32-year-old turned Airbnb rental into a $205,000-a-year side hustle—here's a ‘large part' of what made it successful...Jamie Inlow started out with an idea, no business or real estate experience, and a $2,000 gift from her neighbor.He gave her the money to furnish the empty apartment above a barn on his Scottsville, Virginia, property, which housed Merino sheep. She listed the apartment on Airbnb in 2019, and split the profits with him.Inlow always hoped she could grow that listing into a full-time gig, creating a corporate entity called Be Still Getaways to manage the one property.But even as revenue came pouring in, she struggled to turn enough of a profit to live on, relying instead on the $50,000 per year she earned as a consultant and student program director at the University of Virginia.By 2021, Inlow and one full-time staffer managed 30 listings, bringing in $205,000 in revenue. Much of that money went toward maintenance, repairs and adding properties to Be Still Getaways’ portfolio. Inlow paid herself $10,000 that year, she says.Profit margins were slim because the rentals were small, relatively inexpensive single-family units. By the summer of 2022, Be Still Getaways had a strong enough reputation — and a partnership with a local real estate agent — for Inlow to finally add larger, more luxurious vacation rentals to her portfolio.Revenue skyrocketed, enabling her to hire more people and quit her two other jobs.Today, Be Still Getaways runs 129 properties in Virginia. It brought in $2 million in revenue last year on rental platforms like Airbnb, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It.Her husband also left his teaching job to work at the company. They make a combined $150,000 from Be Still Getaways per year, Inlow says.Here, Inlow discusses what she wishes she’d known in the beginning, the biggest difference between running a side hustle and a full-time company, and whether her success is replicable for other people.Questions : You started a company with practically no business experience. What do you wish you’d known at the time?Jamie Inlow: A large part of my success is my demeanor. I consider myself to be an incredibly resilient and ambitious person. It might come across as hyper-fixation, but when I decide to do something, I’m going to do it.It’s one of my favorite things about myself. I will keep trying to figure things out until they’re successful. It’s not easy for me to walk away from anything.When I was managing 20 properties by myself, I made a lot of compromises in contracts. Two years ago, if someone reached out and said, “Hey, I live at this local property six months out of the year. Can you manage it the other half?” I would have said, “Yes, we’ll make it work. Whatever you want, we will do it.”Those decisions felt important at the time to find and keep partners. Looking back, I don’t think I needed to make those sacrifices. I think that knowledge comes from experience, and success comes from knowing what you’re capable of, what your team is capable of.I would go back and tell myself, “This is your business. There will always be other contracts. You don’t have to do something if it’s not the right fit.”Do you think your side hustle is replicable? If so, what do people need to start managing their own rentals?There’s a huge need for short-term rental property managers, so if you want to do it, do it.But you need to identify immediately: What’s the product? Who are we going to hire? What are our standards?Even though I started with a barn, I knew I wanted to manage boutique luxury properties. I knew we could never compromise our cleaning standards, and had to hire self-starters.You need cash to hire lights-out staff, too. As we grew, I looked at the numbers and realized I couldn’t do everything myself. I’m a mom to a young child, and I was already struggling with work-life balance.The idea of taking on all those roles was also a tipping point for me. I invested in hiring good people and paying them before I ever paid myself.What’s surprised you the most about the difference between running a side hustle and being a full-time CEO?I sometimes have to take a step back and remember I love this line of work.When I was a one-man team hosting the barn, I lived for meeting our guests and hearing them gush about their experiences. But the higher you advance in your company, the further removed you are from the reaction to the product.We have a shop at one of our motels, and sometimes I’ll take a break and take my son over to check things out. I’ll do small tasks, like putting drinks in the fridge or popcorn on the shelves.When I roll up, the string lights are on and everyone’s out by the firepits and I get to interact with people. Guests will say, “We love it here!” It reminds me why I do this. It fills up my cup so much.RELATED POSTS;EARNED $5100 PER MONTH ON COPYWRITING.....EARNED $400,000 PER YEAR ON FIVERR....SELLING ON INSTAGRAM WITHOUT WEBSITE........IMAAN-STORE/SHOP...........

