It’s never been easier to make money on your own time and on your own terms.
In fact, this post has dozens of legit money-making ideas for you to try — and get paid.
Read on to find the ones that will work for you!
Real estate investing is perhaps one of the oldest side hustles in existence.
Buy a house, rent it out, and build wealth. It’s a tried and true formula, and certainly a way to stop trading time for money.
This idea was popularized by books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, explaining (often with real estate as an example) how you can “escape the rat race” when income from assets you control exceeds your monthly expenses.
But real estate investing comes in many different “flavors” — and some take more time and money than others to get started with.
Can you really get paid to read books?
If you’re an avid reader, I’m happy to report there are quite a few legit ways to get paid to read.
In this post, I’ll break down some of my favorite — and most creative — methods to turn your reading hobby into an extra income stream.
When you’re starting a business, it’s only natural to want to keep your risks as low as possible.
But risk is relative. No one ever talks about the risk of staying at a job you hate. What does that do to your mental health and relationships?
The bad news: no business you start will be immune from these risks.
The good news: there are specific actions you can take to set yourself up for success.
Yes, you can get paid for your opinion — and actually get paid pretty well.
But … the most lucrative ways to get paid for your opinion take more time and effort than simply answering surveys.
In 2015, I started building what I call “my cash flow portfolio.” This is a specific set of investments designed first and foremost to generate interest and dividends.
My thinking was: how can I get paid over and over again from work I do once?
And by investing for cash flow, I could turn every “extra” $1,000 I earned into $20-80 a year in truly passive income … forever.
What are the best side hustles for writers?
The good news is writing is a great, in-demand skill to make money from. Yes, even in the age of Chat GPT, there are lots of writing side hustles that can earn you money in your spare time.
Chad Carson is a 30-something semi-retired real estate mogul, who together with his business partner, oversees a portfolio of 90+ rental units.
In fact, he and his wife are in the middle of an exciting adventure — a year abroad in Ecuador with their two daughters.
But of course he didn’t start there. Fresh off the football field at Clemson, Chad’s real estate career started more modestly by “bird dogging” and house hacking — two of the tactics he shares in this week’s show.
Flipping furniture for profit is an increasingly-popular side hustle.
You can make $150-250 per flip in your spare time, work with your hands, and potentially save items from the landfill with your upcycling efforts. Here’s how to get started.
When you return a product to Costco, Amazon, or Walmart, it doesn’t always go back to the shelves. In most cases, that product ends up at a local liquidator that resells it to side hustlers, who then flip it for profit.
Jamie McAuley has been doing just that for the past few years, and he’s earned over $25k in profit in the process.
