- 0:59Speaker 3: something I think we all need. I'm back sired and
- 1:02Speaker 3: expect things to be a little bit rogue today because
- 1:05Speaker 3: Victoria is not here and when the cat's away. The
- 1:08Speaker 3: mice will play.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Now Wow up to.
- 1:14Speaker 3: A suck start, So we couldn't actually do this episode
- 1:18Speaker 3: without our side Hustle queen of course, Jess Ricky.
- 1:23Speaker 2: It's going to be unhinged, and it's.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Gonna be a little bit unhinge, that's for sure. We
- 1:28Speaker 3: probably won't even talk about the topic of the episode.
- 1:31Speaker 2: I fear we may get sidetracked. I'm so sorry everybody,
- 1:33Speaker 2: but hopefully you enjoy the ride, as they say, hopefully
- 1:36Speaker 2: we do. We know things are so tough right now,
- 1:38Speaker 2: and we get asked all the time about advice that
- 1:41Speaker 2: we have on ways people can make some extra cash.
- 1:43Speaker 2: And we did a great episode last year on how
- 1:46Speaker 2: to find your Perfect side Hustle, which we will link
- 1:48Speaker 2: in the show notes. But this episode, we're getting nosy.
- 1:51Speaker 2: We asked the community for clever ways to make some
- 1:53Speaker 2: extra cash and they did not disappoint. So if you're
- 1:57Speaker 2: hoping to make some more money, this episode is going
- 1:59Speaker 2: to be for you.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Today is all about clover aways. The community are making
- 2:03Speaker 3: cash that aren't just doing surveys or collecting cans, although
- 2:06Speaker 3: they are very good, Yeah, wait to.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Make money as they don't not collecting cans Because I
- 2:11Speaker 2: love it, and so does Melinda because she wrote in
- 2:13Speaker 2: and said, we just saved our way to Disneyland by
- 2:16Speaker 2: baby sitting and collecting cans. It took us two years,
- 2:20Speaker 2: but we did it. Oh my gosh, so big snaps
- 2:22Speaker 2: to Melinda, and I fear I'm about to start asking
- 2:24Speaker 2: everybody that I mean, if I can have their cans.
- 2:27Speaker 2: I would like to go to Disneyland.
- 2:29Speaker 3: I've been asking people if I can have their cans,
- 2:32Speaker 3: but once the motory. So my first one comes from Jennifer,
- 2:36Speaker 3: who says, I'm a nurse that works in operating theaters.
- 2:38Speaker 3: That is cool, It's really cool. I make scrub hats
- 2:42Speaker 3: for operating theaters. I started selling on Etsy six years
- 2:45Speaker 3: ago and have made forty two thousand dollars. Oh that
- 2:49Speaker 3: is insane. I sell them all over the world. Due
- 2:51Speaker 3: to the amount I make weekly, I cut down the
- 2:53Speaker 3: hours that I do at the hospital and it is profitable.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Takes a lot of work, but it pays better than nursing.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's incredible. That's incredible and sad.
- 3:02Speaker 3: That nursing doesn't.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Oh pay the nurses more.
- 3:04Speaker 3: For the love of God and seriously dominated industries.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Fear, I say is it a debate for another episode.
- 3:14Speaker 2: I feel I feeink Jennifer's done a really good job
- 3:16Speaker 2: of spotting a gap in a market. When you said
- 3:18Speaker 2: making the hats that they wear, yea caps, I'm picturing
- 3:21Speaker 2: like a little stylish like she's made it fun somehow,
- 3:23Speaker 2: like a fun scrub. I love a fun scrub.
- 3:25Speaker 3: I think it's really really cool. I would even buy one.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Yeah, And they're something to be said. I think, for
- 3:30Speaker 2: especially if you work in an industry, being able to
- 3:32Speaker 2: identify a gap, because I think the most successful products
- 3:36Speaker 2: or services do identify a problem that you then solve
- 3:40Speaker 2: or yes, like as something that's missing that you go, oh,
- 3:42Speaker 2: I would love to have this. I'd love to have
- 3:44Speaker 2: a fun cap to wear in surgery. That is so true.
