Is there any kind of side hustle that is dirt cheap to start and can make a profit in the first month?

Hey guyz, I’m looking for a side hustle that doesn’t require much upfront investment, maybe something I can start with very little money. Ideally, I’d like to see some profit within the first month. I’m open to ideas in any field. Anyone have suggestions or success stories they can share?

Online surveys. I have $120 banked up right now. You have to put in the work though. Filling in answers takes time.

What platform?

Prolific is the one I use most often. InboxDollars and Swagbucks are okay, too, but I get disqualified from surveys often.

Join a reselling group. You need at least $50 to start quickly, but I recommend having $200-300.

If you’re into the crypto space, you might want to check out DePIN projects. It’s early days, but I use Silencio to measure noise pollution and MapMetrics, a Waze-like app that rewards you for driving. These are free to join but require some knowledge of crypto.

You could create and sell digital products. Writing letters to casinos is another option. Each letter can earn $3-5, and there’s a high cash-out percentage after playing the required games.

Credit repair is what I do.

Affiliate marketing or selling digital products.

Find a niche, create digital products using Canva, and put them in a store like Beacons. Then promote on social media, offering value, not just sales.

I started digital marketing with a $53 investment and made $1k before even paying off the full cost.

A friend of mine started recycling old car batteries for money.

Affiliate marketing is free to start. I have access to 40 hours of free training from an 8-figure earner, covering content creation, YouTube growth, and more.
