This hustling sounds like a lot of work for too little money. Passive income is the way to go.
The official guide on hustling
I'm thinking of what I can sell at a bar or club when it closes in the parking lot. Everyone is hungry so I think food would be the best option. People usually have alcohol ready for the after party so that's a no no.

There's a guy that parks outside of a club I go to. He sells dirty water hot dogs and pretzels all night long to people waiting in line and people coming out at 2-3am. I'm sure he makes some cash.

Similarly, in the south of Phuket, there's one main club open until 2am, and then one after hours club open until 6am. A Lebanese guy sells shawarma/kebabs just outside the first one until it closes and then moves onto the second one until about an hour after it closes or he runs out of food. Charges at least 2x what the going rate during the day would be and is busy the entire time. Fucking delicious and convenient. For a food vendor in Thailand he must be raking it in. On the other hand, this is a lot of manual work and doesn't scale at all.
I can't have sex with your personality, and I can't put my penis in your college degree, and I can't shove my fist in your childhood dreams, so why are you sharing all this information with me?
Up north, I know a guy who was starting a side business, which was pretty much a delivery take-out for booze. Just wine/beer and cider, bar snacks and similar, and offer orders between 11 30, when the pubs start to close, and 4am, when the clubs and late bars shut. You can buy at wholesale rates, of course, and sell at just under what the bars would charge.
Makes sense, and a good idea, but the worst part would be staying up to drive to drunks' houses so the party can go on.
On a relevant note, i realised that probably the best way to make money which balances time spent and money gained is to offer something that's already for sale, but be able to offer it quicker, offer it earlier, offer it at times when it wouldn't otherwise be available, and offer it used but still at a profit to yourself.
Like the booze delivery, someone will want something when it's not for sale. The trick is finding something-anything.
maybe Halal food deliveries during ramadan? (check for local stores first though).
Speed is always a plus. Look at the dating advice industry-the main thing they offer is how to get sex/dates quicker. Self-help in general is the same, i think. Or the offer that Domino's pizza had about delivery in 30 minutes or free?
As to offering something used but still in demand, there's plenty of examples. My brother's at university and was thinking of ways to raise 2-3 hundred to buy textbooks from final year students and sell them on to first/second year.
Profits would not be huge, but nor would costs, and to a student, a little goes a long way.
I did something similar when i joined a practice group for NLP, which fell apart because too few people attended. I bought some books and videos for a pittance, resold for more than i paid. Not a lot, again but if you can do anything like that on a bigger scale, it would be bigger profits
And offering something earlier than people would normally get it is pretty clear. The ipad 4, the mini-ipad is supposed to be out in October. Apple stores never have excess, because that's their marketing ploy to create scarcity.
If i had enough people wanting one when it's first released, i can be a personal shopper for all of them at 40-50 a head. well worth a night camping out in front of the Apple store.

Condoms, cigarettes, glow in the dark shoelaces, gatorade, moist towels, cockrings, fleshlights, poloroid pictures.

You said you'll be in NY, I'm guessing NYC, where there will be so much 24 hr foot traffic that you can do just about anything to make money. The short time I spent in Manhattan and farther north in Harlem showed how many foot traffic ideas could start. The shaved ice stands, while seasonal, were making a killing and literally could be put on almost any block. The overhead looks to be no more than $400 with a small stand and materials. I am certain not everyone has a license/permit. Try to obtain a concealed carry for protection or hire security since you will have lots of cash on you at all times. In the areas without news stands, you can set up shop with selling cold bottled water. As far as the winter time is concerned, I do not know. I heard reselling MetroCards (subway/train fare) in bulk on CL is something that can be done. The sheer number of people will keep you busy. Fill a need, experiment until you find something that works, optimize it, and grow it. There's plenty of money to be made out there.

Has anyone ever done research studies? I guess they give you new medicine on the market and make you sleep there for a day or 2. Someone told me he got about $1,000 for 2 days worth of "work".
I find this thread to be pretty funny because I've been tossing around a book/assignment idea on how to make money with no real skills. Here are some things that either I've done or know friends that did
Research And focus Groups - these pay anywhere from $50 to $400 dollars for an hour or two of your time. You have to sign up for the focus group institutions, and they will periodically send you "screeners" to see if you qualify for whatever focus group they are trying to run. Not a bad way to make extra cash completely passively. Here is the focus group site that sends me the most invites - http://www.focusgroup.com . The easiest way to get into them - google focus groups for your city (NYC focus groups for me).
Blood and Plasma Donation - you can get about $200 to $300 a month if you donate once or twice a week. Check your local donation centers for more information. The downside is that its impossible to party hard while doing this lol
Sperm Donation - if you are a college educated male, you can make anywhere from $400 to $1000 dollars a month donating sperm. Usually you'd have to pass some tests beforehand, but once you're set its off to cum for money! The catch is that you're paid twice as much if your donation is not anonymous and you agree that your future children can contact you once you turn 18
Craigslist Gigs - if you're bored and have time to kill, you can move boxes or some shit for some quick extra cash
Use your mobile Device as a passive $$ generator - "Apptrailers" on the iphone and android platforms pays you money or gift cards to watch 30 second commercials for apps. Once you watch the trailer, be sure to download the app and fiddle with it to get additional points. Since they do reward you for bringing new users in - please enter my username - drstrangelove - in the referral section if you like this app. I have my iphone sitting next to me at a desk while I do regular work, with the trailers muted lol
Topline - topline is a service that replaces the adds you're served while browsing the web with its own adds, and paying you for browsing. It is installed as a browser plugin. I am not 100% sure of its security yet, thats why I let Google Chrome handle all my sensitive traffic (banking, etc) while I let firefox, with Topline installed, handle all my casual browsing. Like the previous service - there are referrals involved. So if you like topline, please sign up under me with this link - https://www.jointopline.com/(or just go here if you don't want to give me the referral)
This is all I have researched and backed up for now, I will update this thread as I test more stuff

