00:00Hi, it's Anastasia!
00:01Today I'm going to show you 6 weird ways to make some extra cash that you have probably
00:08never heard of.
00:09These side hustles can pay at least $1,000 a month.
00:14And guess what?
00:15You don't need any skills, no degree, or even a single penny to start.
00:20Ready to get weird and make some money?
00:23Let's dive in!
00:25Imagine getting paid to binge-watch Netflix.
00:29Sounds like a dream, right?
00:30Well, that's exactly what Netflix taggers do.
00:34These professional couch potatoes, officially known as editorial and content analysts, spend
00:41their days watching a variety of movies and TV shows.
00:45Their mission is to slap on keywords that help viewers find the perfect show or movie
00:50when they search for content.
00:52I found that right now Netflix has this open position for the Korean market.
00:58As you can see, your job here is to analyze, tag, research, and write about movies and
01:05series with attention to detail.
01:08For what it's worth, I found one thread on Reddit where a guy shared some details
01:13about this job just about 6 months ago.
01:16And he said that depending on your experience, you can get paid between $80,000 and $200,000
01:22per year.
01:23He mentioned it's actually a hybrid, half-remote, half-in-office job.
01:28I would assume these positions are filling up quickly, so if this is your dream job,
01:34you better check the new job opportunities on Netflix site frequently.
01:39The next side hustle is painting house numbers on curbs.
01:43I bet this never crossed your mind as a side hustle idea.
01:46But this guy shared in his video he made up to $400 on some days doing this on his summer
01:53break.
01:54He bought heavy-duty stencils, spray paint, frog tape, and a measuring tape for less than
02:00$16.
02:02One can of paint lasts for 10-12 jobs.
02:05Alex charged $15 for one curb or $20 for two, often completing each job in just 10 minutes.
02:14Alex advertised his service by posting on social media and talking to neighbors.
02:19He has a very honest and detailed tutorial on how to do it, so I will actually drop a
02:25link to his full video in the description below, so you can get started if you liked
02:29this idea.
02:30Now, the next idea is something that nobody wants to do, but it can actually be very profitable.
02:38Check out dog poop scrubbing business.
02:41People love their pets, but they often don't enjoy cleaning up their dog's poop as much.
02:47Which creates for you an opportunity to make money.
02:51The business model relies on recurring revenue, similar to subscription services.
02:57You don't need any formal training or much money to get started.
03:01I found this video that covers a case study of a pet waste removal business.
03:06The founder, Erica Kruppen, makes over $100,000 annually, or more than $8,000 per month, picking
03:14up dog waste.
03:15Erica's business, based in Indiana, has more than 80 monthly customers who pay between
03:21$56 and $120 for her services.
03:25Typically, who will need the services are homeowners or companies that manage apartment
03:30complexes.
03:31The startup costs are pretty low, about $100 for equipment if you already have boots and
03:37a vehicle.
03:38To get the first clients, you could offer a free month for referrals.
03:43This word-of-mouth strategy will expand your customer base.
03:47I think when you're just starting, you can probably do this business yourself.
03:52But in the high season, which for pet waste is around the spring cleaning time, you might
03:58want to hire someone to help you because chances are you won't be able to handle the amount
04:03of physical work as a one-person business.
04:06Also, if you want to grow this even bigger, marketing your services online is crucial.
04:12After all, people are used to making all their purchases online.
04:17It actually applies to any side hustle idea in this video.
04:21If you want to expand it and make a full-time income out of it, you will need a place where
04:27people can find you and your services online.
04:31And that means you will need a website and a domain name.
04:35If you ever tried to find a .com domain, short ones are not available anymore.
04:41But I found so many great .online short domains and what I like about it is that if you have
04:47a .online domain, you can operate with any industry.
04:51You can apply it to anyone or any business that goes online, including doctors, lawyers,
04:58fitness trainers, photographers, and any other professional services.
05:02.online is the best domain name for micro-entrepreneurs and lots of businesses already use it.
05:09For example, Radiate.online is a kombucha small business from South Florida.
05:15This short .online domain helps them with both branding their products properly and
05:21with brevity.
05:23Or check out Maluma.online, a multiple award-winning global music superstar.
05:28I'd like to thank .online for partnering with me for this part of the video.
05:34You can use my link in the description below.
05:36Use my code ANASTASIA to buy your .online domain at 95% off.
05:42And now think, what if you could make hundreds of dollars per week or more plus get free
05:47products worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars?
