4 Unique Side Hustles

That Bring In Money

by Courtney Connley

Ever thought about what you can do to make additional money on the side? Wonder what others are doing to provide that extra financial cushion? From turning your hobbies into jobs and making an extra buck off your passions, below are four unique side hustles that can bring you a little more cash flow.

Vending Machine Investor: If you like selling snacks and other quick food items but don’t really care for customer interaction, then becoming a vending machine investor may be the perfect sides hustle for you. Depending on what items you sell, how much you charge and how much money you dish out for maintenance, the profit vending machine investors make can vary greatly. On average, a beverage machine can bring in more than $200 in one day alone (and snack machines more than double that). While the return for making quick money can be good, one must keep in mind the maintenance and upkeep required in terms of making sure the machine stays stocked and observing what products sell better than others.
