The pattern I see with most side hustles is a low barrier to entry which means TONS of competition.

[@GK-gc9cv]

Yep the more skill and higher barriers to entry the higher chance of success

[@SeattlePioneer]

Depends entirely on what you choose to do. I moonlighted from my job as a utility repairman by operating my own gas appliance repair business. There was competition, but you had to have the skills to do the job to fix furnaces, gas fireplaces and such.

[@moneycessity]

Good point. Also, having those prerequisite skills added to the barrier to entry in your situation. @@SeattlePioneer

[@jarodnewman5535]

@@SeattlePioneer Running a gas appliance repair business is extremely far from a low barrier to entry side hustle. The one's talked about as being low-barrier to entry would be: online dropshipping, copywriting, making youtube videos. Those kinds of things rarely ever make people money because there is so much competition, anyone can make a shopify account and sell chinese crap on some premade website.

I've been full time on Ebay since the beginning of 2020, after starting it as a side hustle in 2017. It's definitely not "get rich quick". Heck, it's not even "get rich" for most of us, but I do enjoy it and I do make a comfortable lower middle class income with it. It is scary knowing that my account could be banned at any time for any number of unknown reasons, but it works for me given the position I am in life right now. I've been self-employed for so long that I don't really have any "work experience" and nobody cares about my business degree from 1999. I'm "over qualified" for the low paying jobs and "not a proven commodity" for the high paying ones. I guess I'm where I'm supposed to be!

And if they don't like you for some even minor reason they will ban you. And their customer service has become so bad! Their web page formating stinks, hard to use etc.

For a service based side hustle in retirement I considered contract draughting in mechanical engineering, my prior career. Until I saw the incredibly low rates accepted from engineers in the developing world. they seemed like constant loss leaders just to get work. The choice of cad software was key as was the confidentiallty and ownership of client designs and drawings were a portfolio on line could break an agreement. All potentially litigious if your not careful. Informative video.

[@Techreux]

Nice job on the video. Clear, concise, SHORT, and spot on. The thing that kills me are the "passive income" bunch. I think my favorite story was a coworker told me about her daughter wanting to "borrow" $10.000 to open a franchise. Mom asks her: "how are you going to find the TIME to work there?" The girl replied," Ohhh, I wouldn't work, i'd hire others to do the work, and just collect the profit" !! Yikes. I still have a side hustle that still exists after around 38 years. Not only did it pay for all my tools and equipment in the early days, but having paid off gear 20 years later saves on all kinds of costs (notice I didn't make the mistake of saying, "PURE profit"), and even my employers I worked for full time used my products and services.. and the regular job kept us sheltered, fed, comfortable, and avoiding debt all the way.

Good luck! Be looking for opportunities always! Even now. Success occurs when opportunity meets preparedness and and hard work. Unless you inherit wealth, there is no easy way to accumulate it without a lot of hard work - the government sees to that. As a now socialist/totalitarion entity of their own, the government has to work hard to kill the American dream. The reason? A successful , well off financially populous is very difficult to control!!

I've been an eBay seller since 2013. I had a small engine repair shop and used ebay as a way of selling used engines and parts. It worked, from 2016 to 2019 I was rolling in $60k profits from eBay. Profit margins per hour were higher than the repair business itself that I used eBay to supplement. This is where I made the mistake, I went all in on selling parts online. I knew eBay could rip the rug out from under me anytime and I decided to try building my own website. The design and publishing was easy, and having a whole online parts store on you own website sounds nice but it's alot of work and the SEO is a neverending task. In the end it was not worth saving the 10% in eBay seller fees. I still put small numbers of hours a week into eBay and it's worth my time, keeping it as a backup in case I lose my regular job.

I long ago learned that third world countries will give you dirt cheap product mfg, but the quality and reliability usually suck on the finished product. It is very slowly getting a little better but never throw caution to the wind!! If you are going to use one of these country's factories on a regular basic you need to have "boots on the ground" engineer there for quality control, or they will cut corners really badly every way they can to save or make a quick buck, Many of their mfg facilities aren;t safe, deplorable working conditions, and many treat their employees badly. Americans don't know how easy we really have it. But low cost mfg is king and high profits are king and that is why they have all the world's business now, and America has very little mfg ability anymore.

[@SeattlePioneer]

[@LAH92]

@SeattlePioneer from my experience... buying in samples from factories that you never been to, never looked the owners in the eyes, never looked at the working conditions of workers there is a bigger risk and a bigger expense... long story short, I had potential with 5 manufacturers, and to send me 3 samples from each factory would have cost me over $7k... I went to India, met 9 manufacturers, got more insight than buying samples could ever give me and its the best thing I've ever done, met a supplier who felt like a met before, got the trust, the workmanship it's great!! This cost me just under $4k. So it wasn't an expense at all, it's an investment If you buy samples they are mint, but buy in bulk they are crap reason I don't work with my old manufacturer anymore.

