What are your "side hustle's" or ways to earn some extra money?


Recommended Posts

The world is tough right now, and many people need to find extra ways to earn money aside from full-time jobs. I'm asking what people are doing 1. to see how others deal with the high cost of living these days, and 2. to promote something I thought up last week as a way to use the skills I have developed (mostly because of VHL).

 

Last week I got the bright idea, at least I thought it was, to start an Etsy page where I can make digital trading cards for people much like I have done here. I have advertised that people can send me a photo that they would want to use for a card, as well as some relevant information, and I will make them a trading card that they can later print for themselves. Because this is really the only online community I'm a part of and it's sports-related, I was hoping to advertise my page to try and get a little traction. Maybe you have kids and it would be cool to have a custom card of them doing their sport, or you know people who would want that, or you really want one for yourself, that isn't just the generic one you would get for team-photo day. No matter the case, I would like to get this off the ground a little (and make some money on the side), while providing a unique service for people.

 

Come check out my page if you're interested!

P.S. If this isn't allowed, please let me know and I'll remove it.

Very creative side hustle for sure!  I usually end up doing freelance work in the same field I'm currently in.  If I get American work I make quite the killing with the exchange rate as it is.  I do less of this nowadays though since we've had the kids.

I've always enjoyed woodworking. I made enclosures for my snakes, posted the photos in local reptile group, got some questions about where I got them...that's how I started building 3 or 5 custom enclosures a year lol. Plus selling some extra feeder mice and rats I breed.

I used to referee floorball matches... not overly good paid and not exactly a thankful occupation. But it gives you the opportunity to waste someone else's weekend ;)

I've talked about mine quite a bit, and while none of them are currently making me money, I'm cautiously optimistic I can make it work eventually. Writing, youtube, and I do a fair bit of reselling on ebay.

Yes and the postage from the Netherlands is killing my profit margin!

Have it sent to Van Diemen's Land and it counts as inland flight ;)
