Beekeeping is profitable but also a pain in the ass and really has to be a labor of love.
If you just want small farm profits then pastured chickens are the fastest gains possible. Market them as organic free range pastured biodynamic whatever and take preorders. Order the chicks with already cash in hand. Grow them for 6 to 8 weeks. Slaughter and deliver. Most states allow on farm slaughter with very minimal paperwork up to 1000 birds a year.
Pigs are great too but to really make profits you need to breed and that's a whole thing. Chickens are fast, dirty and profitable.

I don't know if I fully agree with that. The whole "find your passion and make it profitable!" is just more wage-slavie mentality that has been shoved down our throats by billionaires.

The easiest way to suck the enjoyment out of something is to turn it into a business and turn it into 60h+ weeks. The one solace, the one peace, the one thing that brings us joy is now sapped from us as we try and capitalize on it to make a few bucks. And the CEOs laugh and laugh as we run our morale dry.

It's a shame that "the best" we have to look forward to is turning something we love into a soulless business.

Keep your passions and your work separate. If, by chance, someone asks to pay for your passion-project, go ahead and accept. But keep it on a contract basis so that your flame doesn't die out.

If you plan to try to make any money at the trash heap you'll probably become one of those people. They look like indoor homeless people.

Man this is the most obvious but probably least popular one - Uber driving. Now before you fags start making fun of me here’s what you need to know, I’ve personally made a quarter million dollars Uber driving. Is it glamours??? NO!!! Will people piss, shit, vomit, diahharea, vape, eat, drink, fuck and do all sorts of other shit in your car? ABSOLUTELY! But it is a literal gold mine. The real secret is to get a shitty old Prius for about 4K off Craigslist - they last forever, I drove my last well past when the odometer quit working. So you don’t car how bad they fuck up your car cause it was a cheap piece of shit to begin with. You can 10X that 4K in less than a year easy and then just keep buying a new shitty Prius every year like it’s disposable. Got get that money anons!!!

Sometimes I see crazy sales in a shop, e.g. a book being 90% off. I think I'm going to start buying up that kind of sales and sell it on ebay.

Couldn't agree more. Once I started really knowing what I was doing with computers, things started getting fun. Setting up clusters and scripting simple botnets and whatnot. Had a simple lab set up at home just for fucking around with. Started doing IT full time for a local bank. Got paid really well, but really killed my passion for it. I still write the occassional automation script here and there, but the last thing I want to do after troubleshooting people's broken shit is come home and troubleshoot my own broken shit.

Two core sellers are a BBQ and garlic hot sauce, then I just do whatever others I feel like, plus fry seasonings, meat rubs chilli oil, whatever really. Not huge profits but it keeps me busy while I'm still furloughed.

Sounds fun, i always wanted to work in a kitchen because i love cooking and fucking around with spices but i can't work under pressure for shit. Do you need any special equipment or just pour that into the bottles yourself?

No just basic utensils, bottles, sterilising powder and PH tester. Labels I do myself to keep costs down. It's just like selling anything online but with the extra step of needing a license to produce food at home.

who cares, its just a term of convenience. a lot of normie things are annoying, just ignore it and move on. it's also not like you can scale every single thing. a lot depends on individual needs/wants and life circumstances. i used to sell/trade coins as a 'side hustle'. i enjoyed dong it at that level. scaling up would have been possible, but it would have destroyed the fun of it.

If you really found a way to grow chanterelles you should do it. Usually I only see wild ones and have heard it's very hard to grow them at scale

Find a connection able to supply you with a new bottles of Creed Aventus cologne and resell over Aventus facebook groups.The point is retail prices are like 350+ per bottle and you can sell around 220 and still make decent profit. More if you get hands on rare "batch"
