re: How many of you baws do side gigs for beer money?

For the short while they had them I was charging Bird/Lime scooters in Lafayette. We lived downtown so it was super convenient. I was making $150-$200/night working 1 hour in the evening then spending about 45 minutes putting them out before work. They ran them out of town but changed their payment structure so I read it wasn’t near as good money anymore.

I don’t do it as much as I used to but would make some extra cash buying/selling stuff on Facebook marketplace/Craigslist/etc. Fishing gear, kayaks, bicycles, motorcycle parts, etc.

We might need to talk. What sports do you assign? HS BBall official here who took two years off looking to get back into it.

I do Prolific surveys in my spare time. You make between $0.10 and maybe $1.50 on average, depending on how involved the survey is. They have big money ones sometimes (I made $15 once for having a video call with a stranger before) but those are more rare and usually require extra steps. If you don't care about someone using the info you provide for research, it's not a bad deal. I've made almost $200 just doing surveys here and there for the last few months, so not "side gig" level money but still a nice little check.

Yep
I do Uber eats as well as during Christmas time sold trees

All last year, I helped my brother in law level mobile homes on weekends.

Normally made $150-$300 a day.

You'd be surprised how much those guys make doing that full time.

Have you ever tried instacart? I think that I'd rather do something like that. The guy that brought my groceries the other day said that he was filling two other grocery orders while he was working on mine.

My credit card gave me a free premium Instacart membership for the next 5 months, and I've been using it like crazy.. like 3x a week. It's free and you just tip, so well worth it.

If I was a gig employee/college student, I would be all about it.

My full-time job allows me 8-4 M-F, so I work at a liquor warehouse 5-10 a few nights a week.

Phew. I couldn't do this schedule, even if it is a chill job.

No. Opportunity cost.

I value my time at more than $100 per night, and also if I want to work in the evening I stand to make a shitload more money just putting that time against my day job.

Do you side gig baws have a wife and kids?

No, my fiancé left me, so I now fill the time I did with her with my side gigs

sounds interesting, what to look for when trying to get one of these gigs? I'm in Florida though.

My side hussle has become a landlord, good move so far.

That's my next move. I'm also interested in setting up a small BitCoin mining LLC

For the sporting event IT work, there's a tremendous amount of systems that are utilized for Sporting Events. My area of support generally revolves around the systems used to support the operation of the game itself. Scoreboards, TV feeds, Replay and music systems.

I got into it a few years ago when someone in my network reached out to fill a position. I actually enjoy my side hustle more than my day to day job. Unfortunately it would require lots of travel if I wanted to make a career out of it.