- 3:47Speaker 3: And also for like if you're working in I mean
- 3:50Speaker 3: not to say it's only children that would enjoy like
- 3:52Speaker 3: a cap with flowers, because I feel like my day
- 3:53Speaker 3: would be brightened. Yeah, but I just think, you know,
- 3:55Speaker 3: little things like that that really make people happy are
- 3:58Speaker 3: the extra mile for sure.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Yeah, that is so cool. God on you, Jennifer. Next,
- 4:02Speaker 2: I've got one from Alisha, which is so smart. She said,
- 4:05Speaker 2: I have a second job where I work at events,
- 4:08Speaker 2: usually the ones that I want to go to. It's
- 4:10Speaker 2: very casual, so I only do what I can. But
- 4:12Speaker 2: for example, this weekend I went and I watched Ed
- 4:14Speaker 2: Sheeran and I was paid for it. Everything I make
- 4:17Speaker 2: goes straight to offset, but I can use it guilt
- 4:19Speaker 2: free if something comes up. I'm employed by an agency
- 4:22Speaker 2: called v I people very clever hover and then B
- 4:26Speaker 2: said she does the same thing and for the last
- 4:28Speaker 2: year she got three hundred dollars after tax and she
- 4:31Speaker 2: does it through Event Logistics Australia. Amazing.
- 4:34Speaker 3: You've done this before with yeah, music concerts and festivals
- 4:36Speaker 3: and stuff, right, You've said yes, But I usually do
- 4:38Speaker 3: like Volley things, so it's like not paid, but you
- 4:41Speaker 3: do get a free ticket to like, you know, Meredith
- 4:42Speaker 3: or something like that.
- 4:43Speaker 2: So that is really cool.
- 4:45Speaker 3: My beautiful girlfriend, yes, works for Styling Australia, so they
- 4:49Speaker 3: will It's very very similar. It sounds like they're kind
- 4:52Speaker 3: of just like you'll get shifts and go to concerts
- 4:54Speaker 3: or you know, things like that. So that is really
- 4:56Speaker 3: really fun. So this next one is from Amy and
- 4:59Speaker 3: I've kind of always wanted about doing this, so she's
- 5:01Speaker 3: she's got all the intel Amy says, I do mystery shopping.
- 5:05Speaker 3: I'm on five different sites and I do two to
- 5:07Speaker 3: four each week. I average about one hundred and twenty
- 5:09Speaker 3: dollars per week. The actual shop takes about ten minutes usually,
- 5:13Speaker 3: and then twenty to fill out the survey after I can.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Easily take bub with me.
- 5:19Speaker 3: So cute. Good for supplementing when I'm on a mat leave.
- 5:22Speaker 3: She says the best sites for it is Mystery Customer
- 5:25Speaker 3: and also snooper app a low barrier for entry and
- 5:29Speaker 3: quick easy jobs available. It's a really great idea.
- 5:32Speaker 2: I always think, like, can you stack the Like how
- 5:34Speaker 2: good would it be if it's like we're doing a
- 5:35Speaker 2: weekly roy Story shop anyway totally and then you know,
- 5:38Speaker 2: if the shopping center you're going to has one or
- 5:40Speaker 2: two places that you can then also mystery shop. Yeah,
- 5:43Speaker 2: that sounds like my sweet treat has just been paid for.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's a good. Yeah, that's so true. Next,
- 5:48Speaker 2: I've got one from Creative Queen Cats and her tip
- 5:51Speaker 2: is learn to braid with colors. She says, I always
- 5:54Speaker 2: knew how to braid, and I did some quick crash
- 5:55Speaker 2: courses from YouTube, started doing it during the school holidays
- 5:58Speaker 2: and was constantly booked out. Now I offer party packages
- 6:02Speaker 2: and do school breads. Oh cute, It's very fun. Yeah,
- 6:06Speaker 2: braiding is a really good skill to have. I'll tell
- 6:08Speaker 2: you what I never learned saying, and I always wish
- 6:12Speaker 2: that I had, like when you're oh, I just wish
- 6:14Speaker 2: I could pull back, and I feel like a braid
- 6:15Speaker 2: always looks so chic.
- 6:16Speaker 3: I was dating s girl once and I want to
- 6:18Speaker 3: impress our friends. Whe I said I could, And then
- 6:19Speaker 3: the next morning they came and found me and said,
- 6:21Speaker 3: I'm reading my braid and I did a really really
- 6:24Speaker 3: bad jobs because I don't actually do it. So I
- 6:27Speaker 3: recommend learning.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Before you make that clall, you always start a business
- 6:31Speaker 2: like a large group of people. So good on your cat.
- 6:34Speaker 2: That's amazing.
- 6:35Speaker 3: It seems like they'd be like quite a bit of money,
- 6:37Speaker 3: especially like in kids' parties or things like that.
- 6:40Speaker 2: It's a great idea.