Real estate worked for me due to low scale implementation. In 2012, I bought the largest house I could swing when the market was most favorable. I then rented out the extra rooms. I still work full time, but I have that extra income to make bills w/o stress. I am hoping that the market will again become favorable so I can parlay the equity into a second home with multiple rooms.

I would rather invest high quality stocks and collect dividends. Passive income means passive and not active. Active income is just another form of job. Warren Buffett said go long term and do slow, steady, smooth yourself into profits.😂

[@me-myself-i787]

Issue with passive income is, it requires a lot of upfront money for not a lot of income. E.g. if you invest $100,000 into the stock market at a 7% annual return, you will make only $7,000 per year. Making real money requires work.

[@zephfyre5167]

Passive income means it has to be active at the early stages. Only when it gains steady growth that you can call it "passive".

[@exposingproxystalkingorgan4164]

@@zephfyre5167 Of course passive income takes time to gain momentum. The problem is that most people have no patience, discipline, or focus to delay gratification for end profits. They want everything now and end up in debt for decades. Their lack of financial knowledge means these wage slaves/consumer zombies lose their money and some of that will come to me as dividends because I am not mindlessly consuming.

[@hippomancy]

two lessons; one clear, one unstated. side-hustles are either scams or an insane amount of hustle is the clear one. the unstated is that a successful hustle has to be a passion-project so that the amount of effort and patience required will be natural. the greatest successes are people either obsessive-compulsive about their income often to denigration of social life, or people chasing the dream they cannot put down...

As a kid, 'lowskilled side hustle' was great money! In the 90s, that's where I got my spending money before I was old enough to take a summer job. I was mowing lawns, raking leaves, or shoveling snow depending on the season. It actually demolished the hourly rate of any low skilled job around. It was easy to spot possible customers... you know you just look for the lawns with tall grass, leaves, or a driveway covered in snow. I hated knocking on doors, but the success rate as a kid was great. I'd say it came out to about $20/hour which was phenomenal in the 90s, often with drinks and snacks offered as a bonus, and sometimes unexpected tips. Of course, once you've exhausted the customer base, you couldn't do more, and there were other kids working that hustle to. I'm not sure how that'd do today, but I'd definitely pay well to get leaves raked. Raking leaves isn't so easy when you're higher from the ground, and finding someone to do it is actually rather difficult. I haven't had any kids knocking on my door looking to do work in all these years. I don't know if it's just the area or kids or kids just don't do yard work in this era. As a teenager, I felt more awkward knocking on doors, so I quit doing that, plus I had summer job money. I did pick up another side hustle doing tech support, which I really just got pulled into after helping one neighbor. Word of mouth got me a couple dozen requests over a couple years to setup routers, install PC components, or get something working that wasn't. I never even set a price for that, but people were so happy to get help they paid very well. Maybe I should have leaned into that more! The marketing job pyramid scheme thing is absolutely horrible and predatory. I'm glad I know to stay away from that. From age 16 up I was getting stuff in the mail offering 'jobs' like that. They were disguised as legitimate jobs and used very tricky language to try and hide the intent. One I remember most was from some company called Vector Marketing, but the logo would leave out the 'Marketing' part and the flyer made it sound like a vaguely tech oriented job. My mom though it was a legitimate internship offer in the tech industry. I knew from the language it had to be a trick, as it didn't actually mention what any of the jobs were. A little bit of internet searching revealed it was selling cutlery. I think they were somehow scraping some of the school vocational data which was often getting sent to third parties for various reasons and likely got resold to scum like Vector. They were aggressively trying to recruit anyone of working age too young to know better.

Another side hustle would be lawncare every spring I see new faces, but soon as it gets hot they disappear and it’s just the same guys year after year.

Lmao imagine doing that pleb work when a drug dealer would pay you ten times more for just doing deliveries

[@richiekock8835]

Thanks for your video. I have purchased a condo that has become 50% of my income by renting it out to guests.

Real Estate - Reits and a variety of real estate fractional or shared investment also exist as alternative to traditional buy/rent/resell. Not quite as useful from a control-big-value perspective but something to consider versus not doing anything in real estate at all.

[@Dbb27]

I would never invest in a REIT. You have no control over what happens or decisions being made. Buy a multi family then save for the next one. That’s how I built up my property ownership. Single family homes are very risky vs a duplex or triplex. I always have income coming in from at least one unit.

