What are some good ways to get multiple incomes alongside a full-time job? I was thinking strongly about investing, stocks or maybe starting a small business from home.

Where is a good place to get started on this and find good information and resources on any of these topics? I'm not looking to get rich but just something to make extra money on the side for emergencies, vacations etc.

Easy. Try things out and don't do anything that doesn't pay you triple the minimum salary (22$/hour). Otherwise you will compete with human ants in a field where only way to win is to sacrifice more time and money.

It was chink Benz center caps so Daimler whinged to eBay about it and my account got suspended lmao.
Now the market has been destroyed by people who got the same idea, 100 center caps would cost me around 80 quid, I was selling a set of 4 for £25.
Nowadays there's plenty of listings selling a set for like a fiver.

Need to find myself a new niche but it's hard.

Thought about getting into Etsy.

I love passive income. For the last 10 years I've been building sources of passive income while working full time. 3 months ago I quit - I'm full passive bitches.

Websites. All kinds. I've made landing pages that direct to amazon and bought cheap traffic. I've done affiliate links on forums and shit all over. I have a few garbage "blog" sites for niche topics with ads. You can make money with almost any kind of website if you create and market it right. Change small things every time, maybe replace the art if you're feeling ambitions with photoshop (its not even that hard really).

Microstock images. iStockPhoto (Adobe iStock now?), ShutterStock, Fotolia, etc. Make shitty images with blender or take shit with your new phone. Trees, people, apples, fucking anything. Better quality and more generic generally make more money. You improve as you do it, so you start with garbage but eventually get good.

Asset flips. Welcome to the future. Download Unreal Engine or Unity and start flipping today! It costs $100 to submit a flip o Steam. You only need to make that $100 back then you're iiinn the greeeeen! Bonus points if you did microstock first because HEY now you know blender and photoshop too! Then put your flip on Google Market whatever and Apple App Store or what have you. I think Unreal engine can submit to the Epic store for free so there ya go ez pz.

Trade bot; Buy low, sell high. There are a few digital assets (not just crypto) and in some cases you can find low risk great opportunities. You can also make auto arbitrage trading bots. This is more difficult than the others and I suspect most of the brainlets on this board would only lose money if they tried that.

they say millionaires have on average 7 sources of income. That's my eventual goal along withe earning more from each income source every year. Currently have - my full time wagecuckings, my side hustle, dividends from boomer stocks (getting about 4.5% /yr) and interest from savings account. I'm also working on 2 websites with the hope of monetizing via affiliate links and google ads. Would like to some day get into rental properties

My reaching goal is to end up with a steam game with at least 1000 reviews. That would put me at about a minimum of 30,000 sales (rule of 30). I base it off of reviews because it's the easiest steam metric to find and the rule of 30-50 is pretty constant.

Just some number crunching would show that if the game sells at $20 and I net half of that after Steam fee/taxes I could net 6 figures at about a game with 300 reviews. If you look at many colony sim games on steam that is definitely doable if it isn't trash.

I've spent most of my time laying the groundwork to support such a game. All the things like lighting, pathfinding, networking, modding, and art pipeline are all there but I haven't started the actual game outside of testing. My overarching goal for this is to actually make 3 games in the span of about a year based on this system:
>Ant colony simulator (maybe with aliens instead of ants that can get mutated to get different abilities/castes
>Rimworld style game
>Liberal Crime Squad remake

There is a reason why multi-z level tile based games are so infrequent by the way. It's mostly just do to physical constraints.
Imagine 400*400*100 = 16,000,000 tiles/entities. At one byte per tile that would be 15 MB already.
Now consider what happens when a single object reference in c# is 12 bytes minimum and a single entity will need dozens of references to represent health, color, sprite image, lighting, whatever and that's hundreds of bytes that simply will not fit in memory.

I created a template system that allows for entities to use up a minimum of about 25 bytes total in memory (that includes their reference) if they aren't edited, and if they are edited once then about 70 plus however many bytes that were changed on the object.

So you can imagine a world full of various kinds of tiles that could even be modded in and each one would only take up 25 bytes until it is damaged from mining for example and that would make one about 80 bytes in size.

This is for all entities. A tile entity could be given a component that lets it damage people who pass by, emit radiation and temperature, do anything and STILL stay at 25 bytes.
Entities are represented as json templates with components that represent a subscription to a system. You can mod your own custom components as well.

Ebay

I buy t-shirts from thrift stores for a couple bucks & flip them. Sometimes they only sell for $5-$10 and i double/triple my money, other times you get that crazy bidding war, most i sold one for was around $150. I buy other gems in the rough while at the thrift stores too

Also alibaba. Find a symbol/something that isn't trademarked & have shirts, hats, accessories custom made in bulk for cheap. Or find something that is trademarked and only sell a few with a fake return address...

it's a dumb meme perpetuated by the haves to goad the have-nots into believing they can make it.
Most income is not passive. Only if you are already rich can you make enough off of being a landlord to sustain yourself.
>>15880837
This guy is the perfect example. Your Affiliate Marketing sites will not get any hits without massive work and it'll just be a drain on hosting resources. And you barely get paid on any sales you get, basically minimum wage tier work. Trading bots don't work.
anyone selling you passive income is trying to make scam you.

I'm making it work though. Many of my websites are old enough and have enough links / mentions that it's all hands off. Once you get a game on Steam you can basically forget about it. It's a lot of work to get going but what it is it's truely passive.
