Unique Ways to Earn Extra Money
Looking for interesting ways to boost your income? Here are some unique ideas that go beyond the usual job options.
Repossession: The Legal Car Heist
At 21, I wanted to try unconventional ways to earn. When my brother's towing business started repossessing cars, I jumped at the chance to become a "repo man." It felt like a legal version of car theft, with plenty of motivation to succeed since we got paid per vehicle. While the thrill was real?"complete with chase scenes and close calls?"there are safer ways to earn extra cash.
Selling for Profit
One winter, while camping at a desert hot spring, my wife and I met a man who sold used stuffed animals by the highway. He sourced them from thrift stores, sometimes even getting them for free, and later returned with either money or unsold items. Some towns offer cheap vendor permits (as low as $18/year), and he set up until he was moved along. He claimed to sell $4,000 in his first month. Inspired by him, we successfully sold used stuffed animals at flea markets.
Walking sticks proved even more profitable. I crafted them quickly using recycled leather for handgrips, costing about 50 cents each to make, and sold them for $6 to $26. During flea market trips, we learned why people collected discarded items from curbs during cleanup events. They found radios, furniture, toys, and more, which they sold for a small fee at flea markets, offsetting costs and making a profit.
Investing in Business Ventures
I used to finance car purchases for friends knowledgeable about vehicles. For instance, my brother spotted a repossessed truck for $900, knowing it was worth at least $2,000. I funded the purchase, and the truck sold for $2,100. After expenses, we split a $900 profit, giving me $450?"a solid return on a $900 investment within ten days.
A friend of mine found incredible deals on used restaurant equipment. If he had expanded his search beyond his coffee shop's needs, he could have easily earned hundreds weekly by buying and reselling items like ovens and coolers.
The key to success in these ventures is not necessarily knowing the value of items, but partnering with someone who does. You invest your money, they supply the expertise, and you both share in the profits?"one of the simplest ways to earn extra money.
