4 Unique Summer Hustles
No one talks about these... they're so underrated...
Welcome new subscribers! And hello to those who’ve been here for a minute.
I know most people now have some free time during the summer. This is the perfect chance to take a look at some side hustles that are so genius: you’ll question why you hadn’t heard of them before. ⭐️
1/ Jet Washing Bins
it doesn’t sound sexy, but hella useful if you own a house
bins get dirty both on the outside and inside very fast
cleaning them seems like too much effort for most people

Something like this should be enough.
The cost: Jet Wash ($100), Hose ($20), Brush ($15), Flyers ($10), 👉 $145 total
The marketing: Door-to-door knocking, flyers, local Facebook pages, Next Door
The time: 5-10 mins per bin + 5 mins of set up / set down time
The money: $10 per bin, m
Time: Most people have three so charge $20 for three bins, 3 houses per hour = $60/hr
2/ Making Spotify Playlists
artists + labels pay $1000s to get into popular Spotify playlists
you create some summer banger playlists
you market them via TikTok, telling people to follow
you gain some loyal playlist followers + update it daily with new tunes
artists to pay you to be added to your playlists

☝️ This playlist has 17K saves, and 100% makes good money from artists who pay to have their tracks put on.
The cost: Free, just need a Spotify Subscription
The marketing: TikTok, Emailing and messaging labels/ artists
The money: $100s per song you sell onto the list…
Payment Method: Venmo, CashApp, Bank Transfer
3/ Selling Polaroids
people are obsessed with Polaroids
they feel vintage: you can hold them - put them up in your room
you buy a Polaroid camera
go to spots where people make memories (tourist attractions, local parks etc)
The cost: Camera ($150), Film ($1 per photo)
The marketing: Walking around with flyers
The money: $4 per photo, $3 profit per photo
Payment Method: Cash, Venmo, CashApp, Card Reader
Time: take 20 per hour: $60/hr
*Bonus tip: Buy some phone cases with Polaroid slots in bulk and put them into your backpack. Once you have taken the photo, upsell one of these to the person. You buy at $5 per case, sell at $15. This is a killer upsell.
4/ Selling Portable Charger Vending Machines
people always run out of battery at events
no one ever remembers their chargers either
you can now get machines where you rent portable chargers
these machines are for venues like clubs or pubs: they mean people stay longer and spend more
portable charger rental companies will actually pay you to sell their machines to venues
Earning Potential: You can earn a couple hundred in commission for each machine you sell.
The cost: Free, working on a commission basis
The marketing: Email, door-to-door sales at venues such as pubs,
The risk: There is no risk. Venues don’t pay anything to you to have them. The charger company takes care of all the work once you give them a client. You get paid for being a middleman!
* You can research similar companies in your areas that offer a commission if you sell one of these. If they don’t seem to offer a commission, email them directly! The company I found that offers this service can be found here.
