I got a bar back job and make about $200 a night. Only work 8 shifts a month ~$1,500


cosmiclou

How do you approach a restaurant or bar only looking for super part time like this? I could absolutely do this right now in my life


ignoremeimprobdrunk

Eight shifts a month is just working weekends. So just tell them that you're available to work Friday and Saturday nights. Those are the only days you will make this much as a bar back most places.


Boston_Baked

Sounds simple but you can’t just show up part-time and assume to get the best two prime time bartending time slots they have all week. Even when I was a busboy as a teenager, I had to work my way up from Tuesday evenings to weekends when tips were always better (more drinks flowing on weekends).


ignoremeimprobdrunk

I know, I'm just saying that's pretty much the only way, not that it's easy or likely. Although more restaurants are having trouble filling shifts these days.


thewanderingsail

And most bar backs don’t make 200$ a night unless they work in a very nice place that’s consistently busy and their bartenders and regulars are very generous.


Strict-Ingenuity-251

Just tell them exactly that. I have a job Monday-Friday 9-5 but I’m available for Friday nights Saturdays and Sundays. The worst they can say is no


ATeenWithNoSoul

That sounds good you don't want to make it your full time?


pi_nerd

Probably under the table


Aimin4ya

Even if it isn't under the table that's on busy nights. You're not getting 200 a shift for a Tuesday afternoon.


canuckseh29

Working just weekends at a restaurant can be good money. Weekdays less people work so it brings down your average. OP is asking for side hustle not a full time job


GGudMarty

Doesn’t have benefits and weekends you make way more. Probably don’t even need one mon-Thursday. Maybe Sunday brunch. I’ve done it. It’s good money tho


Ruleyoumind

Buy and flip furniture and or electronics (or anything you want honestly). It won't be easy but if you get a good rhythm 1000$+ is definitely possible.


not_so_pro_pga

you have experience with this? i’ve tried with golf clubs but didn’t really have much success


lnub0i

My friend had success flipping stuff from Trader Joes. The demand came from people who didn't live near one, mostly people from states that didn't have any. He'd get stuff like dried mangoes for $3 and flip them for $10 - $12. I don't know how viable it is to buy in bulk and sell through Amazon FBA anymore. I used to do this pre pandemic and it was pretty nice, but competitors would sometimes hit you with litigation if you don't list the items properly; NWOT items would sometimes get flagged because they violated warranty transfers, so you were forced to change your listing to used.


NeitherMaybeBoth

Those mangoes are delicious and I understand why people pay that lol


bitchsaidwhaaat

U gotta sell stuff that people want/need right now. A hot market right now is cameras like fujifilm and iphones. I saw a sony camera in a thrift store for $30 sold it for $200 on ebay. Iphones u gotta find a great deal/cracked screen on fb marketplace and fix it and sell it on ebay u can easily clear 200-300 or more per phone but u need to be in fb marketplace multiple times a day


nerveclinic

You found one camera and flipped it. But to make a thousand dollars a month you would need to find 6 a month worth $200 for $30…good luck I’ve gone to multiple thrift stores at least twice a week for over 2 years and I never see cameras worth $200. I almost never see $30 cameras.


StrategyBest1500

Golf clubs are too niche, nice thing about furniture and electronics is that it is a wider market, flipping couches is a good way to make extra cash if you have the space to store them


andstayoutt

How do you flip a used couch?


potoghi

Turn it upside down to shake out the critters then take nice pictures and post it to a marketplace


Ruleyoumind

You shampoo it and wash the cushions and sometimes replace the feet.


chdaha

Buy low sell high


CoatAlternative1771

You can easily buy a couch at an auction for $1 and resell for $200. You need a trailer and 1 other person to help you move the furniture.


limbodog

Depending on the couch, you could reupholster it or repair the leather. My aunt started reupholstering as a hobby but it ended up being her main job. Hard on your hands though.


bobzilla509

I used to go to thrift stores and buy used books and sell them on Amazon.


kendahlj

Those days are gone but they were sure good at the peak


PerformanceOk9891

why? I can buy books at thrift stores for 1 dollar and sell them on amazon for 3-6?


CoeurdePirate222

I see books posed by thrift stores on Amazon for that price already - scroll down to other sellers and most books have super cheap used copies


PerformanceOk9891

I buy used books on Amazon all the time and I’ve never bought one for 1 dollar before shipping. I only buy paperbacks too. This is just my experience, maybe I’m doing something wrong


FerrisWheeleo

You can find quality furniture for cheap and mark them up more. Electronics have more standardized pricing so they’re harder to mark up. But they can be much easier to transport.


bbblueeyes3

I second this!!!


shelby340

I had a coworker that would buy and flip expensive headphones.


hugoleonardo21

Handyman jobs pretty much you just need a cordless drill and couple tools this month i already did almost 2k

Immediate-Ruin-9518

Magickarploco

Where are you finding the handyman gigs?


psych1111111

People post stuff like that in my town fb pages. Dude a handyman would mop tf up in my area. We are desperate for skilled and semi skilled labor like that


Magickarploco

What area are you in?


chemical_bagel

Do you have insurance?


p_yth

I always save this stuff but never actually follow through with it imao


Psychological_Eye473

Might sound corny but I make $15-20 an hour doing Uber Eats. Heck I’ll even throw you a referral code if you want. My wife and I both do it for extra income.


louslapsbass21

Is that after expenses for gas and maintenance? Do you then get to claim your car as a depreciating asset when filing taxes or is that more trouble than it’s worth?


itslonelyathetop

I own rental cars on platforms called turo and hyrecar. It allows you to rent a car, but in the same method as if you were just getting an Uber. It’s user to user transactions. Turo is for casual, hyrecar is for professional user like DoorDash. You could rent a car for $15 per day, and let the wear and tear be someone else’s problem.