8-year-old's side hustle makes up to $113,500 per year—and it only costs $50 to start....When Carter Osborne needed extra cash for graduate school tuition, he decided to monetize his strongest skill: writing.It was 2017 and Osborne realized he could get paid to advise high school seniors on their college admissions essays. He himself met with a consultant before applying to Stanford University, where he was accepted in 2013.He went back to that mentor for help getting the side hustle off the ground. Because the demand for admissions consultants was on the rise, she referred three of her clients to him.Osborne had planned to shutter the side hustle after he finished his master’s degree in public administration two years later, but at that point, he realized it fulfilled him to help kids with their essays. Plus, it was lucrative. By 2021, Osborne “snowballed” 40 clients, and made $113,550, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It.He scaled down the operation to 33 clients last year, primarily because the expectations of his full-time jobs as a public relations account director were increasing. He still made $77,120, and Osborne says the average of the last two years is slightly more than he makes at his full-time job.The upside: The side hustle costs almost nothing to start, he says. Osborne, who works with clients remotely, estimates he spent $50 to create Zoom and Squarespace accounts. The extra cash is helpful, Osborne says: He recently used his padded savings to buy a house with his girlfriend in Seattle, Washington.The side hustle isn’t totally cost-free, though. October through December, when application deadlines loom over high school seniors’ heads, Osborne works a combined 70 hours per week between his two jobs.“There’s just no getting around it. When we get down to deadlines, you’ve got to push,” Osborne, 28, tells CNBC Make It. “I often say to my friends, ‘Hey, I will see you in January.’”Here, Osborne details how he started and maintains his six-figure side hustle:Question : Do you think your side hustle is replicable?Osborne: I think it’s absolutely replicable for anyone who wants to spend some time learning how to break down the college essay writing process and engage in it.But you need a couple of things to get started: You need a good mentor, someone who’s been in the field and knows how all this works. It could be asking a private consultant like me, or school counselors who are trained in this.Being on the admissions and counseling side is a different game than applying yourself. It takes knowledge of the specific ways admissions readers will approach these essays, and how schools look for things today versus 10 years ago.The admissions process does seem to be constantly changing. Without giving away any trade secrets, how do you stay up to date on what schools expect from students?You have to know what’s changing in the world of college admissions. This year has been crazy, considering the Supreme Court decision [overturned affirmative action] and schools are talking about legacy admissions. If you’re not on top of the news cycle, you’re going to be behind when students ask you questions like, “Should I talk about race in my personal statement?”I also subscribe to a lot of colleges’ newsletters and I am working on getting some freelance articles published. Working on pieces forces you to engage critically and it requires me to do a lot of research on mental health and college admissions.How do you help students improve their essays without making it yours?There’s an ethical line. My first meeting with students is an hour to 90-minute interview where we brainstorm as many ideas as possible. I record their answers, but just act as a sounding board and ask them questions to help them think critically about how their life experiences could fit into a personal statement.When people start writing text for students or suggesting new content, that’s where you could get into hairy territory. The initial rough drafts are never great, and I can’t write their essays for them.If I need them to dig deeper into an idea, I only pull notes and make suggestions based on things that they’ve told me. I’m not going to create a brand new thought on the page here without running it by them. And it’s certainly going to be woven from things they’ve already told me.How do you set boundaries to maintain a work-life balance during the height of admissions season? Do those boundaries help you prevent burnout?During admissions season, the one or two months when it gets really hot, I don’t maintain a good work-life balance. In 2021, my busiest year, I never took a day off, and started to feel burnt out.My biggest symptom was I started to lose focus. I’d log onto the full-time job in the morning, and within 30 minutes, I’d feel distracted. I was a little more irritable, and forgetting things more easily. Friends would reach out, and I’d completely miss their texts.But this year, I made an adjustment: I do my full-time job during the day, take a half-hour break, then start three meetings in a row, which takes me until about 9:30 p.m. It sounds counterintuitive, but the reason I do it is to keep my weekends open and give myself two days off, something I never used to do.Now, I can go on short trips with my girlfriend, visit family or just take a genuine break and recharge.RELATED POSTS;EARNED $189,000 PER YEAR OFF SIDE HUSTLE.....EARNED $5000 PER MONTH WRITING FOR OTHERS.....IMAAN-STORE/SHOP...........

