what can I do to make money on the side?

I currently have a full time job and i'm trying to save a lot of money but it's just not enough, so what i'd like to do is spend some money on tools, sewing machine, saws, or some other things

you see, I have no practice with any skills like those really, but i'm a very fast learner and i'd like something I can get really good at with practice and make money with, maybe selling creations

or even fixing cars and selling em

any tips? how do you make money on the side?

In a similar situation, was sort of hoping that there would be good ideas in this thread. Not so much so far, eh?

Most of the money I get on the side comes from fixing computers for people. I've tackled some pretty tough jobs, but for the most part these are things that I think any competent person could fix.

I'd like to start tutoring in math and doing commissioned artwork, but there are less people looking for those and they're less selective.

One idea I had was making cat play trees at home. I figure there is very little overhead in that area, all you need is scrap lumber, scrap carpeting, twine, and a staple gun. Hell the more I think about it the more I want to fill my garage with the things. Have you seen the prices they can go for?

Find something you know a lot about, and flip it on ebay or etsy depending on the item (avoid ebay if possible).

The trick is to already know a niche item. For example, I crochet and my mother weaves. I can immediately tell when a blanket, placemat, scarf, or whatever is handmade and what kind of quality it is. I can guess most major yarn brands by feel and sight as well. So I buy handmade shit from Goodwill and sell it on Etsy.
I really want to get into dropshipping now that I've moved abroad though. I want to find a good item on alibaba to sell on amazon, but the few I've ordered a test piece of have been total shit that would kill my seller ratings. Very sad.

the problem is, (and I'm not the same person), if I post my methods, people are going to ask a ton of LMGTFY questions which is just frustrating.

And if you post a link to a guide you did or something you can track like a referral, you can easily see that channers start and then immediately quit and forget about it. I have posted stuff over and over on DIY and never seen anyone actually pick it up and run with it. Despite massive interest and me sticking around playing 20 questions, there's never any follow-through.

There's this expectation that somehow there is free money to be made online, so people aren't willing to do the work required.

Most long-term non-sales online money methods require an adsense account, so why don't you all go figure out how to make one, and then come back to this thread? I'll wait.

Do you think growing mushrooms indoors is profitable? If yes, how can I start such a thing? I know there is a local mushroom type which is sold for like 300$/kilo to Japan. Those are used in dishes but I can easily go into dark side and grow magic mushrooms.

if you are proficient with computers you can set up a freelance system builder or tech support system.

just put up flyers on community messageboards, people will be willing to pay you if they can get it cheaper and actually built well.

you might have to be a bit shady with windows licenses though, if you offer them a cracked copy you might run into trouble, also its only a cash deal.

just offer to go with them to pick up components, build it and set it up.

offer 'customer education' for an extra bit of money, if you have a local computer store tell them that you will always bring people in if you can have slight discounts on their parts to help with your buisness and theirs. remember, those are run by people as well.

be honest and let them know if and when they are being fucked over. you can potentially charge 100-150 bucks for a full system setup, and some slight extra for education and software management.

pretend like its harder than it actually is and like you are working really hard, make some mockup buisness cards and always be extremely polite with customers, tell them you are giving them some off or actually take some money off the bill, your customer base will grow from word of mouth.

a lot of office supply stores will print up fridge magnets and other promotional items.

but i still cant stress enough how you need to be nice to the customer, go out of your way to help them until you feel comfortable enough to charge more. even stuff like offering to backup all their DVDs to a HDD for easy watching can get you some money. it takes a little setup but can be profitable.

My dad works as an IT guy at his company, and they pay for the privilege for him to generate his own serial numbers. Before you try to claim otherwise he doesn't work for the biggest company, so I can't imagine it being out of the reach of those willing to take proper steps to be legitimate.

I don't sell them myself, but while looking for replacement parts for clients I've run across components that run crazy prices like these. I think virtual machines have eliminated the need for legacy hardware in most commercial settings. Really the only people looking for this sort of thing are those trying to replace parts in older computers for personal use or something like that. So there aren't actually that many people buying, the only reason the prices are so high is the constantly dwindling supply of these parts.

its a chip soldered to the controllers trigger, bumper, and stick contacts. then you have to add a way to turn the mod on or off. I jist add an extra trigger so you can have rapid fire and a rregular at the same time.

with the new ome coming out nobody wants tto drop that kinda money to juice up and old one. As soon as someone documents the contacts on the new one ill start those.

We'll I used to grow mushrooms the psychedelic kind, and it isn't just letting them grow then sell em. If you want a low maintenance system you can easily set up one after doing some reading on a website that has guides on growing. Mushrooms usually go for $160 an ounce, and to make a lot of money you need to grow a lot and know the people who would buy them. Not too many people take shrooms though, so finding a market which wouldn't get you caught aka "high school kids" and which you would be able to get a bunch of product sold. Overall I don't think you should even try to grow psychedelic mushrooms because it would turn into a full time job.

Skillset:
Military vet, lotta interesting training there.
Good problem solving
Great driver. Give me anything from a smart car up to an 18-wheeler and I will take it where you need to go.
Great with people. Charismatic, can fit into new situations with new people easily.
Morally 'flexible'
Got something you need me to be? Give me two weeks to study up on it. Won't be an expert, but I'm a quick study, and retain stuff well.

The bad:
Can't run anymore (set of screws holding an ankle together. Gift of the Army.)
Little overweight. Not a lot, but I'm starting to get some pudge.
No college
Very internet savy without being computer savvy. Just never learned how to do stuff like programming.

