston and the parsing them up and reselling them on eBay.

I started in 2021 and have ebbed and flowed with it when I have time and energy.

I have never not at least doubled my money, but it does have a learning curve. I buy collections on facebook marketplace. Its fun, something I can do w my kids (we are doing a card show this weekend) and lets me be a kid when work gets overwhelming

If you can find a side hustle for $10K/month please let me know cause I will invest in this lol. Thats more then most peoples full time jobs.

I'd start more realisticly like $2-3k/month.

For me, i've had my real estate license since late 2016 and have helped friends and family buy & sell their homes. Try to do about 2-3 homes a year and its been great side money.

Stuff Ive done on the side for extra money:

Wait tables, bartend, uber, Lyft, uber eats, door dash, consulted on the side using skills from my main job, dividend stocks (investing in general), random jobs on craigslist, pass out fliers, credit card churning for free travel, bank bonuses.

Some of these are easier than others lol.

If you want a side hustle of $10k, learning to budget would make you the most money. You are clearly pissing it away elsewhere.

Started a real estate side hustle in early 2000s with two partners. First building cost us $210,000. 24 years later and portfolio is now over $7.5 million. Time and patience.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

10K is a lot to make up in a month, will this be counterproductive in giving to those you love when making that money will likely take you away from them. Could be more meaningful to them to just be there.

$120k a year from a side hustle? Kind of a lofty goal.

I'm currently at $7k/month, the goal is actually $100k/month.
Just curious what others do for passive income and side hustles. I love learning and talking about it.

It's all from real estate. Long term hold residential, commercial and land. It's boring and takes a long time, but I enjoy doing it.

How do you make money holding land? Are you leasing the land out?

That's cool that you've managed to pull some great returns doing something you enjoy. However, I'd consider that more of an investment strategy than a side hustle. JMO.

I sell it and owner finance for monthly payments typically on 5,7 or 10 year terms.

In the song Uncle Slayter sections off property in to 1/4 acre tracts and sells them to slackers owner finance cuz he knows they won't make payments and he takes it back. He also plays that Choctaw bingo every Friday night.

I feel like a side hustle netting $100K/month might need to involve organized crime.

They just don't write em like this anymore.


Strap them kids in
Give 'em a little bit of vodka in a cherry coke
We're going to Oklahoma to the family reunion for the first time in years
It's up at uncle Slayton's 'cause he's getting on in years
You know he no longer travels but he's still pretty spry
He's not much on talking and he's just too mean to die
And they'll be comin' down from Kansas and from west Arkansas
It'll be one great big old party like you never saw

Uncle Slayton's got his Texan pride
Back in the thickets with his Asian bride
He's got a Airstream trailer and a Holstein cow
He still makes whiskey 'cause he still knows how
He plats that Choctaw bingo every Friday night
You know he had to leave Texas but he won't say why

He owns a quarter section up by Lake Eufala
Caught a great big ol' blue cat on a driftin' jug line
Sells his hardwood timber to the shipping mill
Cooks that crystal meth because the shine don't sell
He cooks that crystal meth because the shine don't sell
You know he likes his money he don't mind the smell

My cousin Roscoe Slayton's oldest boy
From his second marriage up in Illinois
He was raised in East St. Louis by his momma's people
Where they do things different thought he'd just come on down
He was going to Dallas Texas in a semi truck called from that big McDonald's
You know the one they built up on that great big ol' bridge
Across the Will Rogers Turnpike

Took the Big Cabin exit
Stopped and bought a couple of cartons of cigarettes
At that Indian Smoke Shop with the big neon smoke rings
In the Cherokee Nation hit Muskogee late that night
Somebody ran a stoplight at the Shawnee Bypass
Roscoe tried to miss 'em but he didn't quite

Bob and Mae come up from little town
Way down by lake Texoma where he coaches football
They were two A champions now for two years running
But he says they won't be this year no they won't be this year
And he stopped off in Tushka at that "Pop's Knife and Gun" place
Bought a SKS rifle and a couple a full cases of that steel core ammo

With the berdan primers from some East bloc nation that no longer needs 'em
And a Desert Eagle that's one great big ol' pistol
I mean 50 caliber made by badass Hebrews
And some surplus tracers for that old BAR of Slayton's
Soon as it gets dark we're gonna have us a time
We're gonna have us a time

Ruth Ann and Lynn come down from Baxter Springs
That's one hell raisin' town way up in Southeastern Kansas
Got a biker bar next to the lingerie store
That's got them Rolling Stones lips up there in riding leon
And the ride down town to where everyone can see 'em
And they burn all night you know they burn all night they burn all night

Ruth Ann and Lynn
They wear them cut off britches and those skinny little halters
And they're second cousins to me
Man I don't care I want to get between 'em
With a great big ol' hard on like a old bois d' arc fence post
You could hang a fine rail gate from Holstein
Do some sisters twisted 'til the cows come home
You know will have us sometime we're gonna have us sometime

Uncle Slayton's got his Texan pride
Back in the thickets with his Asian bride
He's cut that corner pasture into acre lots he sells 'em owner financed
Strictly to them that's got no kind of credit 'cause he knows they're slackers
When they miss that payment then he takes it back

He plays that Choctaw Bingo every Friday night
He drinks his Johnny Walker at that Club 69
We're gonna strap them kids in give 'em a little bit o' Benadryl
And a cherry coke we're goin' to Oklahoma
Gonna have us a time we're gonna have us sometime

Over the last 10 years, as a side hustle I have made over $200k combined.

1) vending biz (which I am selling and willing to train and help someone interested)

2) helping people improve their boost their credit (let me know if you want to make money doing this)

I have invested most of it in stocks and crypto, which can compound your side hustle earnings.

Half of the machines are on location in the RGV. About half are in storage and can make money anywhere in the US.

How difficult is listing and actually selling stuff on EBay? I have several things I would like to offload out of my closet.