How a 22-year-old earning $77,000 per month as a car detailer in West Palm Beach spends his money....Outside Randy Roblero’s single-story family home sits his cargo van, emblazoned with the red and blue signage for his company, Beyond Limits of Palm Beach, a mobile car detailing business in West Palm Beach, Florida.The van isn’t just for advertising — a “moving billboard,” he calls it. It’s also his office. Inside is everything he needs to clean and restore vehicles: an electricity generator, a 100-gallon water tank, pressure washer, Shop-Vac vacuum, waxing equipment and various cleaning products. Six days a week, Roblero, 22, works out of the van, servicing three to four clients per day. To avoid the stifling Florida heat, he usually starts at 7:30 a.m. and works until late afternoon.Roblero started cleaning cars as a side hustle when he was 18, but it wasn’t until he purchased the van in 2021 that he got the “courage” to become a full-time business owner, he says. “I felt like I was never going to find out if running my own business was meant for me unless I tried,” he tells CNBC Make It. “And I thought, ‘I’m young, I can still start over if this doesn’t work out.’”The decision has paid off so far. In January 2022, he quit his $20-an-hour entry-level accounting job at an aerospace repair company to pursue his side hustle full-time, earning $51,000 that year. In 2023, Roblero found more clients and started making money from car detailing videos posted on his YouTube channel. He’s on track to bring in about $77,000 — nearly double the $41,000 he earned at his old job.Here’s how he got there;From side hustles to starting his own business at 18.Roblero was born in Bailey, North Carolina, but has lived in West Palm Beach, Florida, for most of his life.His parents were undocumented immigrants from Guatemala who came to the United States in the 1990s. His father worked as a freelance handyman, while his mom was a homemaker who took care of Randy, his older brother, younger brother and youngest sister.Money was tight, but the family got by. It wasn’t until he recently overheard his mother talking about his father that he “realized my father lived paycheck to paycheck,” says Roblero, who earned extra cash in middle school by reselling sneakers.In high school, after “a lot of begging,” Randy’s father bought him a used 2006 Nissan Altima. He bought some all-purpose cleaner, microfiber towels, brushes and a Shop-Vac and, “I just started cleaning it inside and outside — all the nooks and crannies — making it look as good as possible.”Roblero used the car for his part-time job as a pizza delivery driver servicing the upscale, barrier island town of Palm Beach, home to Donald Trump’s primary residence, the historic Mar-A-Lago estate. The tips he earned were good, typically over $100 for a few hours of work, most of which he put into savings.After graduating from high school in 2019, Roblero enrolled at Palm Beach State College, but only stayed for two semesters. “I realized college was not for me,” he says. “I’m a hands-on type of person, I like to go out and do actual physical things,” he says.Instead of going to school, Roblero worked full-time at the aircraft repair company. But he kept thinking about starting a car detailing business, inspired by the effort he put into maintaining his own vehicle.In May 2020, he decided to go for it. He spent $2,500 from his savings on a trailer and supplies, then set up Instagram, Facebook and Google My Business accounts to advertise his company.• Finding early success with his company.During the first few months, about a quarter of Roblero’s customers were friends or family, while the rest were people who discovered the company through its social media accounts. Repeat customers and referrals led to more bookings, as did curious neighbors of clients who happened to be walking or driving by while he was cleaning their vehicles. This happened at least once per booking when CNBC Make It filmed Roblero over two days.But despite garnering a customer base, he was still figuring out the basics of running a business. “I didn’t know how to do pricing, so I started low,” says Roblero, who doesn’t remember the exact rates he initially charged. Currently, he charges $120 for a simple cleaning to $350 for a full detailing package.In 2022, he purchased the van for $8,000 and spent another $2,500 on upgraded equipment. But by then, he was earning enough to leave his 9-to-5 and focus on the car detailing business full-time.