- 6:41Speaker 3: I think this is a great time to have a
- 6:43Speaker 3: little break, and when we get back, we've got so
- 6:45Speaker 3: many more smart ways to make some extra cash. So
- 6:47Speaker 3: don't go anywhere.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Welcome back everybody. Today we are talking all things side hustle,
- 6:55Speaker 2: one of my personal favorite topics, and whenever the topic
- 6:57Speaker 2: of side hustles comes up. Etsy is always mentioned, and
- 7:01Speaker 2: I've wondered whether it's worth that. I've seen a lot
- 7:02Speaker 2: of people on TikTok doing those. Here's how much money
- 7:05Speaker 2: I made on Etsy selling party templates or whatever. If
- 7:08Speaker 2: you were wondering like I was, we had a community
- 7:11Speaker 2: member say, a few years ago, I made some PDFs
- 7:14Speaker 2: and list them on Etsy. I forgot that I did it.
- 7:16Speaker 2: I checked it about twelve months later, and I had
- 7:18Speaker 2: made five grand. WHOA, isn't that crazy? Yeah? I think
- 7:24Speaker 2: when I think about you, I've bought on Etsy all
- 7:26Speaker 2: kinds of things. I've bought templates, people buy cleaning schedules
- 7:29Speaker 2: and people by you know, party templates and almost anything
- 7:33Speaker 2: in a penf The videos that I would see on
- 7:35Speaker 2: TikTok would kind of say, oh, you make it once
- 7:38Speaker 2: in like a canva or something, and you upload it
- 7:40Speaker 2: and then if anybody happens to be looking for it.
- 7:43Speaker 2: I mean, it costs you nothing really to host it there.
- 7:46Speaker 2: And then oh my god, I was gonna say free money,
- 7:49Speaker 2: but you've earned it, so maybe not not a bad idea.
- 7:52Speaker 3: That's incredible, Okay, I'm going to be doing that for sure,
- 7:55Speaker 3: right what you design.
- 7:57Speaker 2: You are very creative. Thank you so much.
- 7:59Speaker 3: Well, I have like done my own bunch of things,
- 8:01Speaker 3: like I made a very specific exercise program for myself
- 8:06Speaker 3: that I like make on canvas with all the nice
- 8:09Speaker 3: colors and things like that, and so I'm like, maybe
- 8:10Speaker 3: I just chuck that up there and see, can you
- 8:13Speaker 3: let's pop it up and we can see, like.
- 8:17Speaker 2: That's so cool. Oh my god.
- 8:20Speaker 3: Okay, this next one is a stereotypical response to people
- 8:24Speaker 3: who want extra cash, and one of the community members
- 8:27Speaker 3: have come through with the inside information about what it's
- 8:29Speaker 3: actually like stacking shelves in the supermarket.
- 8:33Speaker 2: I want me to do this.
- 8:34Speaker 3: What's it called nightfil I think it was called Yeah,
- 8:36Speaker 3: it always sounded so satisfying, you know. So this person
- 8:40Speaker 3: says they did nightfil Oh my god, nightfild and they
- 8:43Speaker 3: do twelve hours a week and that nets them three
- 8:45Speaker 3: hundred and twenty dollars. They're usually about three to five
- 8:47Speaker 3: hour long shifts and sometimes they end up with about
- 8:49Speaker 3: twenty four thousand dollars annually. Is what this person's set
- 8:53Speaker 3: to be earning by the end of this year, which
- 8:55Speaker 3: is incredible. They said, you can apply on the calls
- 8:58Speaker 3: or wal words website, but their inside tip was to
- 9:01Speaker 3: go into the store and introduce yourself after you apply,
- 9:03Speaker 3: to stand out from the high volume of applicants, say,
- 9:06Speaker 3: get it's incredible idea. Some other perks that you can
- 9:08Speaker 3: get about thirty dollars per hour with penalties, get a
- 9:11Speaker 3: staff discout on groceries, and you can listen to a
- 9:13Speaker 3: podcast while doing it.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Perfectly that She's in the Money podcast. Man. Probably unfortunately
- 9:18Speaker 2: you can only listen to She's the Money Podcast. Wait,
- 9:20Speaker 2: that's a rule. I feel like I would love night
- 9:23Speaker 2: feel simply for the fact of I'm done with my
- 9:25Speaker 2: customer service day totally, like I did ten plus years
- 9:29Speaker 2: of customer service and I just fear it. I can't
- 9:32Speaker 2: go back. But now I feel it's just you, maybe
- 9:34Speaker 2: a couple of people in your team, and you literally
- 9:36Speaker 2: just stocking up the shelves. I know, I would really
- 9:39Speaker 2: love to do that.
- 9:40Speaker 3: That's what my mum said when she was doing it.
- 9:43Speaker 3: She was like, it's so peaceful because they close the shop,
- 9:45Speaker 3: no one's coming up to you. You're chucking your songs
- 9:47Speaker 3: on and there's something about like I play those games
- 9:50Speaker 3: where you have to stock shells anyway, Yeah, so I'm
- 9:52Speaker 3: like the satisfaction of spinning them all to face the
- 9:55Speaker 3: right way, pushing them all to the front.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Or do you see that moment on TikTok? She is American.
