I draw maps for ttrpgs [tabletop roll playing games]. I do them with dip pens so they got that Tolkien feel. Its very cheap to get into, holder+nibs is like $9, ink runs about $7 a bottle and lasts FOREVER, rolls of vellum run around $25 for 25 feet, smaller scale Bristol run about $1 a sheet, you can buy technical drawing tools but not required . It is EXTREMELY time intensive but I really enjoy it. When I get world map commissions its about 20 hours and I charge about 300, small scale is around 8 hours and price varies on detail.

My wife and I run a small book store on eBay. We have a lot of fun doing it.

Brand Ambassador for liquor store promotions. Each promo is usually 3 hours and all you do is sample out the product of liquor that you’re representing for that event. Usually pays 25-35 an hour and pays for gas if you have to travel. Bonus’s include getting to take home the leftover booze you’re sampling. Been doing these for years and always a nice change of pace and a great way to make an extra 120-140 bucks.

I'm a knitter and worker part-time at my local yarn store. I could find a place that pays more, but I like the relax, no pressure culture and get a huge discount on everything in store on top of my salary. I usually work every other weekend, which gives me a good life-work balance, even with 2 jobs, and I get to pick up more shifts around Christmas, to pay for Christmas gifts.

I weave backpack baskets and sell them on Etsy. I do custom orders when I have the time, but typically make them in my spare time and just post them in batches. Eventually they'll all sell and then I make another batch I make $175-$350 each sale depending on size, color, etc.

I used to cut out and sell plywood shapes (chicken, pig, tree, state shapes, etc) with my scroll saw. Sold on Etsy. A good side income considering that I could take 50 cents worth of 1/4" Baltic birch plywood, cut it out, sand it, and sell it for 10 dollars. It was good extra money but I stopped doing it because I wanted my free time after work for me again and not for fulfilling orders, and because the saw is loud and I already have a loud job so my ears needed to quit the side gig.

I’m a backpacking guide. People will pay well for someone with backcountry first aid certs and knowledge of an area. It could be a weekend only job, though I do sometimes take 4 day trips as well.

Soccer referees make $35 a game to be a assistant referee. My son will make $500 a weekend at a tournament.

I make and sell stuff at comicons and anime conventions and the like. It brings in about $500-800 in profit on an average weekend, for smaller shows. The one big one I have done brought in well over $2000.

Embroidering shoes. Buy a pair of Converse for $90, spend about three hours embroidering them, and sell them for $200 (more if custom).

ETA: I should I add that basic embroidery doesn’t net that much profit. Find a niche subject (anime does really well) and use their customers’ likes to your advantage.

What are your side hustles that bring you income? : Frugal

I accidentally started a landscaping company and now the people who hired don’t want me to stop, so I’ve been reading books and making binders on information I’m learning, and getting a new truck to haul supplies around.

Same with motorcycles and bicycles, people pay to hand detail and clean and fix things, it’s really good money once you’re familiar.

I started teaching part time at the community college for $70/hr. I wish I could quit my day job and teach full time but it’s really hard to find full time positions and I teach a fairly niche specialty.

windisfun comments on What are your side hustles that bring you income?

I do screen printing, embroidery and vinyl cutter work for decals.

All of my equipment was purchased off Craigslist, using the profits from selling shirts, hats and decals.

My shop space is in a converted garage at my house, so there is no overhead like rent, insurance and utilities. If I'm not printing it doesn't cost me anything.

Moral_Anarchist comments on What are your side hustles that bring you income?

Selling plasma. It's actually quite lucrative, and most people qualify as donors.

The local place I go to you can go every 3 days or so, and get anywhere from 45 bucks to 75 bucks per session depending on how often you go per month (the more you go, the more you get). Plus the first 8 sessions at the place I go to pay 100 dollars each.

It takes a couple hours the first time you go in to fill out all the forms, and you have to have your ID and answer some health questions and take a physical, but the only real other thing you need is proof of address. Every session beyond the first takes maybe an hour or from start to finish (unless it's the middle of the day, when it's usually pretty busy).

If you go early in the morning you can beat the lines...and there are enough plasma places you can likely even shop around for the best deals.

If you want more info, just message me.

Mystery shopping through Market Force and Intelli Shop.

I’ve worked as a “mother’s helper” for years. It’s a sweet spot between nanny (because you usually don’t have to watch the kids) and house cleaner (because you don’t have to deep clean). Mostly kid laundry, dishes, tidy up, make lunches. I make $25/hour and it barely feels like work.

Writing smut/erotica/romance.

I’m a retired English teacher and can only do this now that I don’t have a morality clause.

Hahahahahahaha.
