- I'm going to try making $10,000 over the next 30 days
using the most popular side hustles on YouTube.
And some YouTubers are even claiming
that you can make up to $5,000 per day
using some of these methods.
So my biggest question is,
is if we can make so much money doing it,
then why aren't they doing it themselves?
Something seems a little fishy.
But despite my suspicions, I'm going to give
10 of the most popular side hustles on YouTube
the best effort I can
and if I can make $10,000 in a month time,
I will give away one of these money-generating assets
to someone in the comments who also likes this video.
Okay, so the first side hustle.
- What if I told you that it were possible
for you to make between five to $10,000
per day on YouTube without having to do much work at all
by posting ambient video?
- [Presenter] So it's day one
and I'm going to be making two faceless YouTube channels
in the hopes of that one of these videos
will get picked up by the YouTube algorithm
and we can make some ad revenue coming from these videos.
Now, I'm upping the stakes
because we only have 30 days to do this,
so I'm going to be hiring the top freelancer online
that helps with faceless YouTube editors
so that way we'll really know if this works or not.
And after meeting with him today, this is the strategy.
We're going to be starting two channels
in the outer space niche and the self-help niche.
And I'm taking it even one step further
and we're buying these channels already monetized,
meaning that we don't have to go through the hoops
that YouTube creates to monetize a YouTube channel.
So if a video takes off, we'll immediately get paid for it.
And currently, I have 10 videos being made on each channel.
So let's check back in a month's time
to see how this actually plays out.
It's currently day two and we're about to start
our next side hustle, Etsy drop-shipping.
And the plan here is that we're going to be using
some copyright-free images to put on shirts to sell on Etsy.
And then, once those sell, we'll be using print-on-demand
to have those shipped to the customer.
And the advantage here is that
because we're not buying the shirts in bulk,
we get to test out a bunch of different designs
to see which ones sell first to help us
avoid losing a lot of money
and scale this business up quicker.
Now, there seems to be a misunderstanding
with some of us here on this YouTube channel.
Some of you think that this is my only way of making money
by making YouTube videos.
And I think that's a fair assumption
being that there are so many people
who talk about making money on YouTube
who actually aren't making money.
That's a fair assumption.
However, if I were to just rely on
what I was making on YouTube, I really couldn't live life.
As you can see,
this is how much ad revenue I've made over the last year.
However, the way I make most of my money
is running other businesses, mainly e-commerce.
And I've been selling online since 2010
and I've almost sold $9 million in revenue collectively.
I say all of this because setting up
an Etsy print-on-demand shop should be in my skillset.
I have the background, so if there's anyone who could do it,
I feel like it could be me.
So I'm commissioning some AI artwork right now
and let's check back in 30 days to see how our shop does.
It's day number three
and we're starting side hustle number three,
Facebook drop-shipping where we'll be listing things
on Facebook Marketplace found on eBay and Amazon,
similar to this Bob Ross plush
and once they sell on Facebook Marketplace,
we get to keep the profit.
Now, this is something I've done in the past,
but I wanna start a new store to see how this goes
starting from scratch.
I've seen Facebook Marketplace stores
start all over the place.
Sometimes they take off really quickly,
and other times I've seen stores listed for months
and they get no sale.
So I'm interested to see how this goes.
Now, this is the first side hustle
where we're going to have to spend money to make money.
However, we only have to spend the money
once something actually sells, which is good.
So let's check back in 30 days to see how much
or if we even sold anything.
Now, I still have some time left today
and I want to start the next side hustle,
which is setting up an AI ad agency.
Now, this is a really popular side hustle here on YouTube
with some YouTube channels starting with zero subs
and now they have over a hundred thousand subscribers
just talking about this one business model.
Now, this is something that I'm really excited to try
because it does seem like such an emerging industry
with artificial intelligence playing more of a role
in businesses' future day by day.
And what I'm going to try and do with my ad agency
is try to find businesses in my local area
that I can help automate their processes
so save money as well as get leads and customers
so help them make money at the same time.
So I created a website called Mindful Media
and I'm going to be having someone overseas
reach out to businesses in my area
via cold messaging and Instagram ads.
My ticket price per business is $1,500 to start
with 30 days worth of work.
And I'm using someone I found on OnlineJobs,
another freelancing site,
to help me do all of this cold messaging.
So let's check back on day 30 to see how this all goes.
It's day number four
and we're going to be trying the next side hustle,
which will be testing websites that advertise
that we can make money by doing different tasks.
And these tasks can range from reading books
to translating English to even losing weight.
However, I've done a video on these sites before
and when testing these out with my team,
we could only get up to where we were making
about $15 an hour doing these.
But that's why today with the help
of a few members of my team, we're going to test out
around 10 different websites to see
how much money can we actually make,
if any, doing these websites.
And I am a bit skeptical.
And that's exactly what we did over the next three days.
Collectively, me and my team put in about 20 hours
across eight different sites,
which is just under about three hours per site.
And here were the top ones that I could talk about
in this video.
There's Validately, which is a site that pays you
to take tests on these,
which one of these we were able to make about $6 per hour.
And then another site we had luck with was rev.com,
a transcription website
that I actually used here for YouTube.
And we were able to get a job
for $15 for about an hour's worth of work.
However, only one person on the team
actually landed a gig here, resulting in an extra $55
to the added total.
The next side hustle is crypto passive income.
So if you're new here,
I talk about investing in cryptocurrency.
