Hey, GB...
Anybody have a small business/ firm/ start up/ side hustle? Either in addition to your regular job or as a go-for-broke opportunity to become a millionaire?
I've been kicking the tires at starting a new business (in a completely different field) for about half a decade. Over the last year, in addition to my day job, I've been doing some freelancing as media consultation/pr for smaller film projects, bands, fashion and art projects. Not really much additional money, but it was really more about working in a more creative environment since my current 9-5 is the stodgiest, most technical place I've worked in a while.

Got an interview in a week for the Relationship Talk mod position. Good pay, 401K match, long hours but 90% no commuting. This is a tremendous growth area and online dating and advice is only projected to grow. Get it while you can.

it's not as glamorous as it seems
have a look see at who makes it work in new york, you may find a lot of fellas flee to the west coast.

Modding here pays for my drinking money plus the free sups, but not much else.

Have you considered working for Uber?

The point of the thread isn't really ideas to make money, it's to discuss your burgeoning small business or side job.

My side job is pointing out flaws of other men's physiques. No homo

Why stop at one? Have you learned nothing from the teachings of goodrum, the more businesses the better. If you work really hard a new 24" tv and the occasional chicken dinner awaits you
-
Personal Train 3x week in early mornings @ 5am and 6am. And then 4-6x week in evenings, occasional weekends.
Gives me an extra $1200 - $1500 a month.
All have become close friends, so it's bearable.

He was actually part of the inspiration for this thread. I was texting with a music blogger about a club date I'm hosting this coming weekend and we got on the subject of a graphic e-novel project that I'm putting together. He sent me a text joking about how I must be Jamaican and I should be careful I don't get fired from my real job.
Most people at my "real job" have personal projects that they invest a lot of time in. Some make more money with said projects than others. I've never had a run-in with Vince, but he is the only member I recall who has discussed his personal business ventures.

I would do this if I needed extra cash. Except I live in a shitty little city where Uber isn't operating :)

worst "career" choice ever
1 out of 50 makes a decent living from it

An acquaintance keeps asking me to go in on an Amazon store. Haven't pulled the trigger due to being unaware of the time setting it up would legitimately take.

some side projekts involving mechanical engineering design
Similar. Got some designs for slurry/sludge pumps. Not especially genius but more advanced than the 1930s technology that's still in use on every mine site, drill rig, poop plant, and concrete truck. Will probably never find the time to build them and if I do it would just be for personal use in shotcrete and stucco spraying. No way would I have the time to run around selling them or the capital to sink into saturating the market, which is what you have to do since patents are only worth your willingness to finance living in a courtroom for decades while some 3rd world manufacturer steals your design, knocks up 500,000 units, and floods the world. Spending the rest of my life and all my money running around after Xiang Xieng Trading Company wouldn't be my idea of a good time.
Wish you luck. Seems like anything new you introduce gets ripped off within 48 hours tho, patented or not. I reckon catching the front of the sales wave is the best you can hope for, or fractions of a penny on the dollar selling out/licensing to a giant.

We're starting an athletic apparel business. Shorts, Tee's, tanks, hats, beanies, hoodies, etc. Plus the coaching at the school brings in an extra $3k a month.

Personal Train 3x week in early mornings @ 5am and 6am. And then 4-6x week in evenings, occasional weekends.
Gives me an extra $1200 - $1500 a month.

You get $100 per session?

3 morning / 6 evening is 9 per week, or around 36 per month. If he's talking gross income, it's 40-50 / hr

My bad I thought he was referring to weekly pay. I sounds like 6 morning sessions, 2 sessions 3x week.

Invest in a good rental property. If it is a decent property in a good location, you will always have tenants. Screen them carefully and you'll be all set. Any expenses associated with the property are tax deductible. ;)
Buy another property when your finances allow. Repeat.

I run a nice little meth business from a trailer in my backyard.

The thread wasn't really meant to solicit business ideas, just a catch-all for anyone who wanted to talk about this kinda thing, but I have to say, while this might be considered conventional wisdom in most parts of the country, this is somewhat ill-advised for NYC.

Real estate prices in a lot of cities are artificially inflated by asian investment imo. When the average working couple can't pay off an average mortgage without skipping lunch for 30 years and the interest repayments alone approach rental income, it's time to extend a middle finger to the whole shitshow.
This all ties in to my Dead Parents Theory of Home Ownership Because The Math Doesn't Work Otherwise, but I'll spare you. People who advise existing in a leveraged state never had a fat kid jump on the other side of the teeter-totter.

I can see you looking at a nice little potential rental property and going "Bay Likey" Hahaha!!!

I own my own small hardcore training facility. Best decision I ever made leaving all the box gyms and going out on my own. Everything a fat and happy weightlifter needs. We also accommodate bodybuilders, gym rats, some strongman and some fitness hotties :)