- 10:01Speaker 2: She goes into like a dollar tree or a Walmart
- 10:03Speaker 2: and she'll just fix the shelves and she like lines
- 10:05Speaker 2: it all up perfectly. That's the side of TikTok that
- 10:08Speaker 2: I want. I love it. That sounds right. It feels
- 10:11Speaker 2: right for you, It really does. The next one is
- 10:14Speaker 2: for the people who have a specialist subject area. So
- 10:17Speaker 2: we had a community member say they were marking assignments
- 10:20Speaker 2: at their local university. They said they average a payout
- 10:23Speaker 2: of about seventy five dollars per student per semester, so
- 10:26Speaker 2: in three months they can earn between four or five
- 10:28Speaker 2: thousand dollars, depending on the enrollment numbers and how many
- 10:31Speaker 2: courses they take on. Each assignment takes about fifteen to
- 10:34Speaker 2: twenty minutes to mark, and usually students have two to
- 10:37Speaker 2: three assignments per paper, so it works out to be
- 10:39Speaker 2: around seventy five dollars an hour. Wow. The bonus is
- 10:43Speaker 2: that it isn't work that they do all the time,
- 10:45Speaker 2: only when the assignments are due. Across the semester and
- 10:48Speaker 2: they said that they have a degree in the subject
- 10:50Speaker 2: that they're marking, so you know, that's how they kind
- 10:52Speaker 2: of got the JH. That's a shame. It never occurred
- 10:56Speaker 2: to me that it wasn't the teachers marking the papers. Yeah,
- 10:59Speaker 2: not that I've been university or I would know. But yeah,
- 11:02Speaker 2: that's such a cool idea. That's work from home in
- 11:05Speaker 2: your jammies, put something fun on TV. Fun that's really good.
- 11:10Speaker 2: And if you've got a specialist knowledge. So many people
- 11:13Speaker 2: say I've done a degree and I feel like I'm
- 11:15Speaker 2: not using my degree. Yeah, maybe this is a way
- 11:17Speaker 2: to use your degree. That's it.
- 11:19Speaker 4: That's it.
- 11:19Speaker 3: That's a fantastic idea.
- 11:21Speaker 2: I love that.
- 11:22Speaker 3: A popular side hustle in the community is disability support work.
- 11:25Speaker 3: So we have a few people who say they were
- 11:27Speaker 3: doing that. One person in particular said they do one
- 11:30Speaker 3: weekend a fortnight Friday through to Sunday, and last year
- 11:33Speaker 3: they made forty thousand dollars before tax doing this. Some
- 11:37Speaker 3: other tips for this kind of work was that you
- 11:39Speaker 3: can make more money if you have an ABN rather
- 11:41Speaker 3: than going through an agency. But if you do want
- 11:44Speaker 3: to help getting clients, the platform Mabel was mentioned a
- 11:46Speaker 3: few times Tash in Best.
- 11:48Speaker 2: She's like a friend of the show. She used to
- 11:50Speaker 2: be a disability support worker and she posted a lot
- 11:52Speaker 2: about it. It was really interesting. She would do a
- 11:54Speaker 2: lot of I think like overnight shifts and stuff like that.
- 11:57Speaker 2: And that's what I found really fascinating, is like, I
- 12:00Speaker 2: also have a friend who does this, And she said
- 12:02Speaker 2: there's been times where her disability support work has included
- 12:05Speaker 2: like going for a walk with the person, or taking
- 12:08Speaker 2: them out and about running some errands, going somewhere fun,
- 12:11Speaker 2: or staying the night being there in case they need something.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Obviously there's a lot of hard work that goes into
- 12:15Speaker 2: it as well. I don't want to trivialize it, but
- 12:18Speaker 2: she's said before that, Yeah, it's really fun to keep
- 12:21Speaker 2: things different and moving, and you get to really engage
- 12:24Speaker 2: with someone and feel like you're being a part of
- 12:26Speaker 2: their life, being really useful. I'm someone who loves to
- 12:29Speaker 2: be useful, so that is very appealing to me. And yeah,
- 12:32Speaker 2: it just sounds like a really fulfilling job. Although I
- 12:34Speaker 2: have heard it can also be taxing, but very flexible.
- 12:37Speaker 2: It sounds like I love that. That's such a great idea.
- 12:40Speaker 2: The next one I've got is one that you should
- 12:43Speaker 2: be doing back with your gym memberships, have any yet
- 12:46Speaker 2: at the moment. Two that's not so bad?
