I definitely don't make a ton off it, but I 3D print parts and sell em on eBay. Thus far it's just stuff for my Ducati, but plan on adding some R1/R6 parts to the catalog. In the past few weeks, I've made a couple hundred bucks, funds my car parts.

Also do some app development stuff on the side with an old coworker of mine, not a ton of money, but I'm getting $1000 for a mobile app that I spend a couple hours a week on. Have my own app I'm working on also, which HOPEFULLY will be well received, maybe run ads on it.

I would like to develop an app called Angry Siri. It replaces the current Siri with a really angry bitch from hell that curses like a sailor. Would also like to have the same voice for the Navi apps: "Turn around you dumbass, WTF is your mental malfunction?" I have a whole script.

Don't need an app for that.

Most of us can check in with wife (ex wife) for that "feature"

Enter with a small amount.....stay patient, pull your initial investment back out...and play with house money.

Any stock I buy...if it goes up, I pull out my initial cost and let the rest ride!
Ok I'll take a read thanks.

For sure, just looking at making some extra money on the side. My job can only give me so much without overtime... once I purchase my house I'm definitely starting to look at stocks and a detailing business at home on the side.

If you work in IT, start bug hunting. There are tons of bug bounty programs where companies will pay you $50-$500 or more per bug found. Hypothetically you spend a couple months learning the basic attacks, write some scripts / payload package to test, go to a bug bounty site, and let 'er rip. Something like 95% of sites + mobile sites are vulnerable to some of the most basic attacks. And if you happen to find a day-zero bug you can get beaucoup bucks from the company.

Waze had a Mr. T voice. It got old because he didn’t record too many clips, but it was extremely enjoyable for awhile. “You damn fool!”

What a great thread! It’s my first foray into the off topic section of the board and this is a fun thread!

I’ve always wanted to do some sort of ecommerce or sell things on ebay but just don’t know what niche I could go into. My day job is a real estate broker, but I find a thrill when someone bids or buys my used car parts on ebay.

What's that old saying, "do something that you enjoy and you'll never work a day in your life"? Something like that.

Find something that interests you, that you enjoy and that you can become an expert at (if you're not already) and make that your second income.

Worry less about the money and focus on enjoying your life.

I used to Manufacture Spend on credit card cash back. Hey day was a couple of years ago when I would make $500 per day for a couple of hours of work. Those deals are gone mainly due to reduced CC bonus, and time ROI. If deals are still there, they are tightly guarded obviously. Some people were pulling in millions a year doing it FT. Wonder if anybody on this forum did this, or still do this.

All our clients came through social media and kijiji. Shoot me a message if you have any questions
There is a shop in my hometown that was once a one person place that I've gone to since the beginning. He focused on QUALITY detailing and window tinting and now has the best and biggest such businesses in the Pittsburgh area (IMO). He just posted a video picking up his new GT4. On top of his Hellcat, Lamborghini, etc.

Great guy and his drive to deliver the best quality helped him achieve what he has today. He has a great crew that continues to deliver top quality. They do all of my cars (PPF, Ceramic, Tint).

The opening line in the video says it all, couldn't afford a 6 dollar lunch 8 years ago haha.

I don't know why they wouldn't? They let me touch them and I'm not even a wax technician. I still handle what needs to be done, but no wax is involved unless it comes from a candle.
