Selling old clothes

I sell old clothes and regularly listen to finance podcasts, so that I can make better choices in the future. Years ago I tried mystery shopping but found out that the activity took more time than the reward was worth. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Market research

•Spoke up when I noticed I wasn’t being remunerated correctly.

•Started investing to start growing a passive income stream w/ dividends to be reinvested.

•Identified my money goals and values and aligned my spending and saving with my goals to cut wasteful habits.

•Started doing surveys and market research for $$ and return and earn for extra $$ to invest.

•Taking extra shifts on weekends 2x per month to add to my emergency fund and investments.

Changing careers

Quitting my last workplace that undervalued me and found a job somewhere that values me correctly and also is interested in investing in and helping me grow.

I’ve been able to turn two of my hobbies/ passions into both a side hustle and use my knowledge to increase my primary job’s wage.

Passion turned side hustle

I turned my passion for manicured lawns and gardening into a great side hustle, offering lawn plans and vegetable growing guides for sale via my social media channels. I was also able to use my understanding of technology to become an SME and play a vital role in system implementation, significantly increasing my wage in the process.

Nappy cakes

I have had a little side hustle the last few years making nappy cakes for baby showers gifts etc! Great as a creative outlet due to the science nature of my work, and has given us a bit of extra cash to afford holidays whilst studying and now as extra cash flow for our own little bub 🥰

Pet sitting

I’ve made more money over the last few years by doing pet sitting, I can work from home at someone else’s home and earn extra money doing what I’d otherwise just be doing at my own home anyway, plus cute pets are involved too so that’s always a plus 😄🐱🐶💰

TV mounting

After hours and on weekends I’ve offered TV brackets/mounting via an outsourcing task platform. It’s surprising how that extra income completing something you enjoy builds into something substantial over time! 😃
