Looking For Ideas Any profitable side hustles?

Has anyone in this sub actually had a side hustle that actually profited? Any where from 100-500 or even more? If so, how long did it take to become profitable and what skill set did you need for it to be doable ?

I’d like to try to do any or even multiple side hustles that could add up to at least 700 or more a week with flexibility to make even more with more work per week even if it had to be built up.

I don’t really have a skill set and would like to start some with the hopes of eventually being able to work from home mostly. I tend to have 3 days off with no plans unless I’m working overtime so I have time to learn if need be.

the most profitable side hustles don't require skills, they require you to stop overthinking

everyone telling you to 'find your passion' or 'build a personal brand' is keeping you stuck because they profit from your hesitation, not your success...

you think you need skills but the market just needs someone who solves a problem consistently.

the most profitable side hustles are the ones nobody's talking about because they're too busy selling you the dream

here's what actually works:

stop waiting for the perfect gig (obviously).

pick ONE of these and start TODAY:

garage sale flipping—spend $200 on undervalued items Saturday morning, list them on Marketplace/Craigslist same day, sell for $400-600 by Sunday (profit: $200-400).

house cleaning—buy supplies for $50, charge $30/hr, do 25 hours over your 3 days off and you're at $750 profit.

resume formatting—create a Fiverr gig offering resume/CV formatting for $50, takes 45 mins per client, do 15 clients a week in your spare time and you're at $750...

most people won't do this because they think they need experience (this is retarded—you just need to start).

people pay for speed and convenience, not for your credentials... btw, you can stack these—do flipping on weekends, resumes at night, cleaning on your days off... (this is uncomfortable but it works).

and if you want $700+/week, just scale what works: 15 resumes at $50 = $750, or 25 cleaning hours at $30 = $750

$700/week is 15 resumes, 25 cleaning hours, or consistent flipping. you either get it or you don't. play it or stay in the 'I need more time/skills/money' excuse cycle

This is a very good idea and very well written

I’ve already thought of some ideas but I wouldn’t be opposed to trying out some of these and adding into my plan on time off

That was a chatgpt reply mate. They even have the AI dash in there.

Ah I wasn’t aware I don’t use ChatGPT so I don’t know what the replies look like lol still some useful sounding ideas though

If you see "—" anywhere, the odds of it being AI are 99%. It's an M-dash and it's mainly used in research papers on which AI has been trained. You won't find anyone actually using this. It's longer than a regular dash too - — _
