Dan Novaes (YouTube, 2026-01-25) presents a short solo commentary ranking common side hustles from S to F. He assigns real estate investing S (passive, low-time, compounding via funds), content creation A (brand-building potential), resell C (convenient small income/decluttering), coaching C (good if skilled and enjoys it), day trading D (difficult to do reliably), and drop shipping and affiliate marketing F (time-consuming to build funnels). Each rating is followed by a brief rationale about time, risk, and scalability.

S through F tier. Side Hustles. Drop Shipping I'd say F tier because it takes a lot of time for you to actually be able to develop a business and find the funnel that actually works to sell an item, at least in this day and age. Resell. I would say C tier because a lot of people have a lot of stuff lying around and if you don't have time, you could hire an assistant to sell these things for you and it just cleans up space in your house and makes you a little bit of extra money. Content creation I would say A tier not because you can actually make a ton of money being a content creator, but because it can help build a brand and your ultimate business. Coaching if you have something that you're great at and you enjoy doing it, I think it's a great way to make a little bit of extra money while helping other entrepreneurs. C tier Day trading D tier because it's hard to make money reliably, very few people have the edge required. So I would just look at more standard investments to make a little bit of extra money and continue building your wealth. Real estate investing I would say S tier because you can invest in funds of people that are excellent at doing real estate that compound returns relatively low risk and it's something that you don't have to think about and that's the number one way to make side income is not having to spend your own time to make side income. Affiliate marketing I would say F tier because again, it takes a lot of time to build the funnel and the engine to make this all work.
