From Side Hustle to Six Figures: How One Machine Can Change Your Life
Share
Most side hustles are just that, side money. A little extra cash for bills or fun.
But with the right equipment, strategy, and hustle, you can turn embroidery or printing into a full-blown six-figure business in under a year.
We’ve seen it happen, again and again. Here’s how.
Step 1 – Start With the Right Machine
The machine is the backbone of your business. Whether you choose a BAi embroidery machine from PrintDirect US or a Uninet white toner/DTF printer, you need equipment