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. Tune into Episode 751 of the Side Hustle Show to learn: the strangest things listeners have been paid to do how a few of those random gigs turned into real businesses where to find unusual rental and marketplace opportunities Full Show Notes: The Most Random Ways You’ve Made Extra Money New to the Show?