And one of the things I do
with the cryptocurrency that I invest in
is I use that crypto to make more passive income
with crypto.
In summary, this is how this works.
Because cryptocurrency eliminates the middlemen,
it requires individuals and businesses like us
to interact with their networks,
which in turn help us make money.
And this interaction could be anything
from lending other people crypto,
it could be hosting their network
so their network can function,
and there's several other ways
you could make passive income with crypto.
But for this video,
I'm not going to be deploying any new money
into this side hustle.
I currently have around $10,000 staked
or set aside for making passive income with crypto.
And over the last 30 days,
I've made about $410 on that 10,000 bucks,
which was about 4% last month, which is pretty good.
But it's one of those things
where it takes money to make money.
And there are ways you can make passive income
with crypto using a lot less money, getting higher returns,
but those higher returns come with much more risk.
But one side hustle I'm really excited for to start today
is something that I've actually done before
several years ago,
I just don't know how it's gonna hold up now,
and that is retail arbitrage.
Okay, so I'm here in the parking lot
of the store that I've gone to in the past
that I've had a lot of success with.
So let's go ahead and see what I can find.
I'm going to be using a tool called Seller Amp
to scan things to see what we can find profitability on
and I'll throw some screenshots up of what that looks like
when I'm scanning in the store.
But let's see what I can find here in Bargain Mart.
So after scanning for about 30 minutes,
I found a pet product I can make about $10 each on
after shipping and prep,
which are important fees to calculate,
which is about $200 profit on $200 spend.
And this actually went so good,
I'm going to pay someone to start doing this for me
in my area.
Now, I won't be adding any more of the income total
to this video,
but I think it's definitely a viable way to make money
if you're in a populated area with discount stores.
So it's the end of day number nine
and the side hustle I focused on today
was finding a new wholesale deal
that I can buy in bulk to sell online.
So with retail arbitrage, what I did yesterday,
we went to the retail store to find discounts,
but today I'm trying to find someone
that sells to the retail store.
And after sending a few messages in my network,
I was able to find a 200 unit order
that I can spend $8,800 on
that can bring me back about 4,000 bucks.
Now, there are two problems with this.
The first is, is as you can see, this isn't a simple
you can start with $0.
It takes money to make money.
The second is is that this is kind of cheating.
This is a network that I've built up
over the last five years.
The only reason I'm counting this
is because one, this is a new Amazon account
and two, this is a new wholesale order so this is brand new,
I started this today, I just started asking around.
However, this is going to be great to add
to the total towards the end of the month.
And this leads me into the next side hustle,
which is flipping things from eBay to Amazon.
And all I'm going to be doing here
is using a software called Flipmine to find products
that are cheaper on eBay that sell better on Amazon.
And I've tried this before in the past,
but I really want to see if I can build a system around this
to see if we can make some money.
So I'm dedicating an entire day to building a system
and let's see what happens at the end of day 30
to see how much money I can actually make.
And that's exactly what we did.
Over the next 21 days,
I worked and tweaked on these different side hustles
and here are the results.
Okay, guys, it's day 30 and the wait is over.
Let's see what the results are, here it is.
So the two faceless YouTube channels,
we ended up posting eight videos to each one.
We made exactly $0.
And honestly, we actually even lost money
because I had to pay $500
for these two already monetized YouTube channels.
So we're actually in the hole negative 500 bucks.
So as this was advertised
as an easy way to make $5,000 today, it's anything but that.
And keep in mind too
is I already have experience here on YouTube.
I have six years of making videos and studying thumbnails.
I helped tweak their videos for better audience retention
and thumbnails, and it still didn't work out.
Next up, our Etsy print-on-demand store, how did that do?
Well, we set up a couple dozen designs.
We even ran $1 ads to the actual store
and we made about $100 in sales, so about five shirt sales.
But because I had the designs outsourced,
we actually lost another a hundred dollars on that too.
So we're negative 600 bucks after those two side hustles.
Now, with the Facebook drop-shipping store,
we were actually able to get some traction on that one.
So over the last 25 days, we've done $300 in profit
and of that $300 in profit,
we had to spend $900 to get the 300 bucks.
So we made the $900 back plus $300.
However, I outsourced that as well.
Of the $300 profit, I had to give 25% of that
to the person that I brought on
so I only made 240 bucks to add to the total.
So this is something that I've made about $25,000 on
over the last couple of years.
So I do want to give this store a shot.
I think 30 days is too quick to pull the curtain on,
but I do want to see how this goes.
But what about the AI ad agency?
That was one that I was really excited about.
So over the last three and a half weeks,
we've sent 500 cold messages
and unfortunately, over the last three weeks,
I didn't get anyone to commit to this.
However, I do think that this is something
that I need to put more time into
and something that I'm going to stick at.
So counting those income streams,
plus the ones that I already talked about,
we're at $4,400 for the month.
But the last income stream
is going to pick up some of the slack,
and that is selling from eBay to Amazon.
And doing that, I was able to make an additional $4,700
over the last 30 days, taking my total to just over $9,000.
making money online is not easy.
And if there is a way of making money online
without developing a skillset first,
And something else I wanted to announce
This means that in 30 days with us, whatever you make,
you get to keep.
where you can apply
called The Side Hustle Society,
where there's over six hours of free training
and other like-minded entrepreneurs
that you can talk with down below.
Making money online isn't easy,
but that's honestly what gets me excited
because if it was easy, everybody could do it.
