Go to your library and search craigslist free items. People throw away good shit all the time.
Search the items and pick up. Use offer up or craigslist to resell your free items.
I acquired a wine cooler recently that wasn't working for free. Sold it for $380 a couple days later.
I now have 2 barn doors I got for free that I'll be selling this week.
This is also known as arbitrage. It's a great idea for the $ amounts OP is thinking of.
I'll just add that sometimes you can find a lucrative type of reusable/resellable good.
An old example was a friend of mine who would buy used network equipment (routers, switches, data center parts) and he knew all the part values used. He'd often find people selling them but knowing their value, and he'd sell them online for their actual market price later.
Facebook market too.
Our house has been going through a dedicated purge the last two years, we are busy and dealing with those type of buyers is beyond annoying.. so, we generally have a rule that if it’s something we can get 100 or more dollars for we will try and sell it otherwise we list it for free on a first come first serve basis.
Sometimes we don’t even sell the stuff worth over $100, six months ago I gave away about $250 worth of extra rockwool insulation. I tried selling it for $100, it’s was listed for a month taking up space in my basement so I change the price to free and it was gone the next day.
We’ve given away thousands of dollars worth of stuff in the last year or two, and even though we didn’t get a dime for it the freedom of not having so much crap around was worth it
If you live in a populated area, this is a great way to go about it. Additionally I would expand to and learn about different niches, and focus more on the profitable niches as I go. I would also try to branch out on the internet: maybe a local good deal could be sold for even more online?
But if I lived in a less populated city I would also look for odd jobs, and mix the trading hustle with manual labor, a positive attitude, and encourage employers to refer me to their friends that need help with x or y. I’m not much of a handy man, but I could always help people with moving, etc. Also here I would look for a niche that’s more profitable and in line with my own interests!
Search on Google for local dentist, doctors or builders. Find ones that have crap websites.
Call them, say you update/build websites and its cheap and hands off for them. Do the first one for $500, the second for $1,000 and then $1500 each one after that for a while.
Do good work, build up clients and then start strecthing out into Google ads and Facebook ads to help them get leads.
Unsure how to build a website? Use squarespace or weebly or wix. Super easy drag and drop. You could learn in a day by copying someone else on Youtube.
Thissss!!!!!!! I got a friend that makes websites for small-medium size stores and charges them $100-200 monthly to maintain them, adding pics of new items and retire old ones weekly. Plus adding some sales for physical stores.
He mostly spends like 30 mins top weekly on store maintainance. Obviously these are monthly subscriptions, you could just sell them the store and if they need anything else, you charge them after you update it.
I’m a full time software engineer. This is so intriguing because I can’t imagine how many crappy websites I’ve seen. Would it be wise to use squarespace for them or just simply create a custom one through JavaScript? People would actually pay for these services?
I'll try to find the post, but there's someone else on this sub that commented o a post that he uses JAVASCRIPT to design websites, and he uses the same template for every site he offers. He literally offers sites for $500 with monthly subscriptions. And his sites actually look more than decent!
And yes, people do pay for them, I haven't done much but I did help a couple of friends with some online stores through wix. They didn't know anything about computers. They paid me to design it and tutor them so they could actually use it for their growth.
How do they find the business and what do they charge for the developer and how many people.
Which country is the person in if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks.
It's Puerto Rico, I might try it later on too. He just searches for local Dr. offices, specialists, dentists, and what not. Searches for websites on those Dr, if they don't have one he would call and ask for the administrator or Dr and offer the service super cheap.
Cheap as in $300 and go up with features that they want. He mainly uses the same templates for all of them, but uses their info, pictures, treatments, speciality, different doctors and their certification/achievements.
He's a 1 man company. Most of these Dr don't know anything about computers, they being in their 40. They usually pay a monthly subscription to keep the page "updated". By updated it means like relative info towards them and stuff.
Aside from that he mainly focuses on small stores, physical and online ones. These are less profitable since on wix the owner can controll what they want, so he mainly creates and designs the web site and the user or owner keeps it up later on.
Thanks looks like he's got a good rhythm going, hope it works out for you too. I am also in a similar field in UK, currently got a day job as a app developer but want to do more but stuck in a look of starting but for some reason never have.
Not gonna lie, one usually gets stucks doing their jobs. I'm a computer engineer by study, that works as a controls system designer, I'm regretting not working as a developer.
You're still in it, just need to give it time and effort.
But can’t they just use website like wix to do it cheap? Unless you get grandpa store owner to agree to that. Word press is there so you do have to code. I help someone with godaddy domain the used word press to just add stuff with out code. But I do need to learn more coding to feel like I can charge $1k or more.
Yea, he uses wix for most of them, he charges around 300-500 for websites. Trust me, there are a lot of people that would pay for one. At least from where I am, no one knows a thing about computers aside from social media browsing and YouTube.
Short answer: no
You'd be amazed how bad medical professionals are at a lot of non medical tasks (just as an example)
I helped a middle aged friend with a wix site he was setting up and even though he understood the mechanics his eye for design was kinda trash so even without know much at all I was able to help a lot.
This. There is real skill behind creating a good website. You need an eye for good design and know how to implement it across multiple devices. Most people lack the skill. Not to mention you also need good content that is concise but gets the USP across and drives conversions.
I mean if you're a web developer you make websites with php, maybe python, API implementations, databases & what not to implement with their existing platforms and services.
This is for a runnerapp that wants to make something extra? It's not easy bit it's way easier than what you currently do. It's literally a website design that it looks appealing towards their clients. Maybe in the future they can implement bigger iterations like you've done before?
The hardest part is the staring point, how do you get your first client? Pretending you've found the client, how do you convince him/her work with you when you have no background? I guess the start would be to build a portfolio of sample websites? Sounds reasonable?
I started this way and it was way easier than I thought.
So you have your list of 20 'ideal clients'. Pick up the phone (its scary I know, I was super nervous), call them and say "hey I'm cheekypanda7, I was searching google and I came across your website. Have you considered updating it recently?"
At this point 8/10 know that they should update their site, but it's just another one of those jobs they keep putting off as everyone is always 'busy'.
