I use my data skills to bet on politics.

It’s been a very lucrative endeavor for the past 5 years or so.

Betting on US politics seems like easy money to the dispassionate observer. Unfortunately, my government has banned online gambling, and none of the nearby casinos offers such bets.

I tutor middle/high school kids in math and CS. I make $35 an hour which is pretty good considering I'm a freshman in college and some of the students are pretty close to my age so it can be fun.

I've started making knives. Started with basic stock removal and tiny forge. Stepping up to a heat treating oven next, and would love to eventually get a small forge press so I can experiment with making damascus.

I'm currently running a job board without ads or any ways to make revenue. I see this as a way to learn things - adding one layer of complexity at a time to see how far I can push it and learn things. I have noticed that I like to learn things by doing so that's the goal. Not exactly a monetary thing but rather investing in myself. Right now, I'm looking at splitting the server to host at multiple locations so I can…

It is pretty useful

Thanks!

I’m a musician and have a few music related hustles: https://themusiciansnotebook.com I make the best music paper notebooks you can find! https://audioremarks.com Site for sharing audio clips and leaving timestamped commentary, eg, a music teacher leaving feedback for a student

I really like the audioremarks.com timestamped commentary. I'm also a musician and made a little PHP app to share demos with friends, I wish it had this functionality.
