What's your side hustle of choice (apart from cryptos)?

Not talking about a major shift in lifestyle, just something you do to pocket extra. Preferably something done from home.

Example - I used to make beer money in college by buying up in-demand tickets with presales and selling them on stubhub.

College anon here, I have 2 hustles that have worked quite well for me.

First one is buying and selling minifridges. Basically every April hundreds of students move out of res and their houses and such, and a shit load of them have minifridges. They don't want to take them home, and everyone tries to sell at the same time. Literally a classic case supply and demand at work.

I can snap up a minifridge for $10-20 easily, and more often than not get them for free because people just want them gone. Students also leave them in the garbage areas of residence buildings. Once they\re all gone I post ads online selling the fridges and can usually get between 80-120 for each one depending on the quality. The best part is in September a bunch of new students move in, and guess what they all want? Fuckin' mini fridges. Make about $600 a year for not a lot of work.

Second hustle is used textbooks. This doesn't work everywhere, but the bookstore at my university has a buyback program. They'll buy textbooks they predict to be in demand from students for a fraction of their face value. Where the hustle comes in though, is that not every student knows about the buyback program.

What I do is look in a book selling facebook group in April when students are moving out, and compare the books they're selling to the bookstore database to get the price they store will buy it for. I then offer a price to buy the student's book for much lower than the buyback price. I meet the student, buy book, and immediately walk to the bookstore and resell it for a profit. Can get very lucrative if you put time in, I bought one for 5 bucks and turned around and sold it to the store for $112.

Only 50 a month but think about it more in terms of effort. It took me maybe 4-5 hours to get the fridges, and another 3-4 maybe to sell them off. Also this is only with like 10 fridges, if you have a truck you could easily scale up to many fridges and make even more. Also bear in mind I'm a poor college student with free time to do this.

Textbook hustle got me about a grand last april and took maybe 10 hours total

Eh, it's common for Latinos to use feminine/weaker/young men for sexual pleasure when women aren't around or available. I was guilty of this with a younger cousin when I was a horny teen. Not a fan of it in hindsight but the idea is that by just using their body to get off, and with no kissing or intimacy or touching their dick, it's not gay (and can sometimes be seen as alpha, especially if accompanied by violence and taunts, forced, etc).

It's not about profitability, it's about consistency. It's a business like any other, you got to decide what quality of product you're comfortable selling (if you start off selling guuud shieeet you don't want to step down to crappy merch and lose customers), what kind of service (are you able to drop it off at their door, how much of a premium do you charge? Do you educate them on strains? Do you individually wrap shit?) and then of course the whole legal risk thing - but most importantly it's about supply consistancy.

If you sell some good uncut speed, or some dank weed and your supply runs dry do you say "I'm not selling until I get some more shit" or do you find another supplier of shitter stuff, maybe more cut, maybe a weed with a harsher high just to keep the $$$ coming in.

So really you need to be very smart about saving, it's like being a freelancer - feast and famine.
