👻 Fast Friday 5 Sidehustles - 002

If you’re new here, this is the Fast Five Friday, where you’ll see 5 quick ideas you can start for $100 and make $1000 next week!

1. 💻 From Home: Craigslist Copy Cleaner

• The Idea: Offer a service to rewrite terrible Craigslist, OfferUp, and Facebook Marketplace listings. Most listings have garbage titles, blurry pics, and zero persuasion. You fix that for $25–$50 a pop.

• How $100 Helps: Start with $0 for a Canva account for simple visuals. Your $100 goes toward FB ads targeting local sellers and setting up a cheap landing page. Offer "1 free listing rewrite" to get testimonials and build your portfolio.

• Path to $1,000/week: Do 5 rewrites/day at $40 each. Upsell photo cleanups using AI tools. Partner with serious flippers who need dozens rewritten weekly for recurring revenue.

2. 🧼 Home Service: Trash Can Spa

• The Idea: Offer a monthly trash can cleaning service for $25–$40 per bin. People hate the smell but love the idea of a "clean bin."

• How $100 Helps: Invest $50 for a high-pressure hose attachment. Spend $30 for bleach, gloves, and degreaser. Use $20 for simple yard signs or door hangers to advertise locally.

• Path to $1,000/week: Clean 10–15 homes/day at $30 per service. Implement route optimization and promote monthly subscriptions for recurring cash flow. Upsell pet waste cleanup or driveway power washing for extra income.

  • p.s these guys have awesome trucks you can buy when you’re ready to hit the big markets!

3. 🌮 Food Biz: Flash Fry Stand

• The Idea: Set up a portable deep-fried snack pop-up (think Twinkies, Oreos, cheese balls) outside bars, college areas, or parks.

• How $100 Helps: Secure a used mini deep fryer + propane burner for $60. The remaining $40 covers oil, flour, batter, and packaging. Check local regulations, but you can often start with private events or farmer's markets without complex licenses.

• Path to $1,000/week: Sell items at $3–$5 each, with 50–70% profit margins. Aim to sell 300–400 snacks/week. Take bookings for parties or partner with food delivery runners for weekend boosts.

4. 🤖 AI Idea: Birthday Poem Generator

• The Idea: Create custom AI-generated birthday poems, toasts, or roasts. Add a quirky style (like cowboy rhymes or pirate talk). Sell through Etsy, Fiverr, or a basic Instagram page.

• How $100 Helps: $20 for a simple domain for professionalism. Use $0: ChatGPT or a free Claude account for content generation. Allocate $80 for promoting via FB groups, Etsy ads, or influencer shoutouts.

• Path to $1,000/week: Charge $10–$25 per custom message. Sell 50+ per week for various occasions (birthdays, weddings, retirement, even breakups). Offer a 24-hour delivery upsell, bundles, or physical cards.

5. 📦 Physical Product: "Useless Product" Mystery Packs

• The Idea: Bundle up weird dollar-store finds, liquidation junk, or oddly specific tools (like a banana slicer), and sell them as "Mysterious Useless Gift Packs" on TikTok or Etsy.

• How $100 Helps: Spend $100 on bulk junk from liquidation stores or garage sales. Film 10–15 funny pack openings on TikTok to build hype. Brand it creatively, like "The Box of Disappointment" or "Gifts Nobody Asked For."

• Path to $1,000/week: Price at $15–$20/box shipped. Aim to sell 75 boxes/week. Add themed packs like "Useless Kitchen Gadgets" or "Tech That Shouldn’t Exist" to expand your offerings.

6 (bonus!). 📦 Easy Rental Income

I love BOXABL and will add one to my property soon to start cash flowing immediately, here’s why:

• Rapid Deployment for Income: Deploy a Boxabl unit swiftly and have it ready for rent or occupancy far faster than traditional construction.

• Affordable Investment Entry: Jump into the real estate market or expand your portfolio with an affordable, high-quality modular unit.

• Ideal for Rental Properties: Perfect for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), short-term rentals, or quick housing solutions to meet market demand.

• Passive Income Potential: Generate consistent rental income by providing highly sought-after, modern, and efficient living spaces.

• Scalable Portfolio Growth: Easily add more Boxabl units to expand your income-generating assets as your investment goals evolve.

p.s They have a unit for $60k which you can rent for about $1,500 a month, immediately earning $1,000 per month cash flow 😳 Check out your options now!

(As usual each business will have it’s own setbacks, and it’s all about the execution and consistency rather than just having the idea)

It’s a great day to be great!

Love, Mike 👋
