I sell firewood sometimes. But it’s a lot of work for not a lot of return. It’s more of a hobby than a side hustle, I only sell wood to people I already sell wood to. I turn away people all the time.

a little nuisance work and occasional tree.

I spend more on tools and supplies than I make ,but it pays for the tools sometimes.

do we consider volunteer gigs side hustles ?
Volunteer shooting sports instructor.
Volunteer chef some times.
Elected but volunteer range director.
Volunteer emergency manager.

it all takes time , in most cases the pay is helping kids or community.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I keep bees and sell honey. But it’s not a hustle, the state and federal get their cut.

I just started a second business with a partner, who's been a friend of mine for over 20 years. It's a nursery business. We got our LLC the week before Easter. We have two locations, one here in Champaign County and one in Wilmington, Ohio. We passed our first state inspection and should have a second inspection in mid June. The goal is to have employees selling for us at several locations per week, including flea markets, farmer's markets, shows and festivals, plus I'll sell here.

This will be the first time I had a partner since 2008. I had a security company with a partner from 1995 to 2008.

I had/have a mostly wholesale pet sale business since 1989, that has metamorphed greatly over the years.

I'm also planting for a U-Pick, but that probably won't be profitable for at least 3 years.

I've only worked for other people 6 years, since reaching adulthood and always had my own projects going at the same time. I have a strong tendency to do whatever interests me, that I enjoy, for a living. It's very easy to make money in America, doing what you want, if you're willing to work. It's one of the greatest things about our country.

If one works at a company that employs 20 or more folks; like a coal mine, railroad, equipment place etc.
Then it is a pretty good gig to wake up 2 hours earlier and cook a bunch of breakfast tacos and wrap them in foil. Nothing spectactular, just bacon, egg, cheese one day, and sausage or chorizo egg and cheese the other days. Guarantee you can sell them for $5 a piece at work.

I remodel fur and go to fairs and festivals as a vendor. Being retired it gives me something to do. I make a bit more on my catch, get out of the house, and always let people know I trap using ethical methods.
