Eh, minimum wage is like 10ish dollars an hour. So to make minimum wage you have to get 1 person an hour, and you can go up to like 2 people a minute. So you will probably ending up getting 2-5 people an hour, which is a lot more than minimum wage. I think if you find a busy high street this would actually work
you forgot the part where they say “no, thank you” and plug in their earphones/earpods/headphones whatever and walk away ignoring you
Here is a side hustle idea for you guys. All you need is 1 partner, a phone/camera, and a empty cardboard box. The plan is this: Walk around a busy place with your partner pretending to film you, then go up to someone and say “Would you like to buy this mystery box for $10!?!” With enthusiasm. It’s simple, they will obviously assume there is like $100, or like, a ps5 or airpods, or a iphone. Because of the popular genre of tik tok/yt-shorts. Once they buy it, simply say “Ohhh there is nothing in it, better luck next time” And walk away with a smirk on your face, because you my friend, are now $10 richer.
