20 entrepreneurs and their $500/Month side projects
A few weeks ago I posted a question on Reddit asking entrepreneurs to show and tell their side projects that were making $500+/month. This post is a summary of those projects.
Here are 20 entrepreneurs earning over $500/month online with their side gigs.
1) Flippiness
Though their journey began as more of a side-project out of necessity, they are now on the way to capturing a significant amount of market share. Let’s have a look at them.
Flippiness gives an outline on which books to buy and sell. However, if someone has already claimed all copies, the link will be invalidated. The good thing is they update the links after every one hour. Also, you will have to be careful about wrong ISBNs. In short, Flippiness allows people to make money online by buying and selling old books.
2) The Goats
This sports apparel project was launched about a year ago. Since its beginning, it has attracted a big customer base. It has become a fashion icon in the industry.
