“Once a month, on a Friday evening, I host a parents’ evening and babysit overnight. I still have a swing set, tree swing, etc. for the kids to come to my house. I charge about $50 per child and serve dinner and dessert, we play outside until dusk, come in and clean up/put on pajamas, then watch a movie, depending on the weather and the kids’ ages, can we use our inflatable cinema screen and projector and watch the film outside with popcorn and juice boxes then it’s time to brush our teeth and get sleeping bags. At 8 a.m. the children quickly fall asleep to feed the little ones. The parents pick up around 9:15 a.m. I typically care for 8 to 10 children and it easily costs $500. Children LOVE the evening and I have more demand than there is space available.

“I sell plant cuttings and seedlings! In the spring I simply sell my excess peppers and tomatoes, and then I have a few beloved houseplants that need a haircut every now and then. I simply root the cuttings in water and eventually pot them up and sell them. That’s not the case. A lot of money or something, but it’s a good way to pay off my hobby over time. Also, I’ve been growing pomegranates from seed because they’re an unusual houseplant where I live. For more than $129, I had no problem growing the little guys for a few months and selling them for $20. The seed packets, on the other hand, cost $5.

“I don’t think it’s strange, and it’s niche, so not a normal thing, but on average I probably make as much money as an additional part-time job per month, sometimes even more. I have a full-time job.” “Real” work, but on the side I sell items I find in the alley. I have a Poshmark inventory of over 450 items, have sold well over 1,000 items, and have at least 150-200 not even listed. Basically no one would guess where this stuff comes from. And that’s only if I can list it for more than $20. Aside from the sweat and time involved, it’s 100% win.”

“Not particularly strange, but I sharpen knives and tools to supplement my income. Startup costs are pretty low, and if you go to a farmers market in a more affluent part of town you can usually get a decent deal. Kitchen and wallet.” Knives are usually the standard, but if you can sharpen tools like lawn mower blades, scissors, chisels, etc., you can get a decent return on investment, ranging from a few hundred to about $1,000 per month, depending how much you earn I’m working on it.

“I had a plumbing replacement and needed someone with a snake to unclog the line. I looked on Craigslist and everyone was asking $99 for the snake. This one guy was advertising it for $69. I called him, he came and he had my line.” In 20 minutes we started talking. He and his family had come from Ohio just a few weeks ago because their 8-year-old daughter needed medical treatment that was only available in Tampa. He bought a used electrical wiring snake for $400 and was immediately busy doing snake work to be there Price was the lowest on Craigslist. He said he earned about $400 a day and worked at it for seven days. Once the initial investment is made, there’s a lot of money in it, but of course it’s not a glamorous job.”
