I saw your video with Steve and his ice vending business on Youtube. The machines he has are Everest ice machines. I would like to spend some time with him to get more info on the business. I am wondering if it would be possible to get in contact with him. I am willing to compensate for his valuable time. The video is from 9 months ago.
Thank you for the video you produced. There is a lot of good info.

In reply to Shawn.

@Shawn
Thanks for sharing this.
I really wish men would get this, when women offer these services. (that it’s not always about sex).

I think what you’re doing is a journey to a healthy psychological well-being, as it’s a mutual respectful business agreement. I would love to communicate with you, if possible.
Maybe the author here will make that possible.

So many people, in my research are lonely it seems, even those with families.

Awesome stuff, thanks for curating this great list Nick. I really like all the rental ideas. I’m personally a big advocate of garage and storage space rentals. Nothing life changing, but good income on the side.

Heard of another cool idea recently but it’s only for people who own stocks. Apparently you can sell the voting rights that come with stocks, and make money from them. Super neat because I get those proxies all the time and don’t use them. Worth checking out for any passive investors out there. Keep up the hustle!

Great list and you back it up with examples from your podcast and Youtube channel. Some original ideas not the usual rehashed lists. I went to school for accounting but could never get a bookkeeping service going. I liked doing the work but small business owners aren’t very cooperative and are cheap plus I’m not a great marketer. But your list is great and so are the ideas in the comments. I’m really focusing over the next few years to get something going. I spent a lot of time during the pandemic learning about investing but of course the stock market hasn’t done much for over a year so I’m on to something else in the meantime.

Something that I did during school that really helped me out was having a few different side hustles that I could cycle between. I maintained a TikTok and YouTube Channel that was semi-successful and used delivery apps like amazon flex, doordash, and uber eats. Another option is taking care of people’s kids or dogs. Taking care of kids was helpful for me, as I was a child development major. If you wanna go that route, I recommend using craigslist.org or weecare.co. Or if all else fails, part-time work helps as well! Just less flexibility.

I really appreciate that you have posted this resource here. It has definitely helped many over the years since it was first posted in 2013 (based on the earliest comments).
Do you have a VA or two that would have time to update it?
I also tried to start a proofreading service on Fiverr, but there is so much competition now, I doubt I will ever get any work.
And the real estate wholesaling side hustle (#86) is no longer about finding distressed properties, J. has pivoted to STR (Short Term Rentals)/AirBnB.
Plus many of these may no longer be applicable since the arrival of COVID-91 (Snuggling).
Keep up the great work, Nick!

Hi Nick,

Would you be interested to interview an elementary art teacher turned custom furniture builder? He went from a typical NC entry school teacher salary to $85k/year so far. Good friend of mine, I’d love to make an introduction if you’re interested.

Like Tyler, I flipped books as well. It’s a great side hustle. I went to thrift shops and scanned barcodes. If they were worth anything, I would buy them, and sell them on Amazon or eBay. It was easy to understand and dirt simple to do.

#17, Flipping Books, is more work than just a side hustle… I have numerous books that are old and that you would think have a good value to them, but when inputting the ISBN number, i’m getting values of $0.50. In order to make any decent money doing this you would have to scour every garage sale and flea market every single day of the year, and even then, finding books with a flippable value is next to impossible.