“Basically, I took a leap of faith and went full-time with car detailing,” says Roblero. “If I wasn’t going to do it then, I was never going to do it.”In January 2023, he started a YouTube channel, where he shares weekly behind-the-scenes videos of his car detailing process.It became an unexpected source of revenue. Videos titled “How To Start a Car Detailing Business With Only $500” and “How I Make $700 in 5 Hours Detailing” attracted hundreds of thousands of views, which led to ad revenue and paid sponsorships. By the end of 2023, Roblero expects to earn over $77,000, with about $18,000 coming from YouTube revenue alone.• Dealing with a family tragedy;In the early days, Roblero’s father encouraged his business. “I remember one day he came up to me and told me he was very proud of me,” he says. “You’re from here, you’re in America. You can achieve things that me as an immigrant can’t do,” Roblero recalls him saying.But in September 2020, just three months after he started the company, Roblero’s father collapsed from cardiac arrest. Although doctors were able to resuscitate his heart and get him breathing again, he never fully recovered due to a lack of oxygen to his brain. He died a few months later, in April 2021.“When my father passed away, it was pretty devastating,” says Roblero. “We took a huge financial hit. My mother had to start working again. My brother had to start working overtime at his job. We all came together to provide financial stability for the family.”Roblero says he spent around $15,000 of his savings on medical and funeral costs. To make matters worse, the landlord sold the house they were renting, forcing the family to find a new home. Roblero, his older brother, mom and sister now share a new place, with Roblero and his older brother covering the monthly rent, which is $700 higher than their previous home. His brother covers all the utilities for their new home.As a result of his father’s medical expenses and increased rent, Roblero took on more bookings for his car detailing business in the wake of the tragedy: “I had to work more than I ever had in the past.” How he spends his money?Here’s how Roblero spent his money in June 2023;• Rent and utilities: $1,000.• Discretionary expenses: $798 for entertainment, clothing, dental braces.• Food: $549 for groceries, restaurants.• Transportation: $189 for gas, car insurance.• Phone: $35 his portion for a family plan.• Subscriptions and memberships: $12 for Sam’s Club, SoundCloud, video editing appRoblero’s business brings in around $6,500 per month, and he puts about $1,500 to $2,000 back into it each month. After taxes, his take-home pay comes to about $3,200 per month.Roblero rarely splurges, but when he does it’s on meals with his girlfriend, or on travel or entertainment, like spending $460 at Walt Disney World in June.Roblero’s biggest indulgence is a red Ford Mustang that he purchased for $17,000 in 2018: “I wanted a nice car.”Otherwise, his household expenses are kept low by splitting the costs with his family. If Roblero has extra money each month, he puts that back into the business. However, he has no personal investments or retirement savings. That’s “because I’m focused on my business,” he says, although he intends to put money into investments “later down the road.”• Looking ahead,Going forward, Roblero would like to invest in more vans so he can take on more clients and expand throughout Florida. He sees himself eventually managing the business and hiring employees to clean cars.“I wake up and I go to sleep thinking about my business,” he says.Making more money is a goal too — at least enough so that his mom doesn’t have to work anymore. “I want my family to be more financially stable than it is today,” he says.It’s also about “doing my own thing and seeing what I can achieve, what my abilities are.”RELATED POSTS;EARNED $245,000 PER MONTH ON YOU TUBE CHANNEL.....EARNED $8000 PER WEEK ON AFFILIATE MARKETING......INSTAGRAM SPONSORSHIP.........