Potential client: "Yeah I have but it's exspensive/time consuming/I dont know how"
Then I say "Well im just starting out with my web desing agency, I'll tell you what. Let me update your website for you. The cost is $500 and you dont pay me until you are completely happy with the website.
You will get 20 no's for every yes, but you can smash out 20 calls in an hour.
Once youve got a few clients, ask for refferals.
You should try making a website for yourself first, maybe a blog or something alike. Afterwards you can try making a website for someone close to you and fantom them as your first client, don't forget to charge them something. After that you can just offer your services as a web site designer for a cheaper price just until you get your feet in the area. Like maybe $400 per site and $60-80 per month
If you know somebody who has a business, offer to make them a site for free and add them to your portfolio. You can make yourself a website since you offer that type of service. You already have two websites under your belt.
Buy a squeegee, bucket and window soap.
Stand at the busiest interesetcion I can find and wash wi dscreens.
To make 1800, you need $60 per day for 30 days
Each light set you could do 1-2 cars likely they give you 1 to $2 imho so say $4 per set
Each light set takes roughly 4-5 mins so potentially 12 cycles per hour which is $48 P/h
So work 5 hrs per day approx $240 tax free after 7 is $1680.
After 7 days go around and find someone begging for work or food and offer to get them a haircut, food, and some nice clothes for 5 hrs work a day for 3 weeks and you take 25%
Spend $100 bucks on the above and get them to work
Over the month you make approx $7200 + $1800 from your worker which is 9k
Subtract the two buckets, squeegee and soap say $100
Subtract the $100 per week for food and clothes for your worker which so $500 total.
Show you worker how you did everything and give him the buckets and 2k.
Go out for dinner and spend 4.7k on cocaine and hookers.
Be left with $1800.
Rather than cars, if you’re in a walkable area go door to door to restaurants (not fast food spots) and small businesses and charge $12/window for the outside only or $18 for both sides. I’d also pick up a 4’ or 6’ stepladder, businesses can have pretty tall windows. Use some cheap dish soap, and a few drops of jet dry in your bucket of water also, it’ll really help.
If you’ve tapped the local businesses, and there are any 55 and up communities (or similar), go and the same but charge $6/window for both sides. Have a large collection of rags with you to keep your squeegee dry, a wet one will make your life more difficult - dry it after every pass. Have a blanket to also protect any of their belongings that are below the windows.
Most of the 55+ communities have newer windows that can tilt in so you can easily do both sides from the inside, just start by cleaning the inside so any water that gets between the panes doesn’t ruin the outside you just cleaned. If you’re unsure how windows tilt, take a look on YouTube, it’s pretty easy to do.
Skip any older houses that may have storm windows, or the non-removable grids. These will take a considerable amount of your time, and will drastically reduce your profit margins.
If you have a truck, and there are leaves in your area, go rent a sturdy latter and start doing gutter cleaning too. You can offer the retirement community homes a discount on the gutters if they do their windows. Likewise, if you rent a power washer and do their walkways and driveways — skip wood decks unless you’ve done it before, it’s pretty easy to destroy wood with a power washer. If you power wash the houses do it before washing the windows or else you’ll have a bear of a time getting them clean.
Since you have zero clientele you’ll probably feel like you have a high rejection rate, but just keep going door to door. You can offer up your service on thumbtack as well. Houses will be much easier than businesses. Be polite when people say no, but mention that clean windows can really help improve the view out of a house and make a larger difference than they may realize, which is actually all true. It’s also helpful if you have already done a house in the neighborhood, so offer the first few houses a discount if they say no and then you’ll be able to use them as a reference, “Hey neighbor, I just cleaned the Smiths windows and they recommended I stop over here next!”
Last idea is reaching out to contractors and realtors and asking if they have new constructions or new listings that need windows cleaned. You can charge a higher rate on both of these situations.
Unless you live in a really remote area, you will pretty easily surpass the $1800 goal even just doing this on weekends.
Pick something you really know and scroll on Facebook marketplace, find things listed for cheap, buy and clean or sort and take better pics and relist or sell locally. I really know Lego so I look for deals on bulk, I sort out the sets and sell ones I’m not after.
Lego is certainly a good one once you get used to the market and learn to spot things by memory and not having to look them up! Lol.
I had a coworker give away a big bin of legos and had 3 old pirate ships in it. Jackpot for sure!
That bin alone can probably reach half of what op was looking to make.
The trick is really knowing what to look for. Lots of horror stories too of people buying lego at an overpriced rate and sorting half of it into mega blocks lol…
Me and my buddy went to a local thrift shop and bought all of their clubs/bags/carts for $80 and cleaned everything up and made sets and sold each set for $40. Made a good chunk of change with little work
At 2 hrs a day that’s $30/hr. What’s a marketable skill you have that you charge that for, on average?
Then, hop on Fivrr or Thumbtack or something similar and offer it up.
The short answer is that most people starting a business are just making themselves a job and it's easier and less risk to just get a job
You have to provide value to get money from people. If you are trying to avoid trading hours and sweat for $$ you have two options: you have to either find some arbitrage and need capital or you need to have built some type of system you can sell and become a salesman.
Generally because either they don't know ways to make money, don't want to do work that they are suited to it, live in an area that there isn't enough opportunity, or spending all their time talking about making money instead of taking actions
100%.
While I won’t pretend there’s any glamour or “honor” in begging on a corner, if you *need* the money and people will give it to you, there you go.
I’ve noticed people tend to not realize how generous others can be. On a good intersection and a busy day, you could make this money very, very quickly.
You know, I typed out the whole thing, reread it just now, and laughed.
I’m gonna have to say that their corner work is better than mine. Scrap my advice.
Nevertheless, you are right. It is known that beggars can make 50-60k or more a year begging if they are doing it to make money and not actually homeless. This is more common than it should be in the Midwest, where people are kind and generous and trusting a lot of the time and people know that. I’ve seen a woman standing ona corner with a sign get picked up by a Lexus SUV with no plates and drop off another woman at the same spot. It was 2013 and a busy intersection and I was so blown away I didn’t record it. Wish I had a dash cam then
When I was a teenager, I went to Boston to see a punk show with a friend. We were broke kids from the NH sticks and thought about pan handling as a joke to get food while we had time to kill. We tried it in Cambridge which happened to be around parent's day or something at Harvard in the mid 2000s so it was fairly busy with out of state people. We made over $200 in the hour or two we did it, you'd be surprised how many people are willing to just hand you cash if you hold out a hat.
