In her viral video, TikTok user Anne Marie Hagerty (@annemariehagerty) shared her advice on “how to be scrappy” with her followers.
“I’m going to give you a very specific side hustle that pays a minimum of $100 an hour and you don’t need any experience,” she said.
She clarified that her set-up wasn’t a “weird e-commerce thing” and didn’t require any investing on her part.
Anne Marie revealed that she has started modeling to help tide her over during her unemployment.
She explained that you don’t have to look runway worthy to qualify for the work.
According to the TikToker, men and women can apply to be “casual models.”
Anne Marie informed her audience that the work is usually for style shoots for photographers.
“Photographers who are working on building out their portfolios will go to style shoots and they need a few human people to be in their shots,” she explained.
While you won’t earn the rate of a “high fashion model,” Anne Marie reported that she has earned a minimum of $100 per hour doing the work.
She broke down the entire process for her viewers.
Once you apply, she explained that you will be given a location of a shoot.
On the day, you will show up and get your hair and makeup professionally done.
The stylists will then give you your wardrobe, which usually consists of one outfit for a few hours.
All you need to do then is “stand around” and take any direction you are given.
She explained that the photographer will tell you exactly how to pose for each shot.
Side hustles and tax implications
The extra income made from side hustles may need to be reported to the IRS.
If you receive more than $600 in gross payouts from a selling platform like eBay, the site will issue you a Form 1099-K to use in your tax return.
Individuals should calculate their adjusted gross income, taxable earnings, and deductions for the year.
Once they have that, they can use the 1040-ES form to calculate estimated taxes.
Anne Marie said she had “so much fun” when she attended the style shoots.
The Manhattan-based influencer added that the company she worked with are visiting cities across the United States offering the same opportunity.
She explained that you can “pop in” to the shoot for just a few hours and take home a nice sum of money.
Anne Marie encouraged all of her followers to try out the side hustle.
She pointed out that you can “survive in the wild” with just a few shoots each week.
