CLEANING UP My side hustle earns $2,000 per week – it makes people’s lives easier and I came up with a clever way to get bigger tips
A MOM has revealed her side hustle of washing clothes sees her earn up to $2,000 a week and said it helps makes people’s lives easier.
Christian Sanya said returning customers’ clothes alongside cookies can sometimes help her pocket a larger tip.
She told NBC Washington that she joined SudShare – a laundry service that has been compared to Uber.
Sanya said she is one of the top earners and makes between $1,000 and $2,000 a week, but admitted she can sometimes make extra cash when delivering sweet treats.
She said: “All of my deliveries are with the Crumbl cookie and my customers love it.
“So it’s my thing. I am the Crumbl cookie girl.”
The service is designed to take the burden off those who hate washing clothes, who don’t have access to a washing machine, or can’t find time to go to a laundrette.
Sanya also revealed that her side hustle has given her “financial freedom” and the opportunity to spend more time with her daughter.
Sudshare workers are notified when they receive an order within a 10-mile radius.
Employees have the option to accept or decline the order.
Then, workers pick up their customers’ laundry, wash it and return it the next day.
The company has more than 70,000 so-called “Sudsters” since it launched in 2017, CEO Mort Fertel revealed.
Meanwhile, self-made billionaire Alexandr Wang, who co-founded the tech company Scale in 2016, revealed he initially told his parents that he would go back to school after launching the business.
Wang launched the start-up when he was 19 during his freshman year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology alongside coding specialist Lucy Guo.
The entrepreneur told Forbes: “I told my parents it was just going to be a thing I did for the summer.
“Obviously, I never went back to school.”
The scale was valued at a whopping $7.3billion last April and Wang’s 15 percent stake in the company was worth around $1billion.
The company produces data for AI applications such as self-driving cars and robotics, and experts work alongside the US Air Force, Army, Samsung, and Toyota.
And, entrepreneur Melanin King has revealed a series of ways how people can make extra money alongside their job.
One way is using the app Fiverr – which can be used to sell services.
Melanin said: “You can easily charge $50 or more depending on what you’re doing.
“If you sell your service at $50 and you get five sales a day – that’s $250 per day.”
Bargain hunters can go to thrift stores to see if they can find any gems, before reselling items on sites such as Craigslist, Facebook, or OfferUp.
Delivering food through DoorDash can also help you earn extra cash.