- 12:48Speaker 1: Not so bad.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Well, I think you're gonna like this one. Okay. Had
- 12:52Speaker 2: someone say that they became a group fitness instructor. Okay,
- 12:56Speaker 2: they make about an extra thousand dollars a month teaching
- 12:59Speaker 2: five classes a week. They said, I would have done
- 13:01Speaker 2: those classes anyway as a participant, but I now also
- 13:04Speaker 2: get four gym memberships for free. There are some upfront
- 13:07Speaker 2: costs to get trained and ongoing costs for music and
- 13:10Speaker 2: things like that. But they're really enjoying it and have
- 13:12Speaker 2: chosen a program where there's plenty of work. They could
- 13:15Speaker 2: be doing two or three more classes a week if
- 13:17Speaker 2: they wanted to. And they said they teach variations of
- 13:20Speaker 2: cycle and spin classes. This is a great idea. I
- 13:23Speaker 2: thought about this for polarty. Sometimes I'm like, SHO, just
- 13:25Speaker 2: do my PARLARTI certification to like know how to do
- 13:29Speaker 2: my own plarties and then also you know, to be
- 13:31Speaker 2: able to teach it if you wanted to as well.
- 13:32Speaker 3: That would actually save money if you knew how to
- 13:33Speaker 3: do your own parties. I thought but you got to
- 13:35Speaker 3: buy a machine.
- 13:36Speaker 2: But that's so fine. I would love to have a reform.
- 13:40Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be I like just like slide on it.
- 13:43Speaker 3: Is that the one where you can like the spring
- 13:45Speaker 3: with the spring?
- 13:45Speaker 2: Yeah, I stretch it. I love parties. Oh that's such
- 13:49Speaker 2: a good idea. If there's something that you're wanting to do,
- 13:52Speaker 2: teach it, then you're I mean it depends on the class.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Like spin classes, the instructor is usually doing the exercise
- 13:58Speaker 2: with you. About if I could get through No. Five
- 14:00Speaker 2: in a day, But if you're doing them spread out,
- 14:03Speaker 2: then perfect. And I mean sometimes you know, like a
- 14:06Speaker 2: reformer for example, Generally the instructor is not on a reformer.
- 14:09Speaker 2: They're just working walking around and like helping people, so
- 14:12Speaker 2: you might not have to tax your body quite so
- 14:13Speaker 2: much totally and to be so fun.
- 14:16Speaker 3: I always watch like the BFT trainers and stuff, and like,
- 14:18Speaker 3: I'd love to be just like yelling and screaming at everyone.
- 14:22Speaker 2: Thank you. I would like to think, so you know,
- 14:25Speaker 2: give it your best motivational thing and people can clip
- 14:27Speaker 2: it and make it like their alarm. You are there
- 14:29Speaker 2: right now. Yep, depends on the exercise. I'm struggling it's me. Yeah,
- 14:36Speaker 2: ninety seconds on the clock for this rotation you're doing that.
- 14:38Speaker 2: I'm trying to do this. Yeah, I'm doing the ropes okay,
- 14:41Speaker 2: and I'm ready to give up.
- 14:42Speaker 3: I'm saying next to you, yep, and I'm saying, baby girl,
- 14:45Speaker 3: you got this, and we're doing it together. We're seeing
- 14:48Speaker 3: that together.
- 14:49Speaker 2: You're seeing it with me. Now, baby girl, you got this?
- 14:52Speaker 2: Baby panting as I'm going exactly, I'm so gonna clear that.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Make that my alarm. That's hilarious.
- 14:57Speaker 3: Oh my god, because baby girl, you got this. Okay?
- 15:00Speaker 2: Amen? The backsired coming to a gym near you? Yes,
- 15:04Speaker 2: And also another one I like, wait, I can because
- 15:08Speaker 2: I have to.
- 15:09Speaker 3: Instead of like you know, when you're like you, you
- 15:12Speaker 3: know when you have to get up and go to
- 15:13Speaker 3: the gym and and you're like how do you do it?
- 15:15Speaker 2: How do you get through it?
- 15:16Speaker 3: You're like, well, I can, and I do it because
- 15:19Speaker 3: I have to. There's no discipline involved. I can because
- 15:23Speaker 3: I have to.
- 15:23Speaker 2: And it's like me, I'm going because I paid thirty
- 15:25Speaker 2: five dollars for exactly. That's why I'm exactly exactly.
- 15:31Speaker 3: I should also look into this one from Madison because
- 15:33Speaker 3: I've been doing it at my friend's bar a little bit.
- 15:37Speaker 3: Madison said her second job is hosting.
- 15:39Speaker 2: Trivia two nights a week. You have done this before,
- 15:41Speaker 2: I have, so, she says.
