LEGAL HustLEs to GEt You PAid!

Party/Event Promoter

If you enjoy the nightlife, partnering with clubs and venues to promote parties and events might be the hustle for you. The key is to get a good legion of followers for your events. There’s a lot of money to be made, but it takes a lot of work. Who said hustling would be easy? Be prepared though. You don’t want to mess up your name and credibility before you get to build it.

Party/Event Services

There’s potential to make money in party and event services by providing anything and everything from candy stations to service staff like servers, bartenders, and coat check. It may take some time to book your first job, but networking, passing out business cards, and talking about what you can provide can go a long way in getting you started.

Recycling

No, you won’t get rich by doing it, but recycling is a good way to make a little extra cash. You don’t necessarily have to run around collecting aluminum cans from the trash (which pays on weight, and the current price of aluminum), but there is cash to be made in recycling all types of things, from clothing and furniture to electronics like cell phones and laptops. If you have access to a computer, do a recycling search on Earth911.com to find local recycling options, or search online for webbased recycling options that pay.

Selling Edibles

Make a great homemade salsa? Do you make the cutest cupcakes? If you’re a good cook, selling food might be an option for you. Start by asking friends, co-workers, or ask your friends to ask their friends or co-workers to get you started. Depending on how you do it, some licenses and insurance may be required to do a bit of research so that you can keep it legit.

Cleaning Services

Most people don’t enjoy cleaning, but if you don’t mind getting rid of someone else’s grime (and yes, I know that rhymed. Feel free to use it on your business card!) then cleaning services may be something for you. Find an area you want to specialize in like cleaning foreclosed homes, cleaning out rental properties, cleaning and organizing garages, or making windows shine from the inside out and start promoting your services.

Whether you’re looking for a way to make more money, a new way to make a living, or just need a side hustle, here are 10 legit ways to almost immediately start putting money in your pocket.

Landscaping Services Consignment Used Car Sales

As a service business, landscaping is one of the hustles you can start with little to no money. You need to know what you’re doing, do a good job, and get a few basic tools, but building clientele can be as simple as knocking on a few doors in your neighborhood. Consignment is basically a form of recycling. Selling used and unwanted clothes and accessories can be a good way to put money in your pocket. You can make anything from a few bucks to thousands of dollars, depending on how you do it. Find local consignment shops and gather unwelcome items from your friends and family and get started. Technically, we’re talking about flipping cars— buying and selling for a quick profit. This hustle is a little bit riskier. You’re taking a gamble anytime you purchase a used car, so ideally you should know about cars and maybe even be able to make minor repairs yourself. You’re required to pay sales tax and take care of paperwork like titles and bill of sales and we suggest you learn as much as you can before jumping into it.

Blogging

Making money by blogging takes time. You have to work really hard on your blog and have a high number of steady, or increasing, readership to attract advertisers. That’s where the money comes in. If done right, you can not only make money, you can make a life and live off of income received from your blog. It has to be interesting to keep people coming back, but if you can pull it off, it can be a lucrative hustle.

Consulting

If there’s an area that you consider your strength, yet others may have a hard time with for themselves, you could possible make money providing your professional expertise as a consultant. In addition to your expertise, the second thing you need is clients. Consulting is such a broad area that you could literally consult on everything from starting a garden to starting a business. Figure out what you’re good at, use it to help others and there you go!
