side hustles along with small pointers, such as how hard or how difficult the side hustle was for me, along with other resources that can help you get started with each side hustle. So, without further ado, let's get into it. Okay, up first is
Speaker A
selling mugs on Etsy. Now, if you haven't already seen my first two videos that I've done regarding this, I have the first one where I actually set up the shop, the second one is a 3-month update, and I also have a six-month update
Speaker A
coming out. I'm going to be discussing the different profits that I've been able to make from it. I'm also going to be discussing the products that I use and how I go about setting up my shop. All of those good details I'm going to
Speaker A
have in my upcoming video. However, selling on Etsy this time around has been able to produce a profit. Now, this one does take time and effort along with a little bit of upfront cash. However, I have been able to get a profit
Speaker A
from it, so it's on this list. All right, the second side hustle that has been able to produce a profit for me is participating in a cleaning business. Now, I do also have two separate videos on this topic as well, but essentially I did
Speaker A
this when I was younger to produce an income on the side, like while I was in high school, and I did it for apartment complexes who had tenants who were moving out and new tenants needed to move in, and the apartment had to have a
Speaker A
general overall clean before the new tenants moved in. The amount you can earn while doing this ranges from $30 to $50 per hour. It is pretty lucrative, and if you start your own small business doing it, you're going to have those small
Speaker A
business upfront fees and costs that are going to be included. Now, again, I do have separate videos on this. I'm going to have all the resources linked down below for you all to check out, but I also want
Speaker A
to mention on this specific one that there are other options in the field when it comes to the side hustle cleaning business. So, for example, for years, my parents participated in a side hustle business for cleaning banks in
Speaker A
the evening. So, whenever the business is closed, you would go in and clean the office to a general clean, a wipe down of the counters, vacuuming of the floor, taking out the garbage, that type of thing. Now, this one typically pays
Speaker A
anywhere from $15 to $20 per hour depending on the area in which you live and can be found on job boards like Indeed.com. Okay, up next is starting a YouTube channel. Now, this one that you're watching this video on is not my first
Speaker A
rodeo when it comes to YouTube. I actually started a child-based YouTube channel back in 2021. That child channel kind of got me started with learning the ropes of YouTube, how often to upload, how to edit basic videos, things to that
Speaker A
nature. And out of all of the things that I'm going to discuss today, YouTube is by far the most lucrative business that I've participated in thus far. However, there are a lot of things that hold people back when it comes to starting a
Speaker A
YouTube channel, things like editing a video or designing a thumbnail. Those things alone can be a little intimidating to people. For me, it was also intimidating in the beginning. I didn't know how to cut clips, paste clips together. I didn't know how to do any of
Speaker A
that, and for years, it took me time to search on YouTube to look and practice myself in learning how to edit videos. And in fact, I'm still learning how to edit videos. So, for example, to this day, I'm still working on learning a new
Speaker A
software for editing, which is called Adobe Premiere Pro. To learn this specific software, I had to go and search for how to learn it. Well, the platform that I'm specifically using in order to learn this specific software is
Speaker A
Skillshare. Now, when I personally search on Skillshare for this topic to learn, I found a variety of different classes that were available regarding this specific software, the Adobe Premiere Pro. Now, something else that's cool with Skillshare is their learning paths. So,
Speaker A
the learning paths provide a set of curated classes that build on one another to ensure you're going to learn everything you need to learn about your specific area. So, for me, I'm interested in this one right here for editing and
Speaker A
Final Cut Pro. Once you click on it, you're able to see if you scroll down a little bit everything you're going to need, so materials, the final product, the level. This one is for a beginner. I'm going to go ahead and save this path
Speaker A
here, and then once you scroll down a little bit more, it shows you everything that's going to be included in this learning path. It's also great for a variety of different businesses and other things that you may want to learn
Speaker A
in order to help you produce higher skills in different areas. So, for example, if you're somebody who's looking into photography or you're somebody who enjoys sewing and you want to kind of take it to the next level to maybe open up an
Speaker A
Etsy shop, Skillshare is a huge online learning community that offers a very large variety of classes and a large variety of different topics. Now, luckily, I've been able to partner with Skillshare on this one, and they are offering the first 500 people to use my