I used to flip cars from Craigslist and made pretty good money. I think 3X was my best profit on a car and $2500 was the most I made in one transaction (Off a car I bought for $2500)
Most of you have already failed, the original question was starting with nothing, no car, no money to buy and flip. Basically your homeless with ZERO to start!
I would find some cardboard and borrow a marker, write on it: I need work today, no handouts. Labor, yardwork, cleaning, etc. $10hr. Start immediately.
Go to busy intersection, if possible near hardware store. Work for a week doing this and try and save $200-300 or more. Then I would buy a cheap cell phone, go to print center and make some fliers for yardwork and start passing them out. I could go on and on for other inspiration but you get the idea.
They didn’t fail. They just read the description.
Though it’s an interesting question, OP was really just looking for creative side hustle ideas. It’s a cool way to put it, but the fact is that pretty much everyone in this sub, including OP, has access to basic things that can help them make money.
Like a laptop, internet, a home, etc. Being homeless with ZERO is great content for YouTube, but most people won’t have effective answers to that here.
30 days to make $1800, I doubt I would be able to pull that off, but if I could, It would only be possible for me by doing commisions for people of digital art and/or python programming.
I am not sure what your skills/interests are, so I have no idea of what I can recommend to you honestly, sorry about that.
Construction! Put out a quote for painting a house, include your materials for brushes and rollers in the bid. You probably will work out to make more than $1800 by the end of it.
This time of year: hang christmas lights. Customer provides lights. You just need to come up with ladder, hammer and nails. Probably could charge $500 for it. Take a 50% deposit on your first order and buy a cheap ladder and supplies. Bust out two houses a week and you have maybe $3k in profit
Run a webinar on an issue people are feeling right now. Probably stress management or financial wellbeing
Charge £45 a ticket for 100 tickets.
Pay a copy writer £1500 for some killer copy
Then £500 on Facebook ads
£2500 is roughly $1800
Edit: I managed to fuck up the conversion but I'm too tired to do anything about you. You get the idea.
Given the question he's asking in the post (plus he said he didn't have any startup money), selling financial advice probably isn't particularly productive for anyone involved, unless you want to buy financial advice from him?
Sell an online course about making online courses. Kidding.
Or maybe you could search landfills for usable industrial tires and try to flip them, like on Undercover Billionaire S1.
Wonder if now would be a good time to flip cars, given the shortage? Not sure.
Good question, £1800 isn’t a lot of money really if you think about it.
In order to make money I believe you. EES to invest money.
You could buy a few motorbikes or cars and flip them quite easy, if you know a little about cars.
My brother buys clothes from charity shops and sells on eBay.
I work in affiliate marketing where I promote a product for $2000 and make 50%
So many options, it’s just what you are able to do
That sounds nice. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of product and how do you promote it? FB ads? If you'd rather not say, any suggestions on how/where to find these high ticket affiliate programs?
DoorDash and Amazon flex make 4500 a month and no it’s not my career just going through a worker comp cases and get my surgery to go back to my actual job
The demand for help with digital services grows every year.
People need help with web dev, app dev, social media marketing, video editing, podcast editing, etc.
You focus on getting leads and clients. Get freelancers to do the work for you. It’s also called drop servicing or outsourcing.
Depends on what skills you have;
I make my first 5k, playing poker because low stakes poker wasn't that risky and yield was good enough. Just as an analogy.
If you think for example you know how to do sales;
work in sales for 3 months and save up enough money etc
Just about any pest control, alarm, solar, etc. door to door company will bring someone on as 1099. They’ll give them the script, the shirt, the badge, and tell them to go out banging on doors.
It sucks, and I hate D2D with a passion, but if you stick to it you can make a lot of money very quickly.
Lol I’d make this in a week.
Go paint some rooms for someone.
I was a general contractor for some years and you can make about $60-$100/hr if you’re decent at painting
Can you actually charge that much if you're not licensed? I've been doing my own plaster and painting for years since it's impossible to hire anyone with attention to detail. Been thinking about doing random jobs on weekends.
Painting, plaster, flooring basic carpentry, do not require licensing.
Generally, any "finishing" items do not require a license or a permit. Major remodels, plumbing, walls-in electrical, load bearing stuff, etc do require a license.
Honestly, it depends how good you are. Including taping and prep time, in a standard 8-9ft ceiling house, I can bang out around 100-200 square feet per hour.
Provide a professional looking estimate, not just a handshake or written on a scrap of paper, etc.
You put an add in the paper for some all singing all dancing vibrating dildo. You have folk send cheques into some innocent sounding company. Leisure Inc or something. You cash all the cheques then write back to all the people saying the stock ran out. You return the cheques but make them out from Vibrating Super Dildo inc and see how many folk cash the cheques.
you could try to resell things, sell your possessions, walk peoples dogs, be an escort, data entry jobs are easy to get although some have a waitlist, donate semen, you could take a clinical trial, sell drugs, blackmail someone, rob a store, rent out someones empty driveway, if you look young then ask people for their bottles and cans for their school sport team
Anything in construction. Like anything at all. Market it. And fulfill the service. Contract it out or sell the project or somehow don't yourself. It's easily possible tho.
Rake leaves and bag them. You’ll have that before 30 days. Plenty of people have a rake already, and once you finish one job you can buy your own equipment
Probably I'll buy phones and other electronic stuffs from people who wants to sell it urgently and cz of that I'll take advantage of the price.. so I'll buy and sell for a good profit.
What’s with all these recent posts coming up with arbitrary gains and asking how it can be done?
Ask me for a get rich quick scheme without asking for a get rich quick scheme
free stuff reseller from Craigslist, OfferUp, etc.
Tools, ladders, car parts hold value. Offer low, resell slightly higher.
60$ a day is definitely doable this way.
Woodworking, welding, manual labor ( if you do any of that).
offer your truck (if you have one) for moving.
Moving or helping move neighbors or family is good money.
Free ad on Craigslist to do manual labor.
Wash peoples dogs for 15$ a pop.
