    Default Who makes money on the side?

    Seems like more and more people are trying to snatch up a side hustle these days because that main income ain't cutting it or they just like the extra money.

    What do you have going? Grocery bagger, bartender, street pharmacist, etc?

    I promote liquors at designated stores. Been doing it for a couple months. 80-100 bucks for several hours of work, mainly on weekends. Plus, I get to take all of the extra liquor home. I'll have a full bar in about a month if I keep going at this pace. Pretty cool gig. Time flies by because I am approached by so many people.

    damn thats a great gig. u got a little booth with free samples or something? at restaurants? liquor stores? on the street?

    i was rickshawing a bit near the end of this season. hard work but fun and rewarding. you pay a weekly rent on the wagon and get to take it out whenever you want. it'll probably be my side gig throughout next summer... i'm considering an attempt to build one myself actually.

    Liquor stores and grocery stores mainly.

    They e-mail a listing of all available locations (almost daily) in the metro area and you select the place of your choosing. It's first come, first serve, so I have to keep my e-mail set to alert. They provide a prepaid debit card to purchase the liquor and supplies in advance.

    I sell shit on eBay, usually nets me around $500 a month in profit. Wholesale clothing mostly. I have a good hookup in DTLA.

    I'm also strongly considering becoming an Uber driver. Downpayments for a house in this town ain't cheap yo.

    The neighbor kid has been doing well with this thing called "Task Rabbit" (i'm 90% sure that's what it's called)

    He's a full time student but just bought himself a new set of wheels for his car from the money he made

    I'm not sure how it works but still

    That's a fun job. I use to do that all day on Saturdays. The parents would flip out over the smallest things, I was getting yelled at one day for a bad spot

    My friend made 40k last summer with Lyft. He'd walk around SF and look for Uber drivers on the app. Then he'd chase them down and get them to switch over to Lyft (there are benefits for switching over). He'd get a sweet commission. After he did this a few times Lyft set him up with a list of people who had started to sign up but never went through with it. He hit up this warm lead list and got them to complete it and got paid bank. Made more in one summer than he did in 3 years saving up at Deloitte. Crazy lol.

    Yeah, I would love a side gig to make some scrills. Hate being so broke. I'm in a foreign country though - best I can do is tutor English for $20-$40 an hour. It's sketch though since I'm just on a tourist visa. Haven't actually done it yet - but tempting.