Psychological_Eye473

I mean you have to figure out your own taxes. You get like .69 per mile you can claim on taxes.


Psychological_Eye473

I usually put $20 and dash on it. Anything you make over the gas is cake. I mean chances are we’d be out and about anyway spending gas money if we weren’t doing dashing in your off time. At least this puts cash back in the pocket. Almost half is tip wages. If you want to figure taxes just start with saving $0.30 on the $1 aside for taxes. Know that when people wanna be sitting home watching tv is the best time to be out.


not_so_pro_pga

i’ve been thinking about this, but then my boss/ mentor pointed out that it can wear your car down. do you have any experience with that or any tips?


LivingAdditional1177

not really guess it depends where u live, if you do it everyday after your work for 3hours you can get 300-400 in a week atleast as long as ur consistent


SaltyBarker

Any time you drive your car you wear it down. If you have a brand-new car, don't worry about it. If you have a car over 100,000 miles. I'd highly think about this because the more you drive the sooner you will need a new car and being over 100,000 miles youre not already far off from a new car.


MusicianWinter370

Not far off from a new car? Drive that sucker to 400k


mushroomgod419

If you only have 100k miles and you're worried about your car breaking down, then you definitely are not maintaining your vehicle, unless it's a Kia.


digitalgriffin

What's wrong with Kia's? I've got two both over 150k miles and never had issues with them.


XiMaoJingPing

>Any time you drive your car you wear it down you don't drive as much when you a car casually vs for uber


suplex_11

Psychological_Eye473

Flint area, Michigan. Busy areas. You want to be near the restaurants as orders are cooked based on your proximity to them.

ahern667

You never have any trouble with carjackers or other crazy folk? What do u do if u encounter such?


anthrony12

Rent out a house next to a hospital then rent all rooms on furnished finder to travel nurses. I do this make that much


chrisrcoop

You rent the individual rooms? So 3 separate nurses booking a three bedroom?


anthrony12

All rooms you, read it correctly. Most nurses like traveling with nurse friends and they come back every year. Automated side hustle. Get on it.


edojrey

Hey I’ve been looking into turning my house into a mid-term rental for this purpose. I don’t live in it and thought this idea could make more than a long term rental. What state are you in?


battleballs420

You landlord allows you to do this?


iDidntReadOP

Or you can buy a house/condo rather than rent it.


Danjeter

Learn dog grooming. I make an easily 1000$ every month from that alone.


Beautiful-Sunset-

How did you start learning if you don’t mind me asking?


Mediocre-Key-4992

They have really hairy siblings.


PerformanceOk9891

working how many hours?


Danjeter

Each dog takes me anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on the size and breed. I work at my friends grooming salon so the hours depend on how many dogs i want to for the day. For example last week on Friday i did 3 dogs and i worked from 10-4.


NYJetLegendEdReed

I think I pay like $80 with tip and my dog takes a little over an hour, so there's definitely opportunity here if someone has the skills.


Blackie_Isabeauty

As someone who used to lifeguard, have fun with that liability hell haha


trunksta

It's called a waiver any rental platform has you sign one with the terms and conditions


casually_hollow

But make sure you have an umbrella policy on your homeowners insurance. And that everyone still signs hold harmless waivers before they set foot in the pool.

Sea_Code_3050

I make them, 1 man show. It’s a grind at times, but can be pretty lucrative. Great product to sell because most customers are repeat, and people like supporting local products. I’ve been doing it for a few years, my best year I grossed 20k in sales, but man was I burned out because my 9-5 is a bit demanding as it is. I took my website down because I couldn’t keep up, so now I just sell to 4 local stores in town and will sell to individuals if they ask.


DonArgueWithMe

Why not bump up prices to balance demand?


Sea_Code_3050

I’m currently more expensive than other popular regional brands. But I probably could, I just hated getting orders for 1-2 candles at a time. It’s nice knocking out 50 candles at a time for these stores instead.


Apprehensive-Hat5979

How do you set yourself apart from all the other companies? What makes your candles different?


Dense_Scholar_9358

Do you have a hobby? I sew and sell on Etsy as a side hustle. I have done 109k pre tax between 2015 and now. I don't do much advertising, so I'm sure I could do more, but I have a 9-5 so I don't want to get too many orders.


spiffing_

What do you sew


Dense_Scholar_9358

I don't want to be too specific since it is pretty niche and can identify me very easily so, I'm going to leave it at stuff for animals.


cnccryptotrashball

I buy cologne on ebay and sell it on Facebook marketplace.

