Do any of you have ways that you make money on the side? I saw that someone here makes and sells crafts at craft fairs.
I wonder what any of you do as a side or for extra income?
I have been making money on the side for most of my adult life, besides a regular job: working retail, house sitting, dog sitting, tutoring, selling used books online, etc. I belonged to a fiber art guild and we had a few tables at local craft fairs and I made great money selling pine cone wreaths.
How about this? I have been seeing these at craft fairs for years. Now someone is selling them online. There are many varieties of flavors. What I like about these is that what you don't sell, you can give as a gift, or take home and put in your pantry and make when you need cookies or something. I'd bet this person has it going on though and just keeps making and selling these, but maybe not. This time of year is a great time for something like this. I have received a few as gifts myself. I just didn't expect to see them being sold on Amazon, but more of an Etsy item. Yes, people sell them on Etsy, for much less than the Amazon price. I also think this is a bit high in price, compared to what you could buy a mix for in the store. It does not necessarily take much skill to make these, but the trickier part is setting up the account, listing it for sale, and then shipping it so that it does not get broken on the way.