24-year-old barista’s side hustle earns $9,000 a month, more than her full-time job—it only takes 8 hours a week.....The idea behind Morgan Eckroth’s social media business is simple: Create the “warmness and comfort of a coffee shop” online.She’s pulling it off, if her six million TikTok followers are any indication.Eckroth launched her account, MorganDrinksCoffee, as an experiment to hone her social media marketing skills in June 2019.She never intended to make a living from it — but now, her videos recreating orders and reenacting coffee shops earn her up to $9,000 per month, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It.The 24-year-old’s side hustle involves posting on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. Her revenue comes from ads, branding deals and merchandise sales. It only takes her about eight hours per week, and it’s far more lucrative than her other time-consuming jobs, she says.Eckroth is also a competitive barista and marketing strategist for coffee brand Onyx Labs, where she makes $45,000 per year. Last year, her total income was $141,000. But turning what you love into work can be dangerous.“I’ve had to put boundaries in place so I don’t burn out,” she says.Here, Eckroth details how she built her six-figure side hustle, what those boundaries look like and what you should know before trying to make money on social media.How did you learn how to create content that would attract an audience of more than six million followers?Eckroth: My high school experience was very shaped by being on Tumblr, so I’ve always been pretty aware of the social landscape and things that trend online.While I was getting my degree [at Oregon State University], I always knew I wanted to go into media marketing and digital advertising. I started making TikToks as practice, and it was a very natural progression.My content on TikTok and Instagram is short-form, vertically oriented sketches focusing on barista life — like how baristas really react when they say, “Enjoy your drink,” and you respond, “You, too!”I started my YouTube channel for my capstone project in February 2020, and it gradually gained traction. My YouTube has always been geared toward [videos about] skill building and the actual technique of making coffee.How does having a successful social media business affect the way you consume social media?I try my best not to consume my own content or other coffee content online. Otherwise, social media starts to feel like work all the time. That was a small shift that made a really big difference.There are times, like days when I’m filming, when I need to scroll through platforms to be analytical, research and find inspiration. Those timeframes are strict now. I don’t drag filming into the evening when I’m not brewing coffee.Eckroth, a decorated competitive barista, won the 2022 U.S. Barista Championships and was the runner-up in 2023.I do track numbers and pay attention, but I think I do it a lot less than other [content creators]. I only create content that feels authentic to me — and what I think will connect to other people in the service and hospitality industry — in hopes that people will follow along with it.I’ve also had to carve out hobbies for myself that are not monetizable. When I’m not doing my multitude of jobs, I’m usually in vintage bookstores, looking for science fiction and fantasy books.I enjoy creative writing, too. And I have tons of ongoing writing projects that aren’t anywhere on the internet. Those are just for me.What should people know if they want to start their own social media side hustles?Social media [as a side hustle] is cool because there’s a pretty low barrier to entry. But I do hesitate to say anyone can do it — or rather, that anyone should do it.It’s very easy to lose yourself, your voice, if you’re just online and posting what everyone else is. I think you need to have a thesis for why you’re making content. It’s great if that’s “I want to sell more of my product.” For me, I want to translate the coffee experience online.Having that written out for yourself is really helpful, because then you can align every video against that thesis. I always ask myself, “Am I accomplishing what I set out to on here?”That’s kind of like a boundary, too. Put those boundaries in place as soon as you can, so you don’t create something that will drag you down into burnout.RELATED POSTS;EARNED $205,000 PER YEAR SIDE HUSTLE AFTER TURNING AIRBNB RENTAL.......EARNED $113,000 PER YEAR ON WRITING COLLEGE ADMISSION ESSAY........IMAAN-STORE/SHOP..........SOCIAL MEDIA SIDE HUSTLE...........