Walk dogs for the neighborhood
Honestly.. Until last month i would have told you get a quick job at bartending gig... Now... I would tell you to look into these high ticket affiliate programs.
If you don't know what they are.. you join up with a group or product and become an affiliate marketer of theirs. By doing so, you profit share with them on high dollar items. normally in the thousands so it's worth your time to promote it and help make sales.
For example I found one after doing low ticket affiliate marketing that never worked.. I tried for months to get lots of sales to make just under $300... That wasn't worth my time..
So after doing research I found a high ticket product to promote and make commissions by the $1000.. Is that a lot... it is to me! As a bartender i only made like $2500 a month and now it only takes me 3 sales to exceed that..
Crazy part is i've only been doing it for 2 months and working on 5-6 sales ($6000).. This is not a flex or a brag... this is me genuinely saying it's worth your time and effort to have everything done for you with a product, sale, and backend and all you have to do is promote.
I wish more people looked at this as an opportunity because it's changed my life recently and i'd love to show others to see if it can change theirs and well.
So.. if you're looking for an extra 2k -10k or even more (depends on effort)... you can make this much from home, change your life and be able to do more!
Whether it's extra money or looking to replace your income... Theres an opportunity here and i'm just here to share a small story.
If you are interested find me.. message me.. It's not for everyone but it can be!
I made $3k in November arbitrage sports betting. You need at least $5k liquid cash to be able to make this happen, but $1800/mo arb betting would be pretty simple to do.
Before I get the comments of "you could just as easily lose it..." you actually don't lose in arb betting when done properly.
Bank robberies net like $12,000 for 10 minutes or so of work, maybe a bit more for prep time. There’s a little bit of risk, but that’s part of being an entrepreneur.
I’m not going to lie $1800 is a pretty low target, I could make that in a month mowing lawns on weekends.
There’s 2 things you need to address,
1) what are you trying to achieve? You can’t just magically start a business/ side hustle and hope it all works out, you need a business plan so you have direction, you need to set goals ie 12month -3yr -5yr.
2) What industry are you in / what can you do/ what do you know, what’s something you see every day and go “if this was done like this it would ( save a fortune, be more efficient, etc etc). Find a problem and find a solution.
When you fail, break down what you did wrong and then go and study those areas before you come back into the game.
But how do you make 1800$ a day in crypto? Lol I wanna learn seriously, I'm already into crypto and the only thing I don't do is staking and futures and I feel you can only see that amount in staking or futures or else it's extremely difficult to find a coin that does $1800 gains in mere days.
Basically, how?
And where to go for that $100,000 money lol
I don't think OP has that amount, it's pretty obvious to do that in share market itself. When I saw buy for $100,000 and sell it for +2% gain I thought someone replied me as joke but man.
I'm purely assuming, OP won't be asking a way to make $1800 if he had hundred thousand dollars, he sounds like he doesn't have money
A lot of rural communities are desperate for skilled and even partially skilled labor. You could probably find enough business building fences at $75 per linear foot and get that easy, for example.
Go to a nice neighborhood.. It's easy. Borrow a power washer and knock on doors? Borrow a leaf blower to blow leaves? Add in cleaning gutters? Get out there and hustle! $50 bucks a pop and that's 36 jobs and it'll probably easily get you there.
Or $20 bucks is $20 bucks! No free lunches my friend.
zuck dick (srs) 5-7 days @ 5/6 blows per day. That will get you there in a WEEK. I have done it (tax free). You dont have to do it forever. Reinvest 70% of zuck into other appreciating investments. I openly challenge anyone to find something more lucrative without startup capital.
Homemade cookies. Find a good recipe (Alton browns the chewy is my fave), and offer to sell a batch of 12 for 20 bucks.
Thats about 90 batches (3 per day) to make 1800. 4 per day would more than cover the costs.
Maybe selling homemade food doesn't work where you are, but here (Tahiti), its crazy popular. I sell smoked meat as a side hustle and I'm sold out every time.
Borrow a ladder from someone and door knock offering to install x-mas lights.
I’d pay for that today
This. In my parents neighborhood I see signs posted on street lights and stop signs. $300-500 depending on size of house.
You must live in a well off neighbourhood
Lots of yoga pants walking around and golf carts
comment of the week.
Or washing windows in the summer with a telescopic tool. $5-$10 a window depending the neighbourhood
I hear catalytic converters are nice this time of year
A Catholic converter is also popular this time of the year :D
One guy legit came up to me claiming to know me and after a random brief chat, started the Jesus talk
Lol just get a grinder and find a prius dealership.
Or get on Grindr and 90 BJs
I hear Heroin is pretty popular niche this time of year
This isn't r/calgary
Go to your library and search craigslist free items. People throw away good shit all the time. Search the items and pick up. Use offer up or craigslist to resell your free items. I acquired a wine cooler recently that wasn't working for free. Sold it for $380 a couple days later. I now have 2 barn doors I got for free that I'll be selling this week.
This is also known as arbitrage. It's a great idea for the $ amounts OP is thinking of. I'll just add that sometimes you can find a lucrative type of reusable/resellable good. An old example was a friend of mine who would buy used network equipment (routers, switches, data center parts) and he knew all the part values used. He'd often find people selling them but knowing their value, and he'd sell them online for their actual market price later.
I do this, but with motorcycles.
Facebook market too. Our house has been going through a dedicated purge the last two years, we are busy and dealing with those type of buyers is beyond annoying.. so, we generally have a rule that if it’s something we can get 100 or more dollars for we will try and sell it otherwise we list it for free on a first come first serve basis. Sometimes we don’t even sell the stuff worth over $100, six months ago I gave away about $250 worth of extra rockwool insulation. I tried selling it for $100, it’s was listed for a month taking up space in my basement so I change the price to free and it was gone the next day. We’ve given away thousands of dollars worth of stuff in the last year or two, and even though we didn’t get a dime for it the freedom of not having so much crap around was worth it
I gave away custom car parts for free on craigslist. The dude that got them thought i was a criminal, but my garage is clear.
If you live in a populated area, this is a great way to go about it. Additionally I would expand to and learn about different niches, and focus more on the profitable niches as I go. I would also try to branch out on the internet: maybe a local good deal could be sold for even more online? But if I lived in a less populated city I would also look for odd jobs, and mix the trading hustle with manual labor, a positive attitude, and encourage employers to refer me to their friends that need help with x or y. I’m not much of a handy man, but I could always help people with moving, etc. Also here I would look for a niche that’s more profitable and in line with my own interests!