- 15:43Speaker 3: It brings in three hundred dollars a week and she's
- 15:45Speaker 3: using that money to pay for upcoming trip to Italy.
- 15:48Speaker 3: It makes it feel free when it doesn't come from
- 15:51Speaker 3: my main pay, is what she says, which I think
- 15:53Speaker 3: is a great idea. It's so is the case, like,
- 15:55Speaker 3: even if you have cash or something like a little extra,
- 15:57Speaker 3: you've worked purposely for this thing.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Yeah, then it feels like it's free. Do you love
- 16:03Speaker 2: hosting trivia? I really love it. Yeah. Is the crowd
- 16:06Speaker 2: always viby? Have you ever had a dead crowd?
- 16:08Speaker 3: Sometimes I have dead tables, but for the most part,
- 16:11Speaker 3: everyone's pretty like lively. It is a little bit of
- 16:13Speaker 3: a shame when like I'm reading out the answers and
- 16:16Speaker 3: people are like yes, and they're not.
- 16:18Speaker 2: Like you know you when I'm like yellow, I scream
- 16:20Speaker 2: and screaming, you know. But sometimes they're just like, oh, yeah, cool,
- 16:24Speaker 2: got that one. I'm like, no, getting a competitive spirit. Yes, seriously,
- 16:30Speaker 2: it's always so much fun. I really love it. Do
- 16:32Speaker 2: you want to do it. I just participate in a
- 16:34Speaker 2: trivia I love trivia and not I think I'll just
- 16:36Speaker 2: come and enjoy your hosting skills. Okay, but it does,
- 16:39Speaker 2: it looks very fun. I just don't think I'm charismatic
- 16:42Speaker 2: enough for that kind of stuff, do you know what
- 16:43Speaker 2: I mean? I think you've really got to have a
- 16:45Speaker 2: certain genoese qua. I'm not a funny person. I say
- 16:48Speaker 2: this all the time, and that's not true. I'm really
- 16:50Speaker 2: not a funny like. I just couldn't do it. I
- 16:52Speaker 2: don't think that's not true.
- 16:54Speaker 3: Everything you said is incorrect and objectively that you are
- 16:57Speaker 3: charismatic and you actually are very funny.
- 16:58Speaker 2: That's very nice, and I'll be your rowdy table instead. Yes,
- 17:02Speaker 2: that's my journeys, Thank you so much. The next time
- 17:04Speaker 2: that I've got for you is about babysitting and nannying,
- 17:07Speaker 2: which I know is quite a common side hustle, but
- 17:09Speaker 2: I like the little bit of extra insight that this
- 17:11Speaker 2: community member gave us, which was she said she started
- 17:15Speaker 2: babysitting for high income families, She's built rapport with them,
- 17:19Speaker 2: and she's now the go to girl for all the
- 17:21Speaker 2: other things that they want to outsource, washing dishes, at
- 17:24Speaker 2: family functions. She's been paid to do their food shopping,
- 17:27Speaker 2: driving the grandparents to appointments, and she says she charges
- 17:31Speaker 2: a minimum thirty five bucks an hour.
- 17:32Speaker 3: Sick.
- 17:33Speaker 2: That's great. Imagine just to be able to pay people
- 17:36Speaker 2: to do things like I know, I don't want to
- 17:37Speaker 2: do the dishes, the family Christmas dinner dishes. Not for me,
- 17:41Speaker 2: I know.
- 17:41Speaker 3: Well, my best friend does pay me to, she says.
- 17:43Speaker 3: Someone she'll be like, oh, pay tendleus like to make
- 17:45Speaker 3: my bed? You know you have to put the sheet.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Hilarious, God, the sheet, you know, I do so free.
- 17:50Speaker 2: I love making a bed. Oh my god, I hate
- 17:52Speaker 2: that I have to make the bed. It's my favorite thing.
- 17:54Speaker 3: Ever, well, it depends if you're at my best friend's
- 17:56Speaker 3: house for whatever reason. Make sure you're getting that money.
- 17:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll just do ever free.
- 18:01Speaker 3: Well, before we wrap up, I did want to share
- 18:03Speaker 3: Paula's tip because not only is it a great one
- 18:06Speaker 3: for making extra cash, but if you are in between jobs,
- 18:09Speaker 3: which is me at the moment, and I are, use
- 18:11Speaker 3: something similar. But I haven't heard of this one. Paula
- 18:13Speaker 3: recommends sidekicker app. She said, you can do side jobs weekends, weekdays, hospitality, healthcare, labor,
- 18:19Speaker 3: et cetera. The one I use is sup supp for
- 18:22Speaker 3: mainly hospitalities, so brista, front of house, all that kind
- 18:26Speaker 3: of stuff, kitchen hand we're doing a bunch of that stuff.
