So I was just brainstorming a bit thinking of ways to earn a little extra without the responsibilities of actual employment, meaning you can do it when there’s time and put it on hold if you have to. Personally I like crafting so I could imagine having something like a little etsy store. I could carve beads from wood, antler or bone and turn them into jewelry. Something like that. That wouldn’t just be a way to make money but also sounds like a nice hobby. Not sure how financially feasible it would be though, maybe someone here already has some experience? But yeah I’d love to hear about your ideas/advice. Anything that’s legal and not exploitative, be it entirely independent or also freelancing stuff that doesn’t require special training.
It’s highly recommended that you sell small items anyway. I’ve sold 6 CD’s and a cassette tape this month. Some graphics cards, a motherboard, handheld game system that I repaired, etc. I have a small shelf with my inventory on it. I rarely do larger items, but I think I can sell the dresser in a day or two if it doesn’t work well in my space.
If you have a hobby like video games or card collecting you can buy collections and resell what you don’t want she keep what you do or sell games after you’re done with them. It’s fully scalable so you can put in as much or as little time as you want and pause your listings if you decide to go on vacation.