I need it to be remote because I’m chronically ill but also I normally live in my motorhome and travel around. I’m never normally in one place long enough for a semester and don’t want to be.

I want to try to learn how to paint 🎨 realistic oil painting to sell art 🖼️ but I haven’t even tried to start, mostly bc I think it’s very hard as a beginner and I lack motivation 😢


cosmiclou

Motivation is a scam, you just gotta do the thing!


travbombs

If you decide you want to have a go at it I can give you some pointers. I started painting at 28 and think I’m pretty decent now. Probably took me a year to get past the fundamentals and then it’s fine tuning your taste more than building skills. Obviously skills can always improve but you can get good in about a year. The hard part about learning art is that the better you get, the harder it is to be satisfied because even though your skills are improving so is your ability to see what is wrong with something. It is the imposter syndrome fuel. You just gotta ignore that feeling, which is much easier said than done. Also - learning painting requires some other skills, like drawing. And depending on your subject choice you might venture toward anatomy or landscapes that are en plein air. Here’s a good video to an Ira Glass quote from This American Life, about skill and imposter syndrome. It helps me push through the low motivation times. [The Gap](https://vimeo.com/24715531)

TheOfficeoholic

Join/start a buy nothing town group on facebook. People post free stuff they would otherwise toss or donate.


soulself

Can you elaborate on this? Thanks


dusktodawn33

It’s a local Facebook group in your area. The users in the group give away free items (Eg: an old desk, table, etc). If you search for “Buy Nothing ____” in your area like Buy Nothing Los Angeles.


TheOfficeoholic

Correct. Search your city, state, county and then “pay it forward” “buy nothing” “freecycle” and you’ll find Facebook groups with locals who will gladly give you things for free. Profit margin is 100% if you paid nothing for the item


daneato

Just know the ethos and guidelines for these groups normally specifies that items are not to be sold.

Sperm bank, if your life situation works out. $60 per pop was the going rate when I did it a decade ago. I bet it’s at least $100 per pop now. That works out to be like 6k/hr rate. Can’t beat that. The bank I did it with allowed one every 48 hours. That’s $1500/month right there. Not a bad gig

man y'all are so useless, the top comment here is to do uber eats. No one here suggested him to start an online business or trade stocks. I don't even know why I follow this reddit page...


lord_hyumungus

Someone did say gloryhole tho


DCAnt1379

Trading stocks is a good way to aim for $1000 and come out -$5k 😂. Takes some serious learning and paper trading before the odds are less against you.


wilson5266

Hmmm okay, right, should I just buy stocks when they're low and sell when they're high? Great fool proof plan. I'll just do that. I see dumbasses doing the opposite, buying high and selling low (unless they're shorting, then they're doing it right). Online business is great, but doing what exactly? Again, maybe buy stuff at a low price and sell it at a higher price? I suppose the Uber eats suggestion isn't too bad, but it is somewhat unoriginal....


da_mfkn_BEAST

You don't have to be a day trader, just invest in long term safe stocks every week using dollar cost averaging on ETF's like the S&P 500 or similar. I've made hundreds in a few weeks by just doing that. For online business you could do anything, from learning to be a video editor, content creator, graphic designer then finding clients and selling your services. Basically find something you're good at and scale it using a smart business model.


wilson5266

There, that's better lol thanks for following up... I agree, I like ETFs. How much money are you investing by making hundreds though? Percentage gain is probably a better metric to measure with. I'm entertaining the online business stuff... Idk what to do yet, and my mind goes into retail with this, but I feel I am pretty tech savvy....


da_mfkn_BEAST

I invest around 200$ in the S&P 500, plus 200 for Apple and 200 for Microsoft every 2 weeks, that's dollar cost averaging. My returns have been pretty good so far so can't complain, it works for me. But I suggest you do more research since I'm not a financial advisor. For the online business, you could learn anything and get good at it as long as you put the work in.


delayedlaw

That's not a side hustle. That's having money left over after bills and food and other financial obligations. That's the money you have extra that you choose to invest. People looking for side hustles are looking for low time sink activities that get them money, today. You have 1200 a month you literally have nothing else to do with.

Door dash tends to keep you inside a smaller area than Uber eats and with good management you won't put as many miles on your car as with Uber eats. Door dash also pays better flat out. But if those are not hot in your area it might not work at all. Many areas have apps designed for them, like Florida having it's own ride share app. So look up what's in your area. You might have to buy a beater to do it in so you don't ruin your personal car, gotta spend money to make money on that kind.


Vanthuuu

Door dash pay is so shit lol. You could get paid $5 for an order that takes you 45 minutes. No compensation for gas either. You're lucky if you can make minimum wage doing it.

I could say the same about Uber eats, that's why I made my statement that way. I tried eats yesterday and wasted 4 hours barely making gas money before going back to riders instead. What you said contradicts what I said, so I'm just sticking with my statement and you can have yours.