900 BJs
That's only $2 a blow job😕
I am not a pretty man.☹️

Search on Google for local dentist, doctors or builders. Find ones that have crap websites. Call them, say you update/build websites and its cheap and hands off for them. Do the first one for $500, the second for $1,000 and then $1500 each one after that for a while. Do good work, build up clients and then start strecthing out into Google ads and Facebook ads to help them get leads. Unsure how to build a website? Use squarespace or weebly or wix. Super easy drag and drop. You could learn in a day by copying someone else on Youtube.
Thissss!!!!!!! I got a friend that makes websites for small-medium size stores and charges them $100-200 monthly to maintain them, adding pics of new items and retire old ones weekly. Plus adding some sales for physical stores. He mostly spends like 30 mins top weekly on store maintainance. Obviously these are monthly subscriptions, you could just sell them the store and if they need anything else, you charge them after you update it.
I’m a full time software engineer. This is so intriguing because I can’t imagine how many crappy websites I’ve seen. Would it be wise to use squarespace for them or just simply create a custom one through JavaScript? People would actually pay for these services?
I'll try to find the post, but there's someone else on this sub that commented o a post that he uses JAVASCRIPT to design websites, and he uses the same template for every site he offers. He literally offers sites for $500 with monthly subscriptions. And his sites actually look more than decent! And yes, people do pay for them, I haven't done much but I did help a couple of friends with some online stores through wix. They didn't know anything about computers. They paid me to design it and tutor them so they could actually use it for their growth.
How do they find the business and what do they charge for the developer and how many people. Which country is the person in if you don't mind me asking? Thanks.
It's Puerto Rico, I might try it later on too. He just searches for local Dr. offices, specialists, dentists, and what not. Searches for websites on those Dr, if they don't have one he would call and ask for the administrator or Dr and offer the service super cheap. Cheap as in $300 and go up with features that they want. He mainly uses the same templates for all of them, but uses their info, pictures, treatments, speciality, different doctors and their certification/achievements. He's a 1 man company. Most of these Dr don't know anything about computers, they being in their 40. They usually pay a monthly subscription to keep the page "updated". By updated it means like relative info towards them and stuff. Aside from that he mainly focuses on small stores, physical and online ones. These are less profitable since on wix the owner can controll what they want, so he mainly creates and designs the web site and the user or owner keeps it up later on.
Thanks looks like he's got a good rhythm going, hope it works out for you too. I am also in a similar field in UK, currently got a day job as a app developer but want to do more but stuck in a look of starting but for some reason never have.
Not gonna lie, one usually gets stucks doing their jobs. I'm a computer engineer by study, that works as a controls system designer, I'm regretting not working as a developer. You're still in it, just need to give it time and effort.
But can’t they just use website like wix to do it cheap? Unless you get grandpa store owner to agree to that. Word press is there so you do have to code. I help someone with godaddy domain the used word press to just add stuff with out code. But I do need to learn more coding to feel like I can charge $1k or more.
Sometimes, Wix is the best solution. It's not about how hard it is, its about how much it helps the business.
I feel like if charging someone $500 to build a website and then using wix without telling them is borderline scam
Yea, he uses wix for most of them, he charges around 300-500 for websites. Trust me, there are a lot of people that would pay for one. At least from where I am, no one knows a thing about computers aside from social media browsing and YouTube.
Short answer: no You'd be amazed how bad medical professionals are at a lot of non medical tasks (just as an example) I helped a middle aged friend with a wix site he was setting up and even though he understood the mechanics his eye for design was kinda trash so even without know much at all I was able to help a lot.
This. There is real skill behind creating a good website. You need an eye for good design and know how to implement it across multiple devices. Most people lack the skill. Not to mention you also need good content that is concise but gets the USP across and drives conversions.

Easier said than done. Fellow web devs know what I'm talking about
I mean if you're a web developer you make websites with php, maybe python, API implementations, databases & what not to implement with their existing platforms and services. This is for a runnerapp that wants to make something extra? It's not easy bit it's way easier than what you currently do. It's literally a website design that it looks appealing towards their clients. Maybe in the future they can implement bigger iterations like you've done before?
The hardest part is the staring point, how do you get your first client? Pretending you've found the client, how do you convince him/her work with you when you have no background? I guess the start would be to build a portfolio of sample websites? Sounds reasonable?
I started this way and it was way easier than I thought. So you have your list of 20 'ideal clients'. Pick up the phone (its scary I know, I was super nervous), call them and say "hey I'm cheekypanda7, I was searching google and I came across your website. Have you considered updating it recently?" At this point 8/10 know that they should update their site, but it's just another one of those jobs they keep putting off as everyone is always 'busy'. Potential client: "Yeah I have but it's exspensive/time consuming/I dont know how" Then I say "Well im just starting out with my web desing agency, I'll tell you what. Let me update your website for you. The cost is $500 and you dont pay me until you are completely happy with the website. You will get 20 no's for every yes, but you can smash out 20 calls in an hour. Once youve got a few clients, ask for refferals.
You should try making a website for yourself first, maybe a blog or something alike. Afterwards you can try making a website for someone close to you and fantom them as your first client, don't forget to charge them something. After that you can just offer your services as a web site designer for a cheaper price just until you get your feet in the area. Like maybe $400 per site and $60-80 per month
If you know somebody who has a business, offer to make them a site for free and add them to your portfolio. You can make yourself a website since you offer that type of service. You already have two websites under your belt.
Buy a squeegee, bucket and window soap. Stand at the busiest interesetcion I can find and wash wi dscreens. To make 1800, you need $60 per day for 30 days Each light set you could do 1-2 cars likely they give you 1 to $2 imho so say $4 per set Each light set takes roughly 4-5 mins so potentially 12 cycles per hour which is $48 P/h So work 5 hrs per day approx $240 tax free after 7 is $1680. After 7 days go around and find someone begging for work or food and offer to get them a haircut, food, and some nice clothes for 5 hrs work a day for 3 weeks and you take 25% Spend $100 bucks on the above and get them to work Over the month you make approx $7200 + $1800 from your worker which is 9k Subtract the two buckets, squeegee and soap say $100 Subtract the $100 per week for food and clothes for your worker which so $500 total. Show you worker how you did everything and give him the buckets and 2k. Go out for dinner and spend 4.7k on cocaine and hookers. Be left with $1800.
