1. Thrift and Flip

Do you enjoy thrift store shopping? Put that passion and skill to the test by reselling your finds.

Keep an eye out for pieces that have a high resale value. Research which brands sell well and the condition they should be in.

Buy items from your local thrift store and make money on the markup. Use sites like eBay, Poshmark, and ThredUp. Create a neutral and appealing backdrop to take pictures of the items in front of.

The higher the quality of the item, the more you can earn. It may take some research to know what to buy. Once you get the hang of it, reselling can be a lucrative source of extra cash.

2. Dog Walking

Most dog walkers charge per dog, per half hour. If you walk two dogs a night for an hour each, that’s a significant chunk of change per week.

You can advertise your dog walking services on sites like Rover. There, you can also advertise doggy daycare and boarding services.