Good list Kid Strangelove. I don't know if I t rust Topline and using Apptrailers with my personal info. Anyone know about these?
I've always heard it's hard as hell to get accepted to be a sperm donor. I don't think they just take any guy who walks in.
Can you still work out and everything like that if you donate plasma??

The best guide to 'hustling' (whatever the fuck that means,) courtesy of me;
Arbitrage any service. Find someone who needs something done. Find someone who does it. Take the price of whatever they charge, and add ten percent. Get the customer's business. Outsource to the guy who does it. Take the 10%.

I thought of a hustle while talking to some members about this thread. When thinking about the hustle, theres a lot of benefits I thought of. I recommend a college campus like background for this hustle. College bitches love taking pictures for some reason.
Photoshop Hustle:
All you would need is a laptop with photoshop CS5 and just some small skill with it. Either legally or the "other" way. I can PM you link for it if you want.
So, what you'd do is spend a week or two using this blemish removal tool (its on the bandaid if you right click) and practicing removing blemishes off pimpled face girls. Use google if you need help finding examples.
So make a little flyer or something to advertise your skills. Charge them about $1-3 a picture to get the blemishes out of. Say something on the advertisement that if you cannot fix it or other problems, you'll refund them in either a drink or money. You should put your phone number there as well so now you'll get texts from em.
Make them bring the camera and a cord so you can upload it on your computer. Tell them to pay you half up front and the other half when you're done. When they pay the other half, email them the finished product.
I thought of the idea yesterday and felt its a good way to like get money and pussy while on campus.
Sadly my laptop has to be fixed for like 3-4 weeks. But I'm sure this advice can help a college guy out.![[Image: smile.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Nope.
There's a lot of good projects you can do on http://www.Lifehacker.com.
Jailbreaking iPhones
Building bootleg MAC computers(Hackintosh)
Hacking the Wii to play games form a hard drive
I've done all of these things for money and for myself.
Hell Jailbreaking iPhones got me laid a few times![[Image: lol.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/new/lol.gif)

I'm so hard im quoting myself.
Today I am going to be paid $150 dollars to talk about video games that I like for an hour. Don't sleep on research groups.
Houston - for my internet "side hustles" I have a separate email address as well as a separate google voice number that by default goes to voicemail. [email protected] exists for that reason only (i have it forward all my blog comments, etc to my real email account). Gmail is pretty fucking awesome like that. Apptrailers, from as far as I can tell, does nothing to your phone. Topline - I am not yet sure of its safety - that's why I use both Chrome and Firefox - my Chrome install doesnt have ANY plugins and I only use it for banking, email, etc. My firefox I use for all my casual browsing and anything i need plugin related.
Over the weekend I will research other internet side hustles.

Excellent info Kid Stangelove on Research and focus groups, I have couple of leads in and will update as something pans out.
+1 for Kid strangelove for this solid info.
"You can not fake good kids" - Mike Pence
I went to a research study place today but left before they could give me a physical and see if I qualify. It was for asthma inhalant medication and I would of been poked about 40 times for blood throughout the few days of the study. They pay about $600 for the study but I don't know about being a guinea pig like that. I want to do a study where you just sleep overnight and they monitor your brain and body lol.
If you have the means/resources takeing declined/marginal financing requests from financial institutions and brokering them to private or small lenders for a referral fee. Some are willing to pay cash for referring the deal. You can work out a flat fee or a percentage of the financing amount.
Another good idea could be to create a fake charity and start asking people for money outside subways or busy train stations. I almost done this shit two years ago but my home boy was too lazy for us to go ahead with it.
Has anyone done this before?

There's professional panhandlers that live in the suburbs and commute to the city everyday and beg for change.
Some make over $50k a year, have a family, house, new car ...etc. It's crazy.

For real? Actually i think 100 bucks per day should be pretty attainable for someone begging money in the streets or 50 bucks per day at the very least, but you need to have balls to beg money in the streets.
This dude just gave this crackhead 5 dollars at the macdonalds where im at, i told him, thats a lot of money for you to be giving away like that.
I know a good addition to Strangelove's Topline advice: Empire Views (here if you don't want to be reffed). You choose to use Firefox viewer, and it automatically opens random pages which probably have ads that will be replaced with Topline ads (lots of them are Youtube videos), so you can leave it at night and earn lots of Topline and Empire Views credits. You can also use AdFoc.us (here if you don't want to be reffed) to post your Topline refferal link on Empire Views so you get refferals for your Topline account and get Adfoc.us credits!
