The McCauleys make their money by researching what makes side hustles profitable, testing them and teaching others how to do the same on YouTube. The Grand Rapids, Michigan-based couple earned nearly $140,000 from eight streams of income last year, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. Ease of starting is at an all-time high: Platforms like Amazon, Airbnb and Fiverr offer instant access to paying customers. Kindergarten teacher Becky Powell's side hustle — making worksheets for other educators — brings in six figures per year. Her husband also sells worksheets on the platform, and they've used their combined earnings to fund vacations and pay down their mortgage and student loans, Powell says.

"I think you can be successful with more side hustles than you think," Cody Berman, who co-runs online printables course Gold City Ventures, told CNBC Make It in January. In seventh grade, she started selling leggings for teen girls who couldn't afford larger, trendy brands. Bella Lin, 17, started a side hustle to give her guinea pigs more quality of life. Your ability to stay up-to-date on industry trends and audience demographics can affect your earnings over time, Etsy seller Tim Riegel told Make It last year. Riegel started his side hustle — making and selling steel fire pits — in 2021.

Tim Riegel brought in $169,000 selling 275-pound fire pits in the last 12 months. Six months ago, Tim Riegel bent over his computer, reviewed his monthly earnings statement and saw that his highly lucrative side hustle was making less money. Within six months, freight trucks were delivering his products to Etsy buyers across the U.S. and Canada. I'm constantly looking at my competitors — not just on Etsy, but throughout the U.S. — to see who's making similar types of pits, and their pricing. I'm sure people can replicate it, if they have similar skills — like welding, creativity and the know-how to source the steel.

Tim Riegel, 59, started making fire pits out of propane gas tank ends a year ago. With inflation on the rise, Tim Riegel wanted a side project for extra income — so in September 2021, he bought seven $90 propane tank ends off Facebook Marketplace. The fire pits proved popular: They sold out in just 10 days, and Riegel was inundated with requests for more. Riegel started his business with seven tank ends that he bought off Facebook Marketplace for $90 each. In June, his highest-earning month to date, he made $16,000 selling fire pits, most which are priced between $600 and $1,700.
