Get fake (pressed) xanax bars off darkweb for $1-3 each
Sell for $5-10 each
The only problem you'll have is having to put your phone on silent most of the time because the fucking degenerates won't leave you alone.

(Don't do this you'll do at least 90 days in jail if you get caught, and that's the minimum if you're dealing with a weak prosecutor in a weak on crime state.)

To this day the best suggestion in this thread is putting your room on Airbnb.

Buy a used reliable car and rent it on Turo. 20-30 dollars a day for sedans, 500/monthly. I'll be doing this as soon as I buy a house.

I read somewhere about a guy in Japan who put adds in the classified sections of magazines marketed towards pet owners that he would paint a portrait of the owner and their dog/cat. They just needed to send him a photo of them and their pet. He would charge slightly below the Japanese market rate for a private portrait, but he actually had people in China paint the portraits for him, at a substantially lower cost than he charged. He was the only one in Japan offering this service.

If he was charging $800 for a portrait and paying someone in China $200 to actually paint it, plus spending $100 on the shipping and handling between China and Japan, and averaging one portrait order a day, you can see that he was likely making a low-six-figure income on just an hour or two of work a day.

As you can see, this is a way to find a lucrative hustle. Check out different lifestyles and hobbies with dedicated participants. Think of a service that they would be interested in which is currently not offered and advertise it in a place that they will notice. Then deliver with a quality service so that they'll talk you up in their online forums. Probably best to have several of these kinds of hustles going at once.

Along the same lines is the conference/convention organizer hustle. You organize a big conference for some kind of group, perhaps fans of an old TV show, maybe pit bull owners, anything. You line up credible/reputable speakers in that area of expertise, rent the venue, advertise it, then charge the market price for attending. Pocket the extra. While this may sound like a pie-in-the sky hustle, a relative of mine actually did make in the high six-figures/low seven-figures (he didn't tell me exactly how much he made, but I can tell by his lifestyle in retirement) doing this over several years with sports health conferences. One thing he did to make it more attractive was that he rented facilities at a big-name university to host the conference, but otherwise the university had no connection with the event. But, many of the attendees probably associated the university name with it, giving it more prestige.
