So I’ve written a few times over the last year and a half about a side hustle I’ve been working on with two friends from college. We have written and published a spicy RPG game for couples very similar to fantasy RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons. The Tavern of Conquests. The three of us were…
With my university contract coming to a close at the end of June, I’ve had an eye out for any side hustles that can prop up my income until the theaters start to reopen. I recently received an email through the full school distribution email about a $400 a week part time gig through LDS…
A few days ago, I came across this tweet and thought, “we are all pretty screwed if the freelancers who never mention money are now worrying about money”: Of course, I think about money all the time, so no surprise there. The number of events starting to get cancelled or moved to an undetermined date…
**This is a true story – but disclaimer: I do not recommend you do this. Or, ya know, do it with caution. Anyway, moral of the story, it was a questionable choice on my part but it all worked out ok. For me. Again, I don’t recommend you do this.** I have been working part…
EasyShift is one of those apps that let you take pictures or check prices in a store for a few dollars. I was pretty intrigued because the payouts seem to be higher than a lot of other microtask apps ($10-20 range). I recently started training for a part time job in the mornings that leaves…
In the constant search for how to bring in more income, you’re likely to come across an awful lot of options floating out there on the Internet. I know there are several I come across regularly that seem to promise the potential for some pretty high payouts, but I wonder about the risk levels involved.…
When people think about side hustles or survival jobs, a lot of them seem to revolve around being on the same place all the time or work hours outside of 9-to-5. Any stage manager knows that doesn’t really help us out. Work hours change a lot in the theater. While you might be able to…
Have you been daydreaming of ways to get you out of the daily grind? Are you brainstorming how to bring in other streams of revenue to give you more freedom? If so, you may have the necessary drive to join one of the fastest growing job sectors in the United States: freelancing. Per a 2014…
One of my favorite things to write about on this blog is ways to side hustle. I think almost anyone can work the right side job into their lives to bring in more income. I also know that for years in my early twenties, I thought people were crazy suggesting I could do some kind…
I’ve been working in theater for 12 years and this month is the first time I’ve ever had a job fall through at the last minute. There’s been the occasional job way off in the horizon that didn’t work out for some reason or another, but there was plenty of time to recoup and find…
The Internet has opened up a wealth of opportunities for those with drive and vision. Naturally, some of these will represent short-lived trends while others are a viable means to enjoy sustainable wealth over time. One such area which has enjoyed a great deal of attention concerns the rise of the Forex markets in terms…
Here at brokeGIRLrich, we’re all about new ways to bring in some more dough. From the more outlandish (like online gambling) to the ones I’ve personally had a lot of success with (blogging), there are more ways to make a little extra money than most people are aware of. While none are a 100% guarantee…
Hi guys! Today I’m excited to share another post from my pal Jesse, the part time stage hypnotist and full time hustler. He’s been fine tuning his side hustling and has some great tips to help you maximize your time by being picky about who you work with. Hello readers. I’m Jesse Gernigin. You might…
A few weeks ago, I was visiting one of the most financially savvy friends I have up in Vermont and during our conversations, she told me about easily a half dozen side hustles she did growing up long before learning the word side hustle. But my favorite story was this one – she used to…
So at the end of this month, I’m celebrating two years of blogging. That might not seem like a lot, but that’s a little more than 300 posts written just for brokeGIRLrich, not to mention all the other opportunities that have opened up to me since I started blogging. Aside from being my own personal…
I’m really excited to share this guest post from my pal Jesse over at LiveGoldRich with you today. I think we all know I love a good side hustle and this man nailed his as a stage hypnotist (how cool is that, right?). Even better, the man is an awesome salesperson (which I am not)…
When I really little, I would collect the fallen crab apples in my grandparent’s backyard and throw them in a bucket. Then I would get a penny an apple. My grandma called this pin money. I think it was child slave labor, but ya know, tomato, to-mah-toe. The idea of pin money stayed with me…
Today I am delighted to share a guest post with you from Anum Yoon, a personal finance blogger and freelance writer who strangely enough, found her passion for money management through her extensive travels around the world. Since deciding to settle in the US, she has been faced with the task of becoming a responsible…
Yesterday I was out eating dinner with one of my cast members and I told her about my mini money challenge and how I wasn’t exactly nailing it – trying to live entirely off your per diem is something that a lot of folks do, so I learned she was trying to do the same…
Today I’m really excited to share an interview I did with one of the members of my cast, Cat Greenfield – busker, model and puppeteer extraordinaire (cough, cough, hire her, cough, cough). We were hanging out the other day and she mentioned that she busks in NYC and immediately my personal finance wheels started spinning…
Today I am so excited to share this guest post from Sarah Brooks with you guys. She is a wife, mom to two little girls and freelance writer and blogger over at The Frugal Millionaire, where she writes on everything from being productive with your time to sharing monthly income reports. In her free time, she…
Please welcome back Shaunta Grimes of Going Reno with another great guest post about how she side hustles as a writer. If you missed it, be sure to check out her other guest post on how she turned grocery shopping into a legit side hustle as well. Last time I wrote a guest post for…
Profile I am thirty years old and I still work as an assistant production manager. I’m debt free, live in one of the most expensive cities in America, and my yearly salary is $53,560. Saving & Spending Who maxed out her IRA this month? That’s right, this girl. Take that Money Manifesto for IRA 2014…
Profile I am thirty years old and this is the first accountability update of my thirties. I am so going to nail this decade. It’s the year of Mel. I work as an assistant production manager and to start out the year of Mel, my yearly salary increased to $53,560. Not a huge jump, but I’m…
Profile I am twenty-nine years old. I work as an assistant production manager and my yearly salary is $52,000. Saving & Spending Ugh. This is a month I don’t really ever want to repeat. Financially, it’s actually been a good one. It was a 5 payday instead of 4 payday month and I wound up…