Thank you for this

Good Lord, Mark. A couple of those take me back quite a few years. I was frightened so I didn't do them. As the years unfolded, every day trader I knew had gone broke and moved on. All but one friend with rentals had sold out and moved on. For a person like me, those were terrible ideas. I would have failed. Sometimes, fear is your friend. The best item here is the last. I've been watching your channel for ages. You have been quite open about your collaborations with your son. I think that brings a lot of energy to your process that might go undetected. That and having something to say make all the difference. My little suggestion to anyone who wants to give KZbin a go: Try posting consistent YT content about anything you actually love. By consistent, I mean at least twice a week, every week, for a year. Or twice a month if the videos are long and complicated.

Although starting a business with a MLM is more about growing your own sales team, all the motivation and training provided by these companies leave you more than ready with the right mindset to start your own business, it's more like starting with someone else's products and brand and then you can jump onto something that you believe will provide value to others. I think it's a good started point, many find it too much of a hustle but there are tons of people making money that way while others are just booing around.

Mark, Tax crucifies anyone trying to make it these days. Work all day and night to give nearly half of it to the Government. If anyone wants to become rich you need to avoid (legally) paying tax.

[@BAR0N48]

hey mark, iv gotr a question What side hustles would you recommend to start for somone that is trying to start an online buisness but with little expierence

[@SidcupRC]

Hi Mark, a bit random, but have you thought about getting back into Tamiya, as a hobby? I've found revisiting my RC roots very rewarding. Cheers

[@SifisoDube-bx2zi]

Greetings Mark, I'd like to ask the best platforms where I can invest in index funds as a beginner in Ireland..

[@NicKennelty]

I’ll admit. Mlm’s are crazy hard. But I did personally strike some luck with working one. I worked so much selling the product then started traveling and before I knew it I was in the brochures for the company. Went across the U.S doing it. Ultimately was a great learning experience. And a stroke of luck.

[@accuratealloys]

MLMs are extremely unethical.

[@OmahaTonyG]

It’s funny because I’m a real estate investor and I do KZbin. I will say that neither made me much money until I was a few years in. Now I make $500-600 a month on KZbin and I’ve made millions in real estate.

Great points re service based business

[@TheMoneyChannel.]

Great video

[@kurtnelle]

All of these seem legit. I did the day trading thing as well, but after I had a single loss wipe out weeks of profit (but not into a total loss for me) I began to wonder "Is this what the other guy feels on the other side of these transactions?" Needles to day I'm to empathetic for the stock market. 😂

[@oxcsymbol8631]

You needed to sell and buy back in , dont give ip I wouldnt listen to this guy

[@wanderingtravellerAB99]

Almost every trader loses money. Beating the market is at best extremely difficult, and most think impossible. Getting lucky for a few weeks is meaningless in the typical volatile equity market. Most Wall Street active traders are just as bad, and the have armies of phds and high speed connections to exchanges. You and the average Joe have no chance of beating them, and they’re rubbish.

[@sirguy6678]

Excellent video! A side hustle is often just a nice name for another job

[@shubylooby7227]

But in DROPSHIPPING what if you test the product quality beforehand and have your own inventory which you send to a warehouse ( I know then it not really dropshipping but you can do this to scale once people start buying a lot)

[@marktilbury]

Hi, 100% correct, if you stock the product user you’re own label then you are building a business. Fantastic I wish you all the best. MT 😎

[@chimbudu]

Doing KZbin is not at all bad. It is one of the best platform. Yes it it will take time but it's worth the time. It depends on the niche, cpm etc.

[@marktilbury]

100% agree, please watch the full video :) MT

[@zuser12345]

Mark nails it. No such thing as fast and easy money. Overnight success takes 15-20 years

The one real estate thing that I feel like is a good investment is commercial. I have been considering to buy a newer school campus that went under. With around 15k sqft of classrooms and such, also being less than a 1/4 mile from a community college, I could provide more study space and experiment spaces. I could make it an incubator. I could start my Custom PC and IT service company. I would have to come up with a ton of promissory contracts and then find an investor for about $2mil. Not likely but a cool idea

[@leahweinberger583]

Very likely with a good plan and model. Investors invest, that's what they do. Position yourself attractively and try.

[@FLOODOFSINS]

Your side business is to tell people how to do their own side business while telling people you have multiple millions of dollars in businesses while using all of your time making KZbin videos. This makes total sense😂

Another banger

My sister was caught up in #4. She did property record transcription for companies that marketed the data. I even got involved for a while. What went sour? Computers. As more and more courthouses went to computers and enabled online access, the fee paid per record dropped because it wasn’t required to go in person to manually go through the books. I told my sister to get out when I was forced to get a regular 9 to 5 job. In time, the company that employed her fired her and everyone else for a bogus claim of getting incorrect records. In truth, they simply hired new people who would do the job for less money. Anything that can be done via computer online can be done any anyone who can underprice you.
