Side Hustles
In this day and age, having a side hustle is almost required to just survive. I have been fortunate to come across a variety of ideals that have either worked for me or someone that I know. I would like to share some of that information with you so that if you are looking into side hustles, this may assist you in your endeavors.
Here are the few that I have researched; (Do your own research, but this should get you pointed in the right direction)
- Print on Demand
- Dropshipping (No inventory, website, lots of marketing)
- Fiverr (Find something that you can do and sell your service)
- Arbitrage (Estate/Garage Sales)
- Affiliate Marketing (Get paid for referrals)
I can tell you that there are a crap ton of people out there willing to take your money for “special” training that no one else provides. As with anything, Buyer Beware! I am not as trusting, especially when people make things sound too easy or don’t give you the full story. With that being said, here is what I have found.
There is a Young Man who provides a lot of FREE information, that is not only better than some of the paid training available, but he has a proven track record and really shares good advice period. His name is Adrian Brambila and he does have paid training as well, but I would recommend the FREE stuff until you are ready (Making some money) to invest in taking the advanced training. If you feel that you are ready to invest in yourself and side hustle, I would register for “The Brambila Method” and follow the steps as presented to make things happen. There is a lot of information and support. One of his largest sources of income is Affiliate Marketing, meaning you get paid for basically selling other peoples products/services. You are provided a link from that company and if someone purchases anything as a result of your referral, you get paid. SO if you decide to join, please follow the provided link, as I am working on my Affiliate Marketing too, and enjoy the information! I have been pleasantly surprised on what I have learned.
Print on Demand
is an awesome platform to get your feet wet in the online income business without having to invest any money at all. What it allows you to do is to create work, ideas, pictures, drawing, etc… and upload them to a site that will allow them to be monetarized via shirts, cups, hats, etc. at no cost to you other than time and creativity. It is an awesome entry that can generate some income. Adrian talks about this as well and it is a very simple process. Once you look at one, or many, of the sites, you just sign up for an account, follow the steps and begin adding you work to your own store. There are quite a few options and here are a few… RedBubble, Zazzle, Teepublic and Printful.
What is really nice about this, you can do the work once and then place the same work on all the sites. Immediate scaling!!!
Check out my work and tell me what you think!

Arbitrage
The last thing that I am going to share with you is the one that is near and dear to my heart; Arbitrage, or “Reselling” for us normal folk.! I started out just looking for a 10” subwoofer and it has blossomed into a fun, profitable side hustle that has paid for a lot of vacations, toys and stuff. I find great deals at Estate/Garage sales, clean them up and flip them. If necessary, I will either make minor repairs, or farm the repairs out, if it is worth it. I resell on eBay mostly, but have done some fb marketplace and now venturing in Mecari. There are lots of options for resell as well.
Here you can see where I purchased 2 sets of Bose Speakers for $100. They had 2 sets and sold them both under one item, so $50 per set and then sold one of the sets for $220. Even after eBay fees, packaging and shipping, I did great! The other set will be pure profit once it sells. This is but one example of many.
If you are looking for a more detailed explanation of how I go about this, I have put together a couple of courses; “Ballin’ on a Budget!” and “Ballin’ on a Budget for PROFIT!” They go more into the detail associated with my process, along with tips and recommendations on finding the best deals and becoming profitable quickly, if that is your goal. They will be available soon!