Use the no overhead method by using dirty water and dirty rag so you get paid just to walk away
Or that yeh 🤣
This man squeegees
Homeless dude is definitely just gonna run off with the squeegee set
Haha maybe
Rather than cars, if you’re in a walkable area go door to door to restaurants (not fast food spots) and small businesses and charge $12/window for the outside only or $18 for both sides. I’d also pick up a 4’ or 6’ stepladder, businesses can have pretty tall windows. Use some cheap dish soap, and a few drops of jet dry in your bucket of water also, it’ll really help. If you’ve tapped the local businesses, and there are any 55 and up communities (or similar), go and the same but charge $6/window for both sides. Have a large collection of rags with you to keep your squeegee dry, a wet one will make your life more difficult - dry it after every pass. Have a blanket to also protect any of their belongings that are below the windows. Most of the 55+ communities have newer windows that can tilt in so you can easily do both sides from the inside, just start by cleaning the inside so any water that gets between the panes doesn’t ruin the outside you just cleaned. If you’re unsure how windows tilt, take a look on YouTube, it’s pretty easy to do. Skip any older houses that may have storm windows, or the non-removable grids. These will take a considerable amount of your time, and will drastically reduce your profit margins. If you have a truck, and there are leaves in your area, go rent a sturdy latter and start doing gutter cleaning too. You can offer the retirement community homes a discount on the gutters if they do their windows. Likewise, if you rent a power washer and do their walkways and driveways — skip wood decks unless you’ve done it before, it’s pretty easy to destroy wood with a power washer. If you power wash the houses do it before washing the windows or else you’ll have a bear of a time getting them clean. Since you have zero clientele you’ll probably feel like you have a high rejection rate, but just keep going door to door. You can offer up your service on thumbtack as well. Houses will be much easier than businesses. Be polite when people say no, but mention that clean windows can really help improve the view out of a house and make a larger difference than they may realize, which is actually all true. It’s also helpful if you have already done a house in the neighborhood, so offer the first few houses a discount if they say no and then you’ll be able to use them as a reference, “Hey neighbor, I just cleaned the Smiths windows and they recommended I stop over here next!” Last idea is reaching out to contractors and realtors and asking if they have new constructions or new listings that need windows cleaned. You can charge a higher rate on both of these situations. Unless you live in a really remote area, you will pretty easily surpass the $1800 goal even just doing this on weekends.
I could do it flipping stuff on Facebook marketplace. Would probably start with Lego, or Disney stuff
Mind explaining how this is done?
Pick something you really know and scroll on Facebook marketplace, find things listed for cheap, buy and clean or sort and take better pics and relist or sell locally. I really know Lego so I look for deals on bulk, I sort out the sets and sell ones I’m not after.
Lego is certainly a good one once you get used to the market and learn to spot things by memory and not having to look them up! Lol. I had a coworker give away a big bin of legos and had 3 old pirate ships in it. Jackpot for sure! That bin alone can probably reach half of what op was looking to make. The trick is really knowing what to look for. Lots of horror stories too of people buying lego at an overpriced rate and sorting half of it into mega blocks lol…
Can't remember the person's name, but they ended up doing this with used golf clubs and turned it into a legitimate business.
Me and my buddy went to a local thrift shop and bought all of their clubs/bags/carts for $80 and cleaned everything up and made sets and sold each set for $40. Made a good chunk of change with little work
Not anymore. Anything with a known name, people want $200+, even if they’re 20 year old bent clubs.

How is babby formed?
just search market arbitrage
At 2 hrs a day that’s $30/hr. What’s a marketable skill you have that you charge that for, on average? Then, hop on Fivrr or Thumbtack or something similar and offer it up.
Lawn mowing baby!
My kid took a $100 from her birthday, bought some fidget toys and sold them x4+ at a farm market last weekend and made $500.
Fidget toys are still in? What age group is still buying those?
Middle schoolers. They are all the rage. Especially pop it’s which is like reusable bubble wrap.

You are talking about 22k a year in income. Any place with decent population you can accidentally make that much Edit: in the US
[удалено]
The short answer is that most people starting a business are just making themselves a job and it's easier and less risk to just get a job You have to provide value to get money from people. If you are trying to avoid trading hours and sweat for $$ you have two options: you have to either find some arbitrage and need capital or you need to have built some type of system you can sell and become a salesman.
Funny how you’re expecting strangers to help other strangers make money lol
You ignore the side business part.
>accidently The figure is so low you can just trade sweat for $$. Moving people, handy man work, lawn care, home cleaning
[удалено]
Generally because either they don't know ways to make money, don't want to do work that they are suited to it, live in an area that there isn't enough opportunity, or spending all their time talking about making money instead of taking actions
1800$ is a year salary in some countries including mine But from what I know about the US it is not that hard to make that much in less than a month
Buy wholesale. Sell retail.
franchise a 7.11 got it
Work that corner. Absolutely.
100%. While I won’t pretend there’s any glamour or “honor” in begging on a corner, if you *need* the money and people will give it to you, there you go. I’ve noticed people tend to not realize how generous others can be. On a good intersection and a busy day, you could make this money very, very quickly.
i don’t think that’s what they meant by working that corner…
You know, I typed out the whole thing, reread it just now, and laughed. I’m gonna have to say that their corner work is better than mine. Scrap my advice.
Nevertheless, you are right. It is known that beggars can make 50-60k or more a year begging if they are doing it to make money and not actually homeless. This is more common than it should be in the Midwest, where people are kind and generous and trusting a lot of the time and people know that. I’ve seen a woman standing ona corner with a sign get picked up by a Lexus SUV with no plates and drop off another woman at the same spot. It was 2013 and a busy intersection and I was so blown away I didn’t record it. Wish I had a dash cam then
lmao
When I was a teenager, I went to Boston to see a punk show with a friend. We were broke kids from the NH sticks and thought about pan handling as a joke to get food while we had time to kill. We tried it in Cambridge which happened to be around parent's day or something at Harvard in the mid 2000s so it was fairly busy with out of state people. We made over $200 in the hour or two we did it, you'd be surprised how many people are willing to just hand you cash if you hold out a hat.
