Trading cryptocurrency - in stock markets charting, Elliot wave don't really work as well (or not easy to use), you're trading against hyper experienced investors. In Bitcoin, ethereum, there is broad participation by less experienced investors and speculators, and there is much more emotions in the chart. It makes technical analysis very easy, because the patterns are obvious, easy to spot, much less likely to be manufactured. The transaction fees are also low allowing small positions. So when I see an opportunity I just put $500. Next thing you know I'm up $200 and I cash it out. One more thing is if I'm ever wrong, cryptocurrency is in a bull market, and the position would always get rescued as long as I am patient. Of course I do have discipline and do cut my losses. Transaction costs is cheap, and opportunities are frequent, so it's easy emotionally to do it. I have a few grand this year which is nice.<p>I do have a lot of money in stocks and with those I don't do nearly as well but clearly I learned enough to make a quid or two in crypto markets.
I do freelance coding work in my spare time and try and combine it with some open source stuff too as a way of boosting my web presence. I recently made £500 in a month doing work in my spare time, not a huge amount but add on a full time job, it's nice to have the extra income.<p>Link to my latest project - <a href="https://github.com/DrRoach/DynamicImage" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/DrRoach/DynamicImage</a> (It's a dynamic image generation library if you're interested)
I flip stuff on ebay and/or craigslist (or the german equivalent). I want to experiment a little bit with retail arbitrage on amazon fba too.<p>It is really easy to get started (just sell stuff that you can find in your house and don't need anymore) and I really like this treasure hunt feeling when entering a thrift store or looking for clearance.<p>made me so far around 300€ in less than 30 days and still have inventory left for about 150€. and I'm still learning what might sell and what not.
My experience is that hardest part is marketing.<p>Yesterday I have launched <a href="https://submit-sitemap.com" rel="nofollow">https://submit-sitemap.com</a> and I have shared link to it on various platforms. How much traffic I got:<p>- reddit - side project - 4<p>- hacker news - 11 (+2 from different aggregators)<p>- I have added link into 2 communities on Google+ with around 200k people - 3<p>- producthunt - 3<p>- Facebook where I have shared it in group with 5k people - 5<p>- StumbleUpon - 1<p>And I think that I can subtract 1 from these numbers since I have clicked on them myself to test if those links works. :)
I pay people to ghostwrite books for me. I then list them on Amazon and market them. I started 2 years ago and have been putting out about 1 book/mo.<p>Last month I made ~$4.5k
<a href="https://statetable.com" rel="nofollow">https://statetable.com</a><p>~ $30/month from donations covers my Digital Ocean bill for the month.<p>I'm also trying to get some sales & affiliate revenue going with athletic wear designs on Zazzle. Starting with a niche to get rolling then probably expanding to more general designs. The biggest problem I've hit so far is their fulfillment times & prices.

I'm curious as to why you call it a "side hustle"?<p>Is the term "hustle" not extremely negative to you?<p>Merriam-Webster defines "hustle" as to push or shove someone in a rude way.<p>Urban Dictionary says "Anythin you need to do to make money... be it sellin cars, drugs, ya body. If you makin money, you hustlin."<p>Obviously, you don't seem to think that the word "hustle" has negative connotations, so I'm wondering how you came to that view?
