Hey Reader, We came across another cool side hustle this week and thought you’d want to hear about it. It’s called Thumzup, and it pays regular social media users $10–$20 per post to promote local businesses. No big following needed—just a willingness to post about places you already go. That’s exactly how Iman Wims got started. She was just enjoying a day at Venice Beach when someone offered her $20 to post a photo on Instagram. A few hours later, the money hit her account. Now? She’s turned it into a $300/month side gig—and picked up a few outside brand deals along the way. We asked her to walk us through exactly how she makes it work, what kinds of posts perform best, and how other people can start doing the same thing. - Ben P.S.

I earned $13.91 in a week with minimal effort—mostly by stacking quick, high(er)-value tasks. It's not perfect by any means, but worth checking out if micro-task sites are up your alley. |
