Summary
Last month, I put out a call for listeners to share the most random ways they've made extra money, and the responses did not disappoint! Some side hustles start with a business plan. Others start with a stranger in a parking garage asking if you want to get paid to drink beer. That one actually happened to me in Atlanta. The woman worked for a market research company, and they needed taste-testers for a product that hadn't launched yet. I invited a couple of friends along, and we each made about $75 sampling what turned out to be Miller Chill. Later we lived near a place called the National Food Lab, so I went over and did a few more paid taste-testings.
