I'm exploring Amazon FBA. Is not a success story because I'm still in the midst of it, but from what I'm seeing it is something that I can learn, my tech salary allows me to save for some capital and try that business.

Before this I explored day trading, which also has the potential to create money on the side. It does take a lot of training and risks...

Another option which I've done too is taking contracts, configure a server, update a website, etc.

Good luck!

amazon fba works well as a side hustle. There was a lot of upfront work but then became mostly automated/ passive. I ran one for a couple years whilst working as a PM and eventually sold it.

That's really cool! I'm hoping to have it grow to a point where it can be sold too. If you wanna share some FBA wisdom, I'm all ears :)

But it's really encouraging to hear about other people that have done it since what I'm facing right now is mostly fear TBH, Idk, fear of unknown, fear of failing, and whatnot... I'm thinking that to get over that I'll just pick a few products, order 50 or so from Aliexpress, learn the game and scale from there.
