5 Things You Can Make And Sell To Earn Extra Cash

 

Do you have some free time? Want to make some side cash? But don't know where to start? Well, we have something in common. 

I have searched for ways to make side money. To be honest, I was baffled by the amount of information I got on my PC. There were literally hundreds of ways to make money, but truthfully, 40% were scams, and 55% were such a side job that it would require a full-time job effort... Haha how laughable, but it is the truth. Of course, the remaining 5% were correct and decent money-making ways, like it, logically made sense that this is a side job and you can earn money from it.

Before you get tired of this post and swipe away, I just want to say that these methods are mostly for homemade stuff, unique in their own way, and fun to read about. And, well, extra knowledge doesn't hurt right.

1. Candles

Yep, you heard it, right partner, it is candles. It might sound a bit boring and repetitive, but it is a reality. In the USA alone, the candy industry is worth $3.2 billion. Now I am NOT telling you to have some sky-high expectations from it, but you can earn a decent amount of cash from it as the profit goes from $5 to $20+ per candle depending on quality and design, and, of course, the smell.

A Good Smelling Candle has a lot of markets and I mean, come on, if on a good occasion you have a choice between buying a normal candle or a good-smelling one, then you would definitely go for the latter, given that you are not a frugal person.

What about crafting? Absolutely easy. With a broad range of DIY guides online, Candles are one of the easiest crafts to do as a novice. In addition, the fundamental procedures of melting and pouring require little or no expertise.

A word of advice: ensure that security labeling is used. Safeguard your company from legal actions.

You can set up a flagship business for approximately $200.

 

2. Ceramics

I agree that they are not one of the quickest products to be made, but the process in itself is quite enjoyable while disregarding the fact that the industry is huge. If I were to give an example, then it would be decorations and gifts.

Her mugs are SOLD OUT. You can imagine how much demand there must be. And the best part is if you want to stand out, then just be unique rather than a copy paster.

What about crafting? It is not the quickest, but it is an interesting side job, plus you don't need a big crafting workshop for it.

3. Printing Merchandise

If you are a little lazy about making stuff at home, then no problem. Go for this solid Non-House Making Stuff business. OK OK, I KNOW not completely because you are still required to make designs at home.

So I was at a stationary shop and I saw a cup with the name and logo of the shop on it. It looked pretty decent, so I asked who made it and he told me about this print-on-demand business and how he ordered it online. So the whole idea is to create stuff like cups, books, t-shirts, etc. with people's names on them or their pictures as per their demand, and yeah, that's pretty much it.

 

There's 20% profit after doing all the calculations, and there are companies known as Pritify that can print the stuff for you, so it's like you make a design on Canva, then give it to Printify to create the required product, and you can have it shipped to you.

Now you all might be thinking, why would anyone offer me money for it? Like, they can also make the design and give it to Printify. While this might be the case for some people, some might also give you this work because they might not know how to design the stuff or want to save some time. For whatever reason, I still suggest you give it a try. I did this for my friend. So when I made him a design, I had to print it as well. Luckily, there was a printing shop similar to Printify near me, so it took $20 to print and I didn't charge any money, but if I had charged it would have been $10 and the cost of the shirt was $7. So you see, the profit was 25% of the total amount.

4. Magnets

Now I am not telling you to sell some black shiny magnets. What I mean is, add some color to it, like literally buy some resin and paint. Make those magnets into gift items and boom, you are ready to sell my friend. While the cost of profits in this item is low, the total cost of making is lower and productivity efficiency is quite high.

Magnets will cost like $0.05 to $1 and adding some paint and glittery stuff will make it around $2, so go and sell it for $4.

5. Keychains

Yep, same old keychains. Actually, they are never out of date. Did you ever notice that people still have keychains on them? I don't know about you, but I still like to have a good keychain for my bike keys. Similarly, many people like unique keychains.

A keychain can be sold for $2 to $20. Animal lovers, hikers, travelers, etc., you will find all types of keychains. The keychain industry caters to both men and women. If you add the option of making custom keychains for customers, then it would give you an edge over other people.
