Dog Walker here, myself and my partner made a full time business out of it. We moved on to Dog Training. Excellent job, full time wage for part time hours. Just be aware it can be very stressful at times looking after peoples loved family members, but absolutely go for it if you are considering it, you won’t be disappointed!

Be very careful regarding renting out your car. First and foremost, *_make absolutely sure_* that your car insurance allows it. It's highly unlikely it will and you may well need to get a very expensive insurance to allow it. If you don't check this out, remember how badly some people treat typical hire cars. They could well leave you with a write off.

House sitting seems like a job even someone with intense social anxiety could do.

[@nancycurtis7315]

It can put even more stress on you. If you need to even go shopping in an unfamiliar environment, the panic factors can be really bad. I know..... I house sit for a friend on a regular basis, but it is a long way from home and my safe place. Yes. I suffer from anxiety. I still do it, but after a couple of weeks, I am mentally exhausted.

[@ladykoiwolfe]

@@nancycurtis7315 I wasn't thinking about it lasting that long. And I need to find a place with mobility scooter for the customers.

[@normanbyrne9868]

The problem with the ones using your vehicle is that if you don't let your insurer know that you're using your vehicle in a work related manner, they can drop you or charge you heavily for doing so.

[@laurakibben4147]

Most of those 1099 driving gigs require proof of 100/300/100 which won't pay out in the event of on top of most insurance companies have you sign that you are not using said vehicle doing driving gigs.

[@christigmc]

The farmers market food suggestion. Check with your state’s health department for rules and regulations and crunch some numbers to see if it is worth it first. I make a killer BBQ sauce that everyone tells me how delicious it is. I looked into bottling it and selling it at the farmers market. According to my state’s regulations I have to do it in a commercial kitchen. When I looked into how much commercial kitchen rental plus licenses and insurance, I calculated I would need around $5000 to start. So wasn’t worth it. My friend does vegan baked goods at the farmers market. Those under our state’s regulations can be done in a home kitchen. Do your research and not all foods are profitable.

[@alexmiles40]

I've always loved you Mike, but now I love you even more. Can't wait to get a bit of extra cash each month! Peace Out.

[@list25]

Awww I love you too! Happy this list is helpful!

[@Gotham_City_collectibles]

Great list of things to do to make some extra cash. Unfortunately I wish there was a list of jobs that blind people could do. It's very hard as a blind person to find a job. We especially need some extra cash around the holidays and things cuz it's hard to live and help out others when you only make $880 a month. And that has to include your living situation your hygiene items and whatever else you may need to live a normal life. These are all great items and ideas for many people to try and make a extra income. Thank you

[@ginaperkins1088]

I totally agree with you. I am legally blind in one eye and totally blind in the other and I have mild spacity in my right side (the side that has no vision). I'm in the same boat.

[@Gotham_City_collectibles]

@@ginaperkins1088 I'm very sorry to hear about your condition. It is a struggle. I myself have diabetic retinopathy. Both of my retinas have died and are detached from the eye. I can barely see shadows. Mostly I just see light and dark. I wish there was more for people like us to live better lives. I hope the best for you and prayers go out to you

[@kellyshomemadekitchen]

I quit my job three years ago to run a made from scratch bakery out of my kitchen. Selling pies, cakes, etc at Farmers Mkts has been a GREAT source of revenue. I set up at 3 different ones per week during the season and make anywhere from $100-$300 at each one. During winter months, I get bombarded w/special orders for the holidays as well as birthday and wedding cakes. I don’t charge for delivery. And I love it!!