- 18:28Speaker 3: So I think this is a great idea. Thank you
- 18:30Speaker 3: so much, Paul.
- 18:31Speaker 2: I'm going to check out that app.
- 18:32Speaker 3: So a lot of people say, like ride shares are
- 18:35Speaker 3: you know doing them? Aren't really worth it anymore?
- 18:37Speaker 2: So this one did surprise me.
- 18:39Speaker 3: We had someone say I started doing ride share driving
- 18:41Speaker 3: as my side hustle. They used to do creative work
- 18:44Speaker 3: but it was too unpredictable to say for a house.
- 18:47Speaker 3: And they earned approximately two to three thousand dollars a
- 18:49Speaker 3: week doing about full time hours.
- 18:52Speaker 2: That's crazy grand a week is way more than I
- 18:55Speaker 2: would have thought. Same, and you would have to put
- 18:57Speaker 2: money side for tax. Don't forget true, true true, But
- 19:00Speaker 2: that's a lot of money. Yeah, that's incredible money. So good.
- 19:04Speaker 2: The next one I have is really fun. It's from
- 19:06Speaker 2: Cat and she says, I own a fairy floss business. Okay,
- 19:10Speaker 2: it's been an absolutely wild ride, but so worth it
- 19:12Speaker 2: with the returns. I'm now looking at opening a shop
- 19:15Speaker 2: because we want to expand Cat, I'm dying to know
- 19:18Speaker 2: how much your earning. Also, just an addendum, I love fairyfloss.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Fairy floss is one of my favorite little treats to
- 19:25Speaker 2: get it like the cinema. I love fairyfloss.
- 19:27Speaker 3: Oh in my head, I was sinking fairyfloss the Facebook group,
- 19:32Speaker 3: but that is for house shares, so I was like, idea,
- 19:37Speaker 3: fairy floss, that's pretty bad.
- 19:39Speaker 2: That's incredible. Oh my god.
- 19:40Speaker 3: And I wanted to open up a brick and mortar.
- 19:43Speaker 2: That's very cool. That's really really cool. I love the
- 19:45Speaker 2: idea of that. Hopefully it's in Melbourne. I'll come visit
- 19:47Speaker 2: next time. I have. Is from Anna, who said I
- 19:49Speaker 2: started dashing with door dash a few months ago to
- 19:51Speaker 2: bring in some extra cash on the side of my
- 19:52Speaker 2: full time job, and it's honestly been such a game changer.
- 19:55Speaker 2: I just log in for a few hours in the
- 19:57Speaker 2: evenings or on the weekends when I feel like it,
- 19:59Speaker 2: and I can easily make a couple of hundred dollars
- 20:01Speaker 2: extra a week. I love that I can choose when
- 20:03Speaker 2: I work. There's no pressure if I want to take
- 20:05Speaker 2: a week off, or I can go harder when I'm
- 20:07Speaker 2: saving for something specific At the moment, I'm using it
- 20:10Speaker 2: to help build up my emergency fund, and it's made
- 20:12Speaker 2: such a difference. Oh my god, that's really really cool.
- 20:15Speaker 2: I feel like the flexibility is such a healing thing
- 20:18Speaker 2: because you can do it. You know, I'm doing a
- 20:20Speaker 2: side job at the moment, and it's being able to
- 20:23Speaker 2: do something around what's already important to and what's already
- 20:26Speaker 2: full time. Totally it.
- 20:28Speaker 3: But having that extra money, I know, and I didn't
- 20:31Speaker 3: realize you get make that much per week if you
- 20:33Speaker 3: just like did it a lot.
- 20:34Speaker 2: I know, I'm dying to know Anna how often you're
- 20:36Speaker 2: doing this, so let us know. But it sounds like
- 20:38Speaker 2: really good. That's incredible. I literally, I literally, I am
- 20:41Speaker 2: going to do it.
- 20:42Speaker 3: This one is for all the green thumbs out there.
- 20:44Speaker 3: Michelle says, I love gardening. So she takes cuttings of
- 20:48Speaker 3: harder to find plans and grows them into new plants
- 20:52Speaker 3: to sell, which is a great idea. It's just a hobby,
- 20:55Speaker 3: but it gives her a little bit of extra cash,
- 20:57Speaker 3: which she puts away for rainy days. This is great
- 20:59Speaker 3: because some randomly like seven hundred dollars, you know, I mean,
- 21:02Speaker 3: I was just thinking my no monster a very Gay MONSTERRA.