05:51All in exchange for short 60-second videos.
05:55And you don't even have to show your face if you don't want to.
05:59You can make simple unboxing videos with your voice or even use AI tools to generate an
06:05AI voiceover.
06:07Companies are increasingly interested in user-generated content or UGC, which is brand-specific content
06:14created by customers and shared on social media of these brands.
06:19Brands need this content to promote their products and you see, potential customers
06:23are more likely to buy after watching videos from real people.
06:28You will often see UGC on platforms like TikTok, Instagram and even Amazon product reviews.
06:35Anyone can start creating UGC today, you don't need any qualifications, all you need
06:40is just your phone or a laptop also could help but it's not even necessary.
06:45What you will do is just create short videos for brands and you can get paid between $150
06:51and $500 for a short 60-second video.
06:55Some UGC creators share their income on social media and I found this creator shared that
07:01she makes $10,000 per month while being a college student.
07:06However, keep in mind that her TikTok account is currently at around 68,000 followers so
07:11of course she didn't make that much money as a beginner but she has grown her account
07:17and her rates over time.
07:19You don't even need to have a following on social media because brands will actually
07:23publish these videos on their social media channels.
07:28There are some platforms that will connect you with brands or you can reach out to them
07:32yourself and over time you can also grow your own social media following and then your rates
07:38can get higher so make sure to have an Instagram and a TikTok account where you share your
07:44work as a UGC creator.
07:45I have published a very detailed tutorial for those of you who want to start making
07:49money as a UGC creator so I will link it up there and you will also find a link to this
07:55free video guide in the description below.
07:57Now we don't move far from the smelly side hustles today.
08:02Brace yourself for something a bit more unusual.
08:05There is a side hustle that pays pretty well and it involves, believe it or not, your poop.
08:11Yes, you heard me right.
08:13There is a company called Human Microbes that will pay you to send them samples of your
08:19stool.
08:20They are offering up to $500 per sample so if you do it every single day, this side hustle
08:27can bring you up to $180,000 per year.
08:32Mind-blowing!
08:33And you can send your stool from anywhere in the world.
08:37You might wonder why anyone would pay for this.
08:40Well, it's used for something called fecal transplants which helps patients improve their
08:46gut health by increasing gut bacteria and microorganisms.
08:51It's also used for research especially in developing drugs for conditions like C. diff.
08:57Human Microbes have strict health requirements for their donors because you need to be in
09:02good health and physically fit and you have better chances if you're younger and actually
09:07they even accept stool from people younger than 18 years old because some of their patients
09:13are also children.
09:14But don't worry if you don't meet all the criteria.
09:18Other companies like Good Nature also pay for stool samples offering about $1500 a month.
09:25It's not as much, but hey, getting paid for something that you do anyway sounds pretty
09:30good, right?
09:31So, what do you think?
09:32Let me know in the comments below if this is a side hustle you would consider trying.
09:37For the next one, you might find it a bit odd, but trust me, there's a huge market
09:42for it.
09:43We're talking about ASMR which stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.
09:50It's that tingle sensation that people get when they hear certain sounds like whispering
09:56or tapping.
09:57Some ASMR videos rack up millions of views.
10:02Gibi ASMR is among the best-known ASMR creators.
10:06Her channel is monetized and it's closing in on 2 billion views with around 5 million
10:11subscribers.
10:12A lot of people use this content as a form of sleep therapy, so this website here made
10:18a huge list of ASMR channels and their estimate incomes range from $300,000 to $6 million
10:26per year.
10:27Here are some ways ASMR YouTubers make money.
10:31If you have a soothing voice or a talent for making gentle sounds, you can start streaming
10:37ASMR live on TikTok or YouTube.
10:40You can go live with these videos and accept tips or donations through Patreon or even
10:46using PayPal, Cash App, Venmo or other payment processes options.
10:52You can, of course, also make money with YouTube ads and sponsored content in your videos.
10:58All you need to start is a camera, a microphone and some creativity.
11:03It takes time to build a following and to start monetizing, but one viral video on TikTok,
11:08for example, can get you a thousand followers really quickly.
11:13I'm also documenting many side hustles that I personally tried on my channel and you can
11:19check how much I made with all the side hustles.
11:22The playlist is linked up there, but don't click just yet.
11:25Give me a like if you found this video interesting and let me know in the comments which of these
11:30side hustles you're going to try first.
11:33And I'll see you in the next videos!
