I sell payment processing services for First Data
I run a while label payment gateway
I build custom apps for payment terminals.
I have a rental property.
I'd say I make roughly 2k a month with out really having to do any work. But Payment processing with in the next six month could generate me around 6k/m. I have some big deals in the pipeline.
I made enough to take a small hiatus on software work by DJing (200-400 most nights) Some people successfully make it their full time gig. Essentially you’re sitting at your computer all day, and listening to music while you do it right? so there is plenty of opportunity to find and save interesting (or basic) music. Combine that with maths and counting (what’s 4+4?) some practice, networking around, and you can land…
Tried everything: youtube channel, multiple tutorial websites, music video making/videography, photography, for artists and bands, and finally sound design and mixing The last one is the only that is actually working somewhat
Product photography -> headshot/corporate event photography -> corporate video -> field recording -> music production

Correct. Many states have laws where if you sell over a certain number of vehicles a year, you're considered a used car salesman and must register and get licenced. In addition, if you register the title in your name, you have to pay taxes in most states, just to turn around and sell it to somebody else who also has to pay the same taxes.
Some states also take into account intent. Meaning that you need a dealers license and insurance just to purchase and sell a single vehicle, if the original intent of purchasing the vehicle was to sell it. In my state, Oregon, for example, the DMV has agents watching craigslist, facebook, autotrader, etc. who go test drive private party cars under cover and ask the question, "So, why are you selling?" where answering…
Playing poker! My winrate online is only a couple dollars an hour. I don't play live very often so I don't have the sample size to say what my winrate would be, but I'd guess $10-20/hr. So, ultimately, not too much money. But if I keep improving, my winrate should keep going up. It also makes a lot of sense because I'm developing a poker app - https://premiumpokertools.com/ . So I guess it is sort of tied into progra…
