I did ghost tours. I charged between $30 to $45 a person and usually averaged about 8-40 people per tour depending on the season. The tips where were the money was at! I also sold merch and photos from the tour.

That’s a really nice (and fun) side gig!

Preferably a side gig that you can do virtually or within your community, and is not labor intensive. Doesn’t have to be the next million dollar idea - just a couple thousand extra a month would be nice.

And you can potentially just buy the equipment and hire the workers and get the customers lined up. The thing most people are missing is the capital for the initial investment.

I resell things on Fb marketplace and dropship on different sites like TikTok Shop and Etsy. I don’t make a lot but I enjoy it.

I have tried a lot of different side gigs, Only thing that worked for me was building and growing niched job boards. I have a few generating $3k to $4k a month at this point, and once you set it up it’s fully passive income. I am sure other people have other ways but that’s the only thing worked for me

I initially did it manually but now built a software that sources jobs and launches the job boards in less than 10 minutes

It's possible if you have the capital to cover the bumps while paying someone to run it. That's the only 'secret' I've found

As in once you start to become net positive with cash flow (versus spotty months) and the business is standing on it's own, that's when you can start to enjoy the fruits of your hard work. Until then, you'll need cash to cover those months when revenue is weak.
