AI agents, Airbnb, Vinted or Instagram: Which side hustles can really make you money?

Translated from German Read in German

Enough Money: Becoming Rich on the Side: What Really Works?

A podcast episode examines popular side hustles and passive income opportunities often promoted on social media. The hosts, Jan Guldner from DIE ZEIT and Laura de la Motte from Handelsblatt, discuss various ventures such as AI agents, Amazon dropshipping, and selling on platforms like Vinted. They also explore less common income sources, including renting out mobile phone antennas, garages, or one's home as a film set.

The episode aims to determine which business models generate significant income and which are overhyped or require underappreciated effort. The hosts also cover tax implications and the work required for supposedly passive earnings.
