How to Make Money on the Side

Each month, we share the ways we made money on the side so you can do it too.

July was a busy month with school holidays, a short trip away and moving house.

In July I made $1,881.96, some of which was passive.

This is the amount after fees, tax etc. Not a bad effort considering we barely did anything.

Here’s how we made the money.

Sold 3 Things – $1,075

When we are dedicated, we make over $10,000 a month buying things to resell.

Since we were moving, we didn’t do much with it. We sold 2 items of clothing on eBay and out of the blue, we were approached to sell something we own.

Most of the things we buy to resell are clothes, but occasionally, we flip websites and sell things for others.

Airbnb $613.47

Whenever we go away, we listour place on Airbnb. Being right in the city, it is easy to list and usually gets booked.

Check out this article for how to list on Airbnb and my top tips to help you make more.

It’ll be interesting to see how much this changes now we have moved out of the city centre.

Spacer $191.99

We started with Spacer 2 months ago. Within 24hrs of listing the parking space in a secure garage complex, it was rented.

A super easy process and when we needed to cancel it this month due to the move, it wasn’t a problem.

Customer service is great and the guy we rented to was fantastic.

Found $1.50

It’s not technically making money, but we like to include the random amounts we find. We found $1.50 one day when we were out in Brunswick.

It was a $1 coin, 2 x 20c coins and a 10c coin sitting there.

Previous Months

Back in January, we set a goal to make and save an extra $30,000.

In January, we made $3,200.17, February we forgot to do a post, but looking over everything we made $3,833.37.

In March we made $4,005 then in April we made $1,600.70 but also spent it all.

May was the month we switched our focus to business and managed to double the business income.

June was similar, though we also made $851.15 on the side.
