5 Side Hustles That Promised $500/day That I Tried (HONEST OPINION)

  • The gurus will tell you every side hustle can make you $300 or $500 per day. While it looks great on videos, are these numbers realistic?
    I've tried a ton of different side hustles and online business in order to make a full time living. In this video I cover 5 that I've tried that should earn me hundreds of dollars per day.
    The 5 side hustles I tried:
    1. Etsy Print on Demand (I love Etsy for selling printables and templates so I gave POD a try too!)
    2. UA-cam Channels (this is one of my most successful side hustles - I'm technically a full time UA-camr!)
    3. Dropshipping (I love Shopify for selling products I've created so I gave dropshipping a whirl!)
    4. Amazon Influencer Program (I tried this out in 2023 and spent 6 months learning how to do it well!)
    5. Money Making Apps & Surveys (This side hustle is not a huge earner but it definitely hits the spot in certain situations)

    Love your content because im currently building my YT channel, brand and other platforms. Its a lot! The thing for me is finding low cost / no cost tools and understanding and following the TOS for each platform. Luckily i got all my platforms with the same name for 2 "businesses " - i think thats a big help for people following. I'm also allowing donations - meaning - some people say they dont want to ask for $ - but i provide the info and let the viewer decide. Thanks for a realistic video on the make money quick angle.

    This was helpful! I’ve always wondered how honest people are about that drop shipping stuff? 😂
    I have never even heard of the Amazon influencer one.

    • @CreateWithPennies

      You can definitely make money doing it, but most people are also lying about how much and what they have personally made. Also it was very different several years ago and much easier to make the money before people knew to go directly to aliexpress or Temu and buy whatever you’re selling.
      Amazon influencer has been fun! I actually made a mini course on how to do it since it’s been so successful.

    I've watched a few of these "Side hustle's I've tried and here are the results" videos, and I can honestly say yours is the best I've seen so far. I do have a question about the Amazon Influencer program. Does this involve creating a video product review and putting it on the Amazon page of that product? Is this the specific thing that you did as a way to make money? I'm asking because this is something I had been thinking about doing... IF I am able to get enough followers and qualify for it. I don't want to waste my time on it if there isn't a decent enough chance to make a living at posting product review videos on the Amazon product pages.

    • @CreateWithPennies

      Yes, basically. But it doesn’t have to be review videos… could be demos, comparisons, installation tips, top 10 lists, etc. most people just say reviews but it is any kind of shoppable video.
      Honestly making a living on it is difficult and only a few people manage that. I’ve heard of maybe a handful.
      It was definitely easier a few years ago before new people flooded it and put up a lot of content that all competes for the same spots. Your video will get cycled in and out of spots on pages. For example one of my best earners made $1,500 in one month but then other videos took the spot and now some months it earns $200, some $0. You have very little control over that.
      I do make money but more like $50 a day vs $500. If you could use an extra $300-$1,000 a month then it’s worth trying out. But if you have to start social media from scratch just to get approved you will be working for a while without reward in my honest opinion.

    The TV advertisements for Poshmark - anyone doing resale will debunk this. The ad makes it look like you clean out your closet, list your stuff then it sells. Nope - has to be almost new, trending brands / high end brands - then all the key words - then its saturated so you're competing with others. AND - buyers practically want items for free, with free shipping then try to return using false claims.100% - reselling items from Ali Express - used to do that years ago.

    they are much harder to anyone that is not tech savvy I'm having such a hard time finding something simple online for money it's rediculous

    • @CreateWithPennies
      @CreateWithPennies  28 днів тому

      They are hard if you don’t have some basic tech savvy. Most have a learning curve AND don’t earn instantly. I usually think it’s a better choice for people with no tech savvy to do in person side hustles instead.

      You can start making money with 1,000 subscribers from Adsense or even less if you monetize in other ways!

    This video is kind of a downer on several methods. The reality is even the best opportunity won't work out for you if it seems like a downer and you dont like doing it or aren't interested. Every opportunity thats going to make you thousands per month is going to require hard work at some point.

    • @CreateWithPennies
      @CreateWithPennies  10 днів тому +2

      That’s the point… none of them are super easy to make thousands from the start like gurus might claim. But all of them are potential money makers. For me some worked and some didn’t and I’m just sharing my personal experience.

      @CreateWithPennies I'm two months in to testing Amazon Influencer and so far seems like the easiest way to make money. Are you still earning passive income from your work last year or did it die off quickly?

    • @CreateWithPennies
      @CreateWithPennies  7 днів тому +1

      It's definitely the easiest to start seeing results quickly. However, it's been hard to scale for a lot of people. I still earn a decent amount but I have more videos and earn less than my previous best months. I've found this to be the case for most people who have been in the program for a while... especially this last month. Most of us have way more videos and are earning 30-60% less. This is likely a mix of the economy and addition of so many new people in the program - more videos on the same products means everyone earns a bit less.

    Hello I watched the film on your UA-cam channel and found it to be quite good. Due to poor SEO, despite having 46.9k subscribers, your videos are not receiving as many views as they should. After careful analysis, I've come to the conclusion that your UA-cam channel isn't getting better. It is in charge of: • Poorly optimising channel videos for search engines; • All of your videos lack quality tags.
    • The channel lacks a suitable tag.
    • The keywords that are used lack adequate research.
    • Videos are not well promoted.
    • The description lacks appeal.
    • Would I like full access to UA-cam? How may I assist you?