I bring in $129K a year making ‘Gucci’ pasta in my kitchenAfter her oldest daughter went to college, Fiona Afshar found creative fulfillment in cooking, especially in making homemade pasta.Five years later, at the age of 57, Afshar now has more than 475,000 followers on Instagram who watch her videos of making pasta in a rainbow of vivid colors, shapes and patterns.In 2022, through branding deals with fashion companies like Gucci, virtual cooking classes, and online sales of her homemade pasta, Afshar brought in about $129,000.Fiona Afshar has written software, worked as a florist and raised three kids. She never thought she’d cook for money.Growing up in Iran, she was taught food meant love. “The more we feed you, the more we love you,” Afshar, 57, tells CNBC Make It.In 2018, she started her Instagram @cookingwithfiona, specifically to post instructional cooking videos she’d filmed for her daughter.Within months, Afshar grew a following. She had recently discovered how malleable pasta dough was, and posted videos of herself designing, cooking and serving brightly colored, loudly patterned noodles. Viewers were hooked. Cooking classes, brand partnerships and an online shop called Fiona’s Pasta followed.Afshar thinks her audience is drawn to her eccentric noodles for one simple reason: “If you look at every culture closely, there’s always a form of pasta. It just like leaves a really warm feeling [of] comfort.”Fiona Afshar makes $129,000 per year, primarily from selling colorful pasta boxes out of her home kitchen in Malibu, California.Five years into her cooking business, food still means love to Afshar — but now, she gets paid for it, and shares her love with nearly half a million followers.She brought in $129,300 last year, primarily from making pasta and shipping it out of her home in Malibu, California, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It.Here’s how Afshar created her pasta business — almost by accident.• A lifelong love of cooking;When Afshar was 9 years old, at the start of the Iranian Revolution, her dad moved her and her three brothers to the U.K. Then, he left to go back for their mother.Her mother had given her a cookbook, and every night, Afshar ran her fingers over the recipes, memorizing them as a source of comfort. Her parents joined the siblings six months later, but her deep connection with food remained. It was how she was taken care of, and how she learned to take care of others, she says.Afshar still has the cookbook her mother gave her before she emigrated from Iran to the U.K. at 9 years old.Tristan PelletierAfter graduating college, Afshar moved to California and worked as a software writer and consultant. She met her husband Ali in 1987, and started a software business with him before retiring to raise their three children.Except for a brief stint as a florist, Afshar didn’t work until her oldest daughter went to college. She devoted her creative energy to mastering healthy and interesting meals for her family, she says.Shortly after she started her Instagram account, she started making pasta from chef Thomas Keller’s tutorials — and her followers ate it up.“As soon as I started posting pasta, the whole social media went viral,” she says. “I’m like, ‘OK, you guys want pasta? I’ll give you more pasta.’”• A homegrown business;In 2020, Afshar started hosting virtual pasta-making classes for $35 per person. She still wasn’t in it for the money, but missed hosting and cooking for other people during the pandemic, she says. At the venture’s peak, 100 people attended per class, with folks joining from all over the world, she adds.The following year, Afshar’s brother suggested that she sell her creations. When she resisted, he gave her a proposal: Let’s open a Shopify store for one month, and if you hate it, we’ll close it.Together, they launched the virtual store, called Fiona’s Pasta. “As soon as he opened shop for me, it’s like ding, ding, ding. Sales started coming in,” she says. “I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me? People are actually paying $100 for pasta?’”Around the same time, luxury fashion retailer Ssense reached out to Afshar, a lifelong fashion lover, about a collaboration. They’d pay her to design pasta that corresponded with the logos and style of brands like Gucci and Anthropologie, and post videos featuring those pastas on social media.Those types of branding deals now make up a good chunk of Afshar’s income:Last year, they made her about $18,000. Teaching virtual classes made her an additional $16,500.Her largest source of pasta income, however, is from her shop. She sells boxes of colorful, floral and designer-based pasta anywhere from $80 to $240 on her website.• Keeping things in the family;Afshar says she works about 32 hours per week making, packaging and shipping her pasta out of her home. She spends $0 on advertising, and has her mother and brother’s mother-in-law help her roll, cut and dry the dough. They refuse to be paid, Afshar says.“Fiona’s Pasta, Cooking with Fiona, it’s more of a passion,” Afshar says. “We’re not relying on the income of it.”Afshar uses fresh ingredients, like parsley and beets, from a local market to give her pasta vibrant colors, she says.Despite bringing in six figures per year, Afshar insists that her business’s purpose is to connect with people through food and pass some of her culture to her children. She has no plans to expand her pasta-making or classroom teaching beyond her kitchen.“It just has so much potential to grow so big, but in a way, I’m holding it as a baby,” she says. “It’s so personal. It’s my art ... I don’t want to take it somewhere [to] mass produce it. I think it would lose its essence.”RELATED POSTS;THE MILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY.......SOCIAL MEDIA SIDE HUSTLE........RED FLORAL DESIGN...........