Speaker A
link down below a one-month free trial. Now, if you're not finding value from it, which I highly doubt, but if you're not finding value from it after a month of using it, you are able to cancel, and you
Speaker A
won't have to pay any money for it. I highly encourage you to join this online learning community by clicking my link in the description box or pinned comment down below, and thank you to Skillshare for sponsoring this video. Okay, so the
Speaker A
fourth side hustle that I've done that's been able to produce a profit is affiliate marketing. Now, I've personally done this a couple of ways. I've done it through YouTube and my YouTube channel, and I've also done it through Pinterest
Speaker A
affiliate marketing, which I have a couple of videos on. Now, obviously, because I have a larger following on YouTube, I have been able to produce more of a profit from YouTube than Pinterest at this point. However, I've been doing
Speaker A
YouTube longer than the Pinterest affiliate marketing. I also have an update video coming out on my Pinterest affiliate marketing, so keep an eye out for that, where I'm going to discuss my profits along with different tools and strategies to get started with that
Speaker A
specific one. But essentially, affiliate marketing is just promoting a product to an audience, and when somebody clicks the link that you've given them for that product, you get a small profit from the purchase that that person made. All right,
Speaker A
so the fifth way I've been able to make extra money on the side is by doing furniture flipping or reselling items that I found places such as Goodwill or other items I had around my house for a profit. Now, I originally learned how to
Speaker A
do furniture flipping by watching YouTube channels, so I will link a couple of great channels for you to check out down below regarding furniture flipping, and you can do this a couple of different ways. So, for example, you can go
Speaker A
into Goodwill, you can get items off the side of the road that people are throwing away, and you can redo or repurpose these items. So, I always enjoyed sanding the items, painting the items, all of that. However, it does
Speaker A
require you to have a little bit of upfront capital in order to purchase the products and purchase the paint and all of that. Now, I was able to produce a consistent profit from doing this. However, I do understand that a lot of
Speaker A
people don't want to do all of that, so there's also the option of reselling items at a higher price on places like Facebook Marketplace of items that you have found at places like Goodwill. So, that's also another option. I also have a
Speaker A
completely dedicated video to how to get started with selling on M Ki Marketplace, which is an online selling platform, and I'll link that video also.
Speaker A
and that's using an app or a website called task verse now again I have an entirely dedicated video to this specific one however task vers is an online community where you complete task and get paid for it this is the only one
Speaker A
that I was able to actually get paid from doing the tasks that I did and in that video I did a 30 minute task or it gives you up to 2 hours but it only took me 30 minutes to do and they give you
Speaker A
$35 for doing it I got paid within a couple of days I think it was 2 or 3 days within two or 3 days of doing the task I got the money in my PayPal account and so I made a whole video
Speaker A
about it and a lot of people in the comment section also did the task and got paid for it the only downside with task force is that they don't consistently have a lot of jobs on there available however if you're needing a
Speaker A
few extra bucks and you want to complete a task here and there task vers works I will link that specific video again down below however be prepared I do say you guys about 10 times within the first 2
Speaker A
minutes of that video unknowingly and the comment section definitely didn't let me down regarding that okay number seven and the last one that I've done that was able to produce a profit for me on the side is playing games on websites
Speaker A
like free cash now not all gaming ones work however the specific one that I've tried up to this point is freecash.pro one which the video is coming out soon in order to see if this specific Network also works for playing
Speaker A
games and earning money on the side but what you do is you basically just play games in your spare time things like yatsi that one's my favorite I still play it I think it's super fun and then when you reach certain levels you get a
Speaker A
payout and they pay out in different ways I have a whole video dedicated to this specific one however this one was the easiest and definitely the most fun out of the entire list please leave me comments of all of the things that you
Speaker A
have tried that have produced a profit so that this community can learn and grow from one another and actually know what works and what doesn't work if you find you have any questions regarding anything I talked about in this video
Speaker A
please leave me a comment down below as always I hope you all found this video to be helpful thank you so much for your support and I look forward to seeing you in my next video bye-bye
