What Do You Do On The Side To Make Money?

how do you make money on the side i wrote a fantasy novel it took 15 years i missed a lot of television i believe i have sold 11 copies edit thank you so much to all of you who commented or messaged me asking about the book it is called conflict part one of the master smith cycle and its own kindle i tried to post a link but i'm not sure if it worked i have also tried to reply to everyone who messaged me god blessed internet edit too hello everyone i'm not sure if i'm doing this right my redick knowledge is woeful or if anyone will see this but i wanted to let people know that i have just finished part two it's called catalyst part two of the master smith cycle and it's available in paperback and on kindle on amazon thank you again to everyone who showed an interest in the first part it really means a lot to me shoveling snow the amount of money some people will pay for you to shovel their sidewalk and driveway is incredible i started shoving snow on the side three years later i had two trucks six employees and 900 driveways now i'm a software developer life is strange that name again is mr plow i play piano for things like wedding ceremonies corporate events cocktail hours christmas parties and receptions and just recently i got cast in a pilot for a tv show which i hope will get picked up i work for some really wealthy people who regularly throw away old but perfectly good things i proceed to sell their trash on ebay craigslist cleaning evicted homes i did it for my landlord during high school and college ten dollars an hour under the table i now have a strong stomach carpentry plumbing and flooring skills it sucks when you find used condoms or tea on the walls but hey i score some neato stuff that people leave behind i also did private housekeeping for some wealthy families in college as well same rate plus they would give me small bonuses for holidays and such edit you'll are so concerned that i only charge ten dollars an hour i was a teenager at the time and i come a severely depressed area of the country this thread is about making money on the side not make a living off it i work through a corporate housekeeping company now and i only make seven dollars 55 an hour i fix iphones and other broken screens as another side job and i over priced out the ass for that housekeeping was merely another thing to do i fix fence and work with cows nebraska life i contract out to inspect welds on construction sites make about as much in two days on the weekend as i do during the week at my actual job edit thanks for all of the questions and comments always good to see so many people take interest in a trade like welding the industry needs more of you my dad and i deliver hot tubs for a small pool company we have a special trailer that makes it super easy people buy these six thousand dollars plus hot tubs that way upwards of one thousand pounds and then realize they can't deliver it themselves that's when we come in and charge two hundred dollars for an easy one or three hundred dollars if it has to go on its side we also remove people's old hot tubs oftentimes they think it's beyond repair so they pay us to get rid of it we then fix it and resell it it's become quite the money maker sounds like an honest day's work my wife is a soap maker i was skeptical of homemade soap at first but after trying it i couldn't go back i didn't even know my skin was dry until it wasn't anymore it also lasts forever and smells pretty nice i buy old wine barrels and convert them into furniture and sell for cash doesn't make huge amounts but every bit helps and as my wife says at least it is a self-funding hobby i teach quinceanera wolsen surprise dance routines basically i teach 15 year olds how to dance for their mexican coming of age party get like 1k a month out of it i own an online store i am currently losing 30 dollars per month i buy cars that have repairable problems or at auction coz that are dirt cheap basically i fix them up clean them up and get them purring like they just drove off the lot then i sell them for much more than i paid and invested in parts i flip like two or three a month sometimes i've made over one dollar zero zero zero on more than one occasion one time i made like three dollars zero zero zero but i got a ridiculous deal on the original purchase when i was younger i would rent an apartment or house that was bigger than i needed typically a 3-4 bedroom place i would use one of the smaller rooms and rent the rest out i would get permission from the landlord to sublet the rooms and would have 10 and sign a month-to-month lease in almost all cases the rent from the extra rooms covered the rent for the apartment or house and sometimes put extra cash in my pocket as i got older i rented larger places until i bought my house real example five bedroom house three upstairs plus two baths two downstairs plus one really big den playroom and a large bathroom which tenants shared he shared the kitchen and had two fridges i bought this house and the mortgage was one thousand six hundred and fifty dollars i rented out the three downstairs rooms for five hundred dollars five hundred dollars and nine hundred dollars for a total of 1 900 now that was a 250 dollar mo profit and we lived in the three upstairs bedrooms for free edit clarified things a bit i do a bit of tutoring pays pretty well 30 pounds an hour sometimes but you work more hours than you're paid for prep travel and mostly the kids ts so it's pretty boring disheartening i also work a few hours a week at a food co-op they pay terribly but it's fun and a good cause also do charity stuff and pay gets topped up with funny looking or bruised veg get some stock and some beans you've got the stew going i sell plasma olade is a future i'm a c developer by trade shamefully on the side i work with php i work as an audio to text transcriber on the weekend it's self-employed and i work from home i don't earn huge amounts and it's pretty tedious not ever having a day off but it can add up to 80 pounds a week or so which really helps kids don't run up those student overdrafts i make films for children's parties get given a particular theme star wars was the last one and rich parents who just want to distract their children for an afternoon pay me to make a film with their kid and said kids friends the kids love it the parents can relax whilst i do all the work with another person and they get a cool little 7-10 minute film at the end of it all making them look like a jedi knight or a mini james bond i had a friend who used to sell alaskan land over the internet for 25 an acre he made around 800 which is pretty impressive i think people would tell him what kind of area they wanted then he would find a place and send them coordinates and a certificate of land i'm also fairly positive this was a scam because i don't know how it couldn't be edit certificate of land seems legit i'm a party princess i dress up as disney princesses with minor alterations and such to avoid getting a cease and desist letter from disney and entertain kids at parties you kind of have to be at least a little good with kids and have activities planned and know your character inside and out but yeah i'm basically a group of children's new god for an hour or two and i make 50.70 an hour it's pretty cool i also go to yard sales buy stuff that will sell shoes accessories antiques and sell it on ebay that brings in anywhere from 100 600 a week edit so i guess this is my ridic claim to 15 minutes fame so
