> Sell what you already own

> Made $140 in a weekend selling old textbooks, a bike I never rode, and a spare coffee maker on Marketplace. Zero new skills needed, and it teaches you pricing and dealing with buyers, which helps with every other hustle afterward.

> Respondent.io studies

> I did two 45-minute video interviews at $75 each about software I use at work. Screening takes patience - I got rejected from maybe 8 studies before qualifying - but the hourly rate beats every survey site by 10x. People with niche professional jobs do best here.

> Facebook Marketplace flipping

> Bought a $15 side table, sanded and painted it on a Saturday, sold it for $65 the next week. Furniture is slow but the margins are real, and free curb finds mean your first flip can cost almost nothing out of pocket.
