Seeking Side Hustle Advice: What to Do with an Extra $1000?

General

Hi all,

I’m currently a student balancing six courses and working part-time (twice a week). I’ve been thinking about starting a side hustle to make some extra income, but I’m feeling a bit lost on where to start. I have an extra $1000 to invest, and I’m considering options like stocks, crypto, or print-on-demand (POD) on Etsy. However, I’ve heard that the POD market is pretty saturated, which has made me hesitant.

I really enjoy video editing and want to learn how to trade and invest, but I also want to explore side hustles that might be a bit less competitive. It seems like every idea I come across has already been done, and I’m looking for something that’s up-and-coming and hasn’t been overdone yet.

If you were in my shoes, what would you do with that extra $1000? Are there any side hustles that you think have potential that I might not have considered?

I sell digital products on Etsy and StanStore! It’s super easy because you can sell the same product over and over, and the whole business can run on autopilot with minimal effort…I’ve been making about $2,000 a month since April doing this.

If you’re interested, I can totally help you get started…

You can totally start selling digital products on your website.
Trust me, it’s a big deal. You only need around $1,000 to get started, and you just have to figure out how to create or gather digital products that fit your target customers.

I kicked off this business with just $9, and believe it or not, I made $1,298 in just 35 days! I’m serious…you just need to know the steps to take. In this digital age, selling digital products is the way to go. So, $1,000 is more than enough to start. If you want, I can help guide you through it!

I totally get that it’s hard to find something unique these days. But have you thought about using your video editing skills? You could offer freelance video editing services on platforms like Fiverr or Upwork. With a bit of marketing and your skills, you could earn some good side income, especially since video content is really in demand right now. Just a thought!