I think I'll pick fun. Passive income for the most part is just a bullshit bait "you'll earn this much money while doing nothing for FOREVER! OMG!"

Sure, you can earn money, but you need hard work and a good and viable strategy, writing random articles will never ever give you enough to live by. You'll spend ten hours writing articles and over the course of a year you'd earn 10$ from them, if the articles are good.

Get your own fucking blog instead of an article aggregator. Not only are you allowed to put any content you want on it, you'll be free to post all kinds of affiliate links on it too.

What the article aggregators do is essentially steal 50% of your advertisement incomes and in return does nothing at all.

If you have ads enabled on 4chan, you've probably seen the "worst thing you can buy" advertisement, the guy runs a blog, and he lists absolutely fucking terrible shit on amazon while writing snarky comments to it, it's quite amusing to read and see all the bullshit listed there(assuming you're bored and looking to kill a few hours). There's no advertisements on the page either.

What he doesn't tell is that the links are affiliate links to amazon, and if you buy anything within 24 or 48 hours from amazon after clicking a link on that blog, he gets a few percentage of the price of that article. Now that's a good approach to earning money. You provide a basic service that people find amusing or useful, meanwhile you bake in some discrete methods of monetization in it.

If you want to earn internet monies, that's how you do it:
1. Create something people can appreciate.
2. somehow make money of it.

To make money shooting porn implies people pay for porn but I guess it's gotta come from somewhere. How do you find the girls?

I'm concerned about posting the link and getting banned, but I shoot whatever fetishes I feel comfortable with, so it's a wide range of stuff. Foot fetish, femdom, shibari, cosplay, latex, panties, gloves, splosh, whatever. The models are super easy to get for me because I used to be a fetish model as well. Fetlife and Model Mayhem, plus models from the paysites I used to work with. A lot of models out there are also willing to do content trades where you shoot stuff for your site, and then you also shoot stuff for their site. No money exchanges hands, you just take care of the proper paperwork and everybody wins.

Hello /diy/ new to this board. I was on /pol/ late last night and we were having a great thread. No JIDF no SRS. Nothing. Just great discussion. One anon mentioned lurking on /k/ /pol/ and another board I forgot. Someone else mentioned that he should lurk here to. So I thought I would stop by and see what goes on here and I must say that I enjoy the content even tho it is slow moving. I was wondering if how to threads were OK to post here? I run a small business doing flooring and have for 10 years and just thought that on my next job I would document a start to finish hardwood flooring project. The real stuff not the cheap crap. I didn't want to start a new thread to slide anything else or risk a ban if it wasn't OK. Also sorry OP. I don't mean to hijack your thread. Just a few responces and I will be on my way. Thanks fellow anons.

Yeah dude, totally make a thread. People make threads just detailing their own projects all the time, it's one of the reasons this board stays so great.

If you don't mind, would you share what "studio" you run? I'm new to clips4sale and would be incredibly grateful if you were to share some advice for me. Most studios have contact info on their pages so I figured it'd be worth it to ask so we could correspond over email.

I think an important thing to remember is some semi raw materials for you to process into a finished, higher quality product. for instance when i finally move into new house ill have room to sew, and i happen to be fond of saris. etsy sells vintage ones for $14 and up, and one sari can be anywhere from 5 to 7 yards of fabric. compare to a $65 a set pair of "sari" curtains on amazon made from silk or cotton that almost looks like a sari. so i can spend $14 dollars, and even if i go as low as
$45 a set, im still making a $31 dollar profit, while beating out competition. and making curtains from something with almost all finished edges is easy peasy. just set yourself aside some capital to get booming

Play to your strengths. If you have a large following on any social network, play to that audience. If you know a lot about a topic that's not yet been put online, write about it.

It takes experimentation. You'll find a niche.

Hubpages is a good place for certain types of articles. I have my own website but use hubpages for articles which don't generate revenue on a standalone site. Hubpages also does eBay affiliate which is a PAIN otherwise. My best HP article nets me average $1 per day. When I tried it on adsense and amazon alone, it made literally zero because it plays to an audience who doesn't click ads.

the guy who posted this originally isn't good at what he's doing. I make decent money on hubpages (around $50 a month and I stopped even logging in around January).

The point isn't to write random shit and regurgitate knowledge for a measly 10 views per day. It's to write something no one's written about or no one's written WELL and take that top spot on google for a term with 1000+ searches per day. And there are millions if you can find them.

Jesus I promised myself I wouldn't get sucked into one of these threads again and look at me still fucking replying.

Your help is appreciated by more than you know.

This might be a LMGTFY, but are there listing services or something else by which to find these highly viewed topics that have shit for the top results, or is it just sitting with notepad open and searching for shit manually?

not him but the best bet would be to start searching subject you have personal knowledge / experience with. Try to find some narrow aspect to write a good article about and expand from there.

it'll take money and a lot of time, but scour craigslist for good deals on motorcycles - REALLY good deals - and part them out on ebay or forums for those bikes.

A bunch of people i knew at college whored themselves out.

Male friends... they just went into a brothel. The pay was ok at best, they needed a strong drink tough, because the ladies that want to fuck are not the ones who can get it easy.

I flip cars. I find really good deals on cars that need minor maintenance (issues that are easy for me to fix, but that devalue the car alot). I usually get them from a public auction and craigslist postings. I average about $3000 a month. Some months are shit, others are great. Just stay away from cars with extensive body damage. Body damage is the most difficult/expensive to fix, unless you're a body guy. I stick to cars that have lots of minor issues.
