5 Weird Side Hustles To Make Money in 2023
I bet a couple of them you never heard.
We all heard that money does not grow on trees, but that doesn’t mean we can not hustle to bring another source of income to the table.
There is a conservative way to make extra income, which is your full-time job. You worked hard all year, and then at the end of the year, ask for a raise or get a merely 2–5% bonus that doesn’t even cover the inflation part.
Almost everyone knows the traditional side hustles: blogging, amazon store, affiliate marketing, etc.
Here are the top 5 weird side hustles to make money or passive income in the long run.
5- Donate plasma
Yes, you read it absolutely right; you can donate your plasma. In fact, it’s in high demand, and the rates are pretty high.
Before you consider donating your plasma, I recommend reading this article. They explain all the pros and cons of why people donate plasma and why it’s safe.
Always do your due diligence and find the best donation center based on multiple factors: reviews, brand name, etc
You are not only making some cash on the side; you can also think that you helped someone by donating your plasma.
4- Rent out your baby equipment
Kids outgrow super fast, and in almost every home, a couple of rooms are always filled with toys. Now the moms can easily pick this side hustle to rent out the used equipment.
Most of the time, people make a garage sale; I would suggest making it a side hustle if you can spare a couple of hours.
This website helps you find potential customers to rent out your kid’s equipments. First, make sure the service is available in your region.
This is a great hack, especially if you’re traveling and do not want to buy the stuff or carry it with you. You can easily rent the baby equipment like renting out a room.
3-Pooper-scooper
This is a really peculiar one, most of the time I saw dog poop in the park. I do not have a dog at the moment, but I think it should be your responsibility to scoop your dog’s poop.
People who don’t like to pick the dog poop. This weird side hustle will help you to make money. On average, a scooper is making $18/h based on the availability of the work in your area.
There are a few companies that help you to get this done. One of them is Poo Crew, which takes care of the weird poopy stuff in the parks.
If the service is available in our area, you will be paid by the yar, and as I mentioned, the average payout is $18/h. You can pick your shifts based on our availability,
2-Sell your hair online
This is a weird one too, but almost everyone heard about it sometime in life. All you need to do is cut your hair and sell; that’s your property growing every day naturally.
There are many online or in-person stores where you can sell the hair. Here is one global one to register and sell your natural product — hairsellon.
It can be lucrative based on your hair length, health, and color. People make a couple of hundred dollars as long as their hair is longer than 6 inches.
There is a possibility of making a whopping $4000+ if and only if your hair is not damaged by using the chemical products. All the best and sell your hair, of course, if you like to make some extra cash on the side.
1-Rent out your hard drive
What if I tell you that you can rent your extra storage by using a couple of websites and make some extra cash on the side. If you have a spare hard drive, you can rent it too.
Here are a couple of sites, Sia & Storj, to help you connect your hard drives to a cloud to make extra income. The earning potential depends on how much storage you have and how long it’s available.
You have to keep your hard drive on and connected with the network all the time.
You can make a $4 to $90+ per month on average based on your hard drive space.
Cloud computing is growing every single day. I lost all of my data back in 2016 when a bulger broke into my house and stole all my DSLR camera, hard drive, USB, laptop, and some cash.
I had 10+ years of memories on that hard drive. Everything was replaceable except that hard drive.
Now you do not need to worry about storing your valuable content online. I use Google Drive for almost everything is it working out like magic for me.
Conclusion
I am a huge fan of side hustles, always encourage friends and family to start one if they have some time. You never know you might flip your side hustle to a full-time living.
I did not try any of these; that’s the data based on research. Please do your due diligence before you start.