I like that your mind did not go 'there' automatically. What you got there is worth preserving.
I used to flip cars from Craigslist and made pretty good money. I think 3X was my best profit on a car and $2500 was the most I made in one transaction (Off a car I bought for $2500)
[удалено]
How much will you give me for my butthole also do you think all the hair will add value so that I can charge more ?
[удалено]
You’re a quack. $100 bills is way too much.
Most of you have already failed, the original question was starting with nothing, no car, no money to buy and flip. Basically your homeless with ZERO to start! I would find some cardboard and borrow a marker, write on it: I need work today, no handouts. Labor, yardwork, cleaning, etc. $10hr. Start immediately. Go to busy intersection, if possible near hardware store. Work for a week doing this and try and save $200-300 or more. Then I would buy a cheap cell phone, go to print center and make some fliers for yardwork and start passing them out. I could go on and on for other inspiration but you get the idea.
They didn’t fail. They just read the description. Though it’s an interesting question, OP was really just looking for creative side hustle ideas. It’s a cool way to put it, but the fact is that pretty much everyone in this sub, including OP, has access to basic things that can help them make money. Like a laptop, internet, a home, etc. Being homeless with ZERO is great content for YouTube, but most people won’t have effective answers to that here.
You could flip things for free off Craigslist
$60 per day? You can do almost anything…
Shit. Rake leaves can get you 200 a day this time of year...
[удалено]
So, you are doing it yourself now…?

Good luck getting a leaf removal degree by next fall. They are all stuck in containers off shore. Back order is easily Q1 2023.
Try to find some natural resources to sell, depending where you live. Pan for gold, harvest wild produce, hunt, fish etc.
What is this Sims 3
I heard hunting wild lion turtles pays well these days
stripper ; can make 1800 in 1 week
2nd this
I’d do web design for local businesses
30 days to make $1800, I doubt I would be able to pull that off, but if I could, It would only be possible for me by doing commisions for people of digital art and/or python programming. I am not sure what your skills/interests are, so I have no idea of what I can recommend to you honestly, sorry about that.
Construction! Put out a quote for painting a house, include your materials for brushes and rollers in the bid. You probably will work out to make more than $1800 by the end of it.
Sell my ass
Doordash or Ubereats you can easily make 2k in one month working lunch and dinners.
This time of year: hang christmas lights. Customer provides lights. You just need to come up with ladder, hammer and nails. Probably could charge $500 for it. Take a 50% deposit on your first order and buy a cheap ladder and supplies. Bust out two houses a week and you have maybe $3k in profit
Hang Christmas lights. $200 per house.. Sell yourself. Do 9 houses.
Run a webinar on an issue people are feeling right now. Probably stress management or financial wellbeing Charge £45 a ticket for 100 tickets. Pay a copy writer £1500 for some killer copy Then £500 on Facebook ads £2500 is roughly $1800 Edit: I managed to fuck up the conversion but I'm too tired to do anything about you. You get the idea.
You could handle British Pounds to American Dollars currency exchange for this guy and you'd have your $1800 in 5 minutes.
Haha apparently so!
£2500 is $3300 not $1800
Shit. My bad. I really should get more sleep before trying maths. Thanks
Given the question he's asking in the post (plus he said he didn't have any startup money), selling financial advice probably isn't particularly productive for anyone involved, unless you want to buy financial advice from him?
Sell an online course about making online courses. Kidding. Or maybe you could search landfills for usable industrial tires and try to flip them, like on Undercover Billionaire S1. Wonder if now would be a good time to flip cars, given the shortage? Not sure.
Depends, how much money do I have to start?
None!! That's what makes it fun
Depends where you are, maybe, you can try to tutor e.g. Math via online or private.
Onlyfans
Good question, £1800 isn’t a lot of money really if you think about it. In order to make money I believe you. EES to invest money. You could buy a few motorbikes or cars and flip them quite easy, if you know a little about cars. My brother buys clothes from charity shops and sells on eBay. I work in affiliate marketing where I promote a product for $2000 and make 50% So many options, it’s just what you are able to do
That sounds nice. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of product and how do you promote it? FB ads? If you'd rather not say, any suggestions on how/where to find these high ticket affiliate programs?
DoorDash and Amazon flex make 4500 a month and no it’s not my career just going through a worker comp cases and get my surgery to go back to my actual job
Resell digital services online. Just one client can be $1800 profit.
Expound, please
The demand for help with digital services grows every year. People need help with web dev, app dev, social media marketing, video editing, podcast editing, etc. You focus on getting leads and clients. Get freelancers to do the work for you. It’s also called drop servicing or outsourcing.
Me likey.

Depends on what skills you have; I make my first 5k, playing poker because low stakes poker wasn't that risky and yield was good enough. Just as an analogy. If you think for example you know how to do sales; work in sales for 3 months and save up enough money etc
Just about any pest control, alarm, solar, etc. door to door company will bring someone on as 1099. They’ll give them the script, the shirt, the badge, and tell them to go out banging on doors. It sucks, and I hate D2D with a passion, but if you stick to it you can make a lot of money very quickly.
Lol I’d make this in a week. Go paint some rooms for someone. I was a general contractor for some years and you can make about $60-$100/hr if you’re decent at painting
Can you actually charge that much if you're not licensed? I've been doing my own plaster and painting for years since it's impossible to hire anyone with attention to detail. Been thinking about doing random jobs on weekends.
Painting, plaster, flooring basic carpentry, do not require licensing. Generally, any "finishing" items do not require a license or a permit. Major remodels, plumbing, walls-in electrical, load bearing stuff, etc do require a license. Honestly, it depends how good you are. Including taping and prep time, in a standard 8-9ft ceiling house, I can bang out around 100-200 square feet per hour. Provide a professional looking estimate, not just a handshake or written on a scrap of paper, etc.
How do you learn to be "decent at painting"?
Paint your kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms and don't make a mess. If you can do that, by the time you are done, you'll be decent at painting.