- 21:10Speaker 2: My favorite callback, yeah, my Variegated MONSTERRA or very Gay
- 21:13Speaker 2: MONSTERRA for those who have been playing along with the
- 21:15Speaker 2: bit for God only knows how long. At this point,
- 21:17Speaker 2: people sell those cuttings of those or Taire constellations or
- 21:21Speaker 2: elbow monsters. There's a few different variants. Wow. And people
- 21:24Speaker 2: will they'll have like a big mama plant and they
- 21:27Speaker 2: cut them, propagate them, and then sell the cuttings to
- 21:30Speaker 2: people for quite a lot of money as well. It's
- 21:33Speaker 2: crazy crazy, it's really interesting. And then one day I
- 21:36Speaker 2: was in Japan, we walked past literally elbow monsterra that
- 21:39Speaker 2: someone was just growing out the front of their house.
- 21:41Speaker 2: That was the size of like three human beings.
- 21:44Speaker 4: Wow.
- 21:44Speaker 2: I like this plant would be worth like ten thousand dollars.
- 21:47Speaker 2: It was nuts. Wow, was just like sitting on this
- 21:50Speaker 2: lovely little old Japanese ladies port. Oh, that's good.
- 21:53Speaker 3: They really are an investment. Plants are really investment. They're
- 21:55Speaker 3: also very good to the air or something in your home,
- 21:57Speaker 3: So toxins and all that sort of stuff, exactly right,
- 22:01Speaker 3: especially mother tongue, mother tongue, mother in law's tongue.
- 22:04Speaker 2: I hope everyone is talking about is that sake plan?
- 22:06Speaker 2: Is that another word for snakes? Sake plants? Very good
- 22:09Speaker 2: for the air. I've got one for our thrifty queens. Yes,
- 22:12Speaker 2: And he says. I go to op shops and if
- 22:13Speaker 2: I see something I know is worth more, I buy
- 22:16Speaker 2: it and listened on eBay. She says, she's in a
- 22:18Speaker 2: regional town. You have to know in your soul it
- 22:21Speaker 2: will sell, because otherwise you end up wasting money. My
- 22:23Speaker 2: best find was six vintage Nintendo DS Pokemon cards for
- 22:27Speaker 2: six dollars and sold it to a collector for five
- 22:30Speaker 2: hundred bucks.
- 22:30Speaker 4: Wow.
- 22:31Speaker 2: And she paid her rates with it, which I think
- 22:33Speaker 2: is very clever. It's a fine line though, between yes.
- 22:36Speaker 3: I think I know what you're gonna say, because my
- 22:38Speaker 3: girlfriend does this too, and she can see, like the clothes,
- 22:41Speaker 3: like she'll be like, oh, this is really good material
- 22:42Speaker 3: in with it. But I in my head, I'm like
- 22:44Speaker 3: opportunity shop moll dilemma. It's a moral dilemma, Like the
- 22:48Speaker 3: people that can't afford this stuff are going there because
- 22:51Speaker 3: it's it's for that purpose to be able to afford
- 22:55Speaker 3: things that you might not be able to otherwise. But
- 22:57Speaker 3: I do see the benefit. I guess also like if
- 23:01Speaker 3: you're if you can't afford clothes, and like, it would
- 23:05Speaker 3: be really nice if you could buy like a polo
- 23:07Speaker 3: shirt what's it called Ralph Lauren or whatever. Yeah, to
- 23:10Speaker 3: make sure that you're not like going out into the
- 23:13Speaker 3: world and feeling like you're you know, it just would
- 23:17Speaker 3: be nice for your self esteem if you could afford
- 23:19Speaker 3: something like that. And if it is in the shop
- 23:20Speaker 3: and someone's like, oh, I can sell it on eBay
- 23:22Speaker 3: for fifty bucks, it's like cool, you could, or you
- 23:25Speaker 3: could let someone buy it because they can't.
- 23:27Speaker 2: I feel like it's the difference as well between it
- 23:29Speaker 2: sounds like Abby is just picking up an odd thing
- 23:30Speaker 2: here and there totally, whereas I've seen people post videos
- 23:34Speaker 2: online about how like the day that the op shop
- 23:37Speaker 2: puts new stuff out, there'll be people with trolleys full
- 23:39Speaker 2: of all the good stuff.
- 23:40Speaker 3: You know.
- 23:40Speaker 2: It's it's such a hard thing because I'm never going
- 23:42Speaker 2: to say I don't want people earning extra money. I
- 23:44Speaker 2: think it's so good. I also think toys is probably
- 23:46Speaker 2: a good category to do it in because there are
- 23:48Speaker 2: just so you know what I mean, Yeah, so many toys,
- 23:50Speaker 2: so many games. Yeah, I don't know any of it
- 23:55Speaker 2: but you know what, Abby, good on you. I love
