In this episode of The Good Cents by Payactiv Podcast, host Eric Rosenberg welcomes Daniella Flores, a side hustle expert and founder of I Like to Dabble, to share her insights on how people can earn at least $400 a month through side hustles. Daniella dives into various side hustles and gig apps, explaining how anyone, regardless of their schedule, can build extra income while improving their financial security. Here are the key takeaways:

• Getting started with gig apps like Rover, Instacart, and Postmates is an easy way to earn money flexibly. These platforms allow people to offer services like pet sitting or grocery delivery, providing an opportunity to make extra income on your terms.
• 
  
• Many gig apps experience higher demand during holidays and busy seasons. Taking advantage of these periods, when prices surge, can help boost earnings significantly.
• 
  
• Flipping furniture, collectibles, and home decor found at thrift stores on platforms like Facebook Marketplace is a profitable side hustle. With minimal investment, you can make quick fixes and sell items for a significant profit.
• 
  
• Apps like Shift Work and Wonolo can help people find temporary or extra shifts in industries like hospitality, allowing workers to pick up additional hours and increase monthly earnings.

When selling items online, it’s essential to meet buyers in public places to avoid scams and ensure a safe transaction. Being cautious throughout the selling process makes it easier and safer for both parties.