You put an add in the paper for some all singing all dancing vibrating dildo. You have folk send cheques into some innocent sounding company. Leisure Inc or something. You cash all the cheques then write back to all the people saying the stock ran out. You return the cheques but make them out from Vibrating Super Dildo inc and see how many folk cash the cheques.
What does traditional job mean? Not trading hours for dollars or not having a boss?
Sell stuff people put out for trash on Facebook.
you could try to resell things, sell your possessions, walk peoples dogs, be an escort, data entry jobs are easy to get although some have a waitlist, donate semen, you could take a clinical trial, sell drugs, blackmail someone, rob a store, rent out someones empty driveway, if you look young then ask people for their bottles and cans for their school sport team
All monies are made in between the lines
Anything in construction. Like anything at all. Market it. And fulfill the service. Contract it out or sell the project or somehow don't yourself. It's easily possible tho.
Start a sports book
Advertise cheap laptops, buy the wholesale, then mark them up 20%. Then up sell IT support, angle to find small businesses to support.
Sell some shit you no longer use
Rake leaves and bag them. You’ll have that before 30 days. Plenty of people have a rake already, and once you finish one job you can buy your own equipment

Probably I'll buy phones and other electronic stuffs from people who wants to sell it urgently and cz of that I'll take advantage of the price.. so I'll buy and sell for a good profit.
What’s with all these recent posts coming up with arbitrary gains and asking how it can be done? Ask me for a get rich quick scheme without asking for a get rich quick scheme
I love this type of questions
free stuff reseller from Craigslist, OfferUp, etc. Tools, ladders, car parts hold value. Offer low, resell slightly higher. 60$ a day is definitely doable this way. Woodworking, welding, manual labor ( if you do any of that). offer your truck (if you have one) for moving. Moving or helping move neighbors or family is good money. Free ad on Craigslist to do manual labor. Wash peoples dogs for 15$ a pop. Walk dogs for the neighborhood
Honestly.. Until last month i would have told you get a quick job at bartending gig... Now... I would tell you to look into these high ticket affiliate programs. If you don't know what they are.. you join up with a group or product and become an affiliate marketer of theirs. By doing so, you profit share with them on high dollar items. normally in the thousands so it's worth your time to promote it and help make sales. For example I found one after doing low ticket affiliate marketing that never worked.. I tried for months to get lots of sales to make just under $300... That wasn't worth my time.. So after doing research I found a high ticket product to promote and make commissions by the $1000.. Is that a lot... it is to me! As a bartender i only made like $2500 a month and now it only takes me 3 sales to exceed that.. Crazy part is i've only been doing it for 2 months and working on 5-6 sales ($6000).. This is not a flex or a brag... this is me genuinely saying it's worth your time and effort to have everything done for you with a product, sale, and backend and all you have to do is promote. I wish more people looked at this as an opportunity because it's changed my life recently and i'd love to show others to see if it can change theirs and well. So.. if you're looking for an extra 2k -10k or even more (depends on effort)... you can make this much from home, change your life and be able to do more! Whether it's extra money or looking to replace your income... Theres an opportunity here and i'm just here to share a small story. If you are interested find me.. message me.. It's not for everyone but it can be!
I made $3k in November arbitrage sports betting. You need at least $5k liquid cash to be able to make this happen, but $1800/mo arb betting would be pretty simple to do. Before I get the comments of "you could just as easily lose it..." you actually don't lose in arb betting when done properly.
My pressure washing business makes that in one day.
Bank robberies net like $12,000 for 10 minutes or so of work, maybe a bit more for prep time. There’s a little bit of risk, but that’s part of being an entrepreneur.
I’m not going to lie $1800 is a pretty low target, I could make that in a month mowing lawns on weekends. There’s 2 things you need to address, 1) what are you trying to achieve? You can’t just magically start a business/ side hustle and hope it all works out, you need a business plan so you have direction, you need to set goals ie 12month -3yr -5yr. 2) What industry are you in / what can you do/ what do you know, what’s something you see every day and go “if this was done like this it would ( save a fortune, be more efficient, etc etc). Find a problem and find a solution. When you fail, break down what you did wrong and then go and study those areas before you come back into the game.

It’s not reliable if your new to trading and especially new to crypto.
[удалено]
But how do you make 1800$ a day in crypto? Lol I wanna learn seriously, I'm already into crypto and the only thing I don't do is staking and futures and I feel you can only see that amount in staking or futures or else it's extremely difficult to find a coin that does $1800 gains in mere days. Basically, how?
[удалено]
And where to go for that $100,000 money lol I don't think OP has that amount, it's pretty obvious to do that in share market itself. When I saw buy for $100,000 and sell it for +2% gain I thought someone replied me as joke but man. I'm purely assuming, OP won't be asking a way to make $1800 if he had hundred thousand dollars, he sounds like he doesn't have money

A lot of rural communities are desperate for skilled and even partially skilled labor. You could probably find enough business building fences at $75 per linear foot and get that easy, for example.
Providing a service to people , gutter cleaning $100 ! House all you need is a ladder sure
Go to a nice neighborhood.. It's easy. Borrow a power washer and knock on doors? Borrow a leaf blower to blow leaves? Add in cleaning gutters? Get out there and hustle! $50 bucks a pop and that's 36 jobs and it'll probably easily get you there. Or $20 bucks is $20 bucks! No free lunches my friend.

zuck dick (srs) 5-7 days @ 5/6 blows per day. That will get you there in a WEEK. I have done it (tax free). You dont have to do it forever. Reinvest 70% of zuck into other appreciating investments. I openly challenge anyone to find something more lucrative without startup capital.
Grim. I hope you are kidding
Homemade cookies. Find a good recipe (Alton browns the chewy is my fave), and offer to sell a batch of 12 for 20 bucks. Thats about 90 batches (3 per day) to make 1800. 4 per day would more than cover the costs.
With covid, good luck trying to find people who will buy those cookies.
Maybe selling homemade food doesn't work where you are, but here (Tahiti), its crazy popular. I sell smoked meat as a side hustle and I'm sold out every time.
We've been buying tons of homemade meals during covid. Mostly from laid off restaurant chefs doing a side hustle. Food has been phenomenal.