[@meldiyer3904]

Be careful with busking, my side hustle is music so I do a lot of busking and you're right, I've had a lot of people hire me for private parties and playing at bars, plus... I make probably about $60-$80/hr busking BUT some places have "busking laws" so... do your research before you just set and up and start performing 😀

[@paulesterline5714]

I am a professional magician, have been for 50 years. Busking is NOT easy. First if you don't have permission you can be ticketed, fined or even arrested. Places where busking is famous (Key West Florida for example) you have to go to an audition. Set up anyways and you will see the inside of the Key West jail. Also you run the risk of "ticking off" another performer that works the spot/ corner. (I had that happen in New Orleans, I was there as a tourist, but the performer i was talking to was adamant that it was "his" town!)There may be places that you don't need permits or permission, but I never found one. I never tried in Europe, or New York, or California just to name a few hot spots. I did try Key West, parts of Michigan along the lake. And some random spots that often worked out in getting permission to perform. Unless you have permission you can get a big fat ticket that if you are watching this because you need extra $ a fat fine will not help in the least. One last thing. I have traveled all over the world performing on big stages for huge companies (Sands casino, Disney parks. 6 Flags. Etc...) I am very good at what I do. My point in telling you that I am good is because unless I was paid to busk (yes some places will pay you to busk) I rarely made much in tips. Maybe I am better on stage, maybe I don't know how to work that crowd. IDK. I do know it was like pulling teeth to get tips in the hat. And the last act I always did at a busking event used money borrowed from the audience. Just trying to help my fellow performers. Oh another great place to "busk" is Renaissance fairs. They are hard to get into. You have to audition (do NOT just show up and start doing your show, you will get thrown out FAST!) but they pay you, you get tips and that crowd seems to be used to tipping the performers. Oh you also need to have a show that is appropriate for the Renaissance time period. Good luck!

Instead of fixing the economy. Let's do side gigs and hustles! So we can continue to think it's okay that milk is 7!

[@RainyDayz1991]

We need the side hustles to make extra cash while we're waiting for 2024 and hopefully a president who will begin to fix the economy LOL.

[@garyforsythe4868]

Hawaii is the highest price for a gallon of milk as of August 2022 @ $4.69. There are 10 states that pay over $3 a gallon. I'm not a mathematician but I believe that leaves 40 states where it's under $3 a gallon. May I suggest you either research your propaganda, wait for your change from the $7 you paid with,or stop trying to pay in ruples?

[@tylerobrian325]

Where I live most jobs only pay $7 h. No one wants to spend an hour moving concrete for a gal. Of milk. Or work a full day so they can buy gas to go to work so they can move concrete.

[@ladykoiwolfe]

@@garyforsythe4868 if you need Lactaid or non dairy milk the price is higher. Still, my Lactose free milk (Lactaid, specifically) varies in price from $5.50 to $7. It may be higher at places I haven't been. And that's just one tiny corner of my state. The lowest price I could find used to be $4.50, but the past few years have been rough.

I want you know to Mike I still watch your older videos that I haven’t seen. With a think his name is Justin? And there was a two-part serious. You did run all the states in America and you found haunted places for each one that was. Pretty cool. Maybe if you could do another one of the states have all our haunted places I know Massachusetts Worcester. There is an old revolutionary war graveyard that they just abandoned and now it’s just some woods! I don’t know why they would disrespect to the graveyard and just not check on the graves anymore the slab the trees foliage should take over. I am in the good bunch of times with friends and there were times when we just felt like temperature drop really quickly. and have heard some strange things. It’s called Spider Gates. Because the place is full of spiders near the entrance. It is definitely a great place to do some ghost hunting. I don’t even think it’s owned by anyone anymore so there wouldn’t be any legal problems just bring maybe some listening devices cameras from my studio that have infrared in line and all that good stuff maybe you could use it in one of your videos?

about tipping.. Sometimes seems hard when you consider there is already a 30% upcharge on the service and a delivery fee. I know its not the drivers fault but do I really need to pay 50% more to get food delivered? I just hope the delivery fee makes it to the driver.

[@laurakibben4147]

So to please them, he celebrates bold both. When I met him at a job when he was 17 I was a meat cutter, making my way through Pre Med. Then join the military and learned how to be a doctor and later resurging and medical researcher. I’ve been in the military for about three decades and counting. But back when I worked with him in the meat department supermarket, his manager got a little upset because he was taking all these Jewish holidays off because his aunts wanted him to. And then he also celebrated Christmas he Our boss got a little upset, knowing he wasn’t a practicing Jew and celebrated Christmas, but he needed all of your lives holidays lol. Well.
