Doing A Couple Side Hustles!

avatar

While my bills are piling up and getting closer, I've got to do a couple of side hustles. Generating content on social media is good, but I'm not in a position to remain profitable every month (just yet), so I've got to do some extra stuff to make money.

Cryptocurrency and content creation on social media is my source of reliable income which can net me around $30-$45 a month. It's almost enough to pay for my phone bill. A secondary source of my income is dog sitting my cousin's dogs, which I do probably once a month, or whenever she needs me to. Yet, dog sitting isn't exactly reliable. Probably once every 3-5 months, I will get a call to work in construction for some friends and family, but that is rarely reliable. Working in construction pays very well, so I can work for one week and be set for the month, but it doesn't come often.

So I've created a list of other side hustles I commit to monthly and wanted to share some of them. The list includes...

  • Scrapping
    Scrapping is something that I do once or twice a week without a car. I've primarily focused on checking around my neighborhood or the main road. Sometimes I'll find a TV. Honestly, I've yet to sell what I have been scrapping. It's not like many people consume cans here.
  • Buying Art for Profit
    Another nice little side hustle that isn't meant to boost my income is buying people's art for profit. For example, I'll purchase landscape photos from friends, give them a few dollars for a bundle, and reuse them in some of my social media posts. If they have an account on Hive or Blurt I'll profit share with beneficiary rewards.
  • Loan People Some Money
    Letting people loan your money is a classic way to build income in the financial industry. I don't do it often, but if I have a few hundred dollars unused, I'll loan it out with some interest to trustworthy friends and family.
  • Grow Food For Profit
    Ahh, yes, the classic agrarian lifestyle. I primarily grow some food to lower the expenses at the grocery store, but I'm leaning more toward selling some of my produce for profit. There is no shame in living a modest lifestyle.

These side hustles aren't always lucrative, but it's another form of income that I can rely upon without throwing myself back into working for companies or people I do not like or support. Eventually, I may want to start my own business, so what I'm doing right now can help get it all started. All it takes is some initiative.
