I've done various things on the side. Mainly not for the money but because I wanted to learn how to do it.

1. T-shirt screenprinting and vinyl work. Money was good as was the work, but hated all the dumb sales tax payments and collections. It became too much like a real business requiring paperwork or else I couldn't get the blanks.

2. Honeybees. My dad and I have around 150 hives that keep us busy most of the Summer and fall (feeding them). That business is lucrative and we would make a ton more if we sold our honey retail, but so far have just sold 55g drums.

3. Large format photo printing and wedding photography. This was my first side hustle which got me into the shirt business because I started printing transfers. The problem with weddings was I love photography but not dealing with people. Weddings is always dealing with people at their worse because they think they should be able to rule you on their 'special' day.

Yes, but Covid shut it down completely. Which sucks because I was finally actually making money from it.

I’m a musician and no bars = no gigs. We don’t really make hardly any money off of streaming.

Yeah. They come from all over and always sell it as 'Local Honey'. Unless you see a lot of hives... that local honey guy is just repackaging it from wherever he can get it even different states etc.

I love it. My wife and kids help me run my route. I intend on passing it down to one of them. I only spend half a Friday or Sunday to run it. It also helps to know how to fix them when they break.

Detail, paint correct and ceramic coat cars. People pay so much for ceramic coating and it's super easy.

Trained duck dogs for twenty years, quit in 2016 to charter inshore fishing trips in 2017. Rona has made 2020 a tough year for charter trips.

Flip a few houses on the side, and I have my notary, which seems to come and go as far as income. I’ll do 5-6 notaries in a month, then go a month or two without anything. It’s a nice bonus when it happens, and it only costs me $50/ year to keep it up.

I have a side hustle. I talk on the phone to Dick Vitale each week. We laugh about the good ole days. I am into information distribution. I also write fiction books. I used to be a preacher. I can’t temember too much though. But that Dick sends me a check each week. Dick is like my friend, Mr. Bigfoot.
