As you might’ve heard on several podcasts about entrepreneurship, there are endless ways of making money. Nowadays, you don’t need to work a 9 to 5 job at an office to get some dough.

However, people use much stranger methods to make a living. No, we don’t mean selling their bathwater. Here are some of the oddest money-making ways we’ve seen people embrace!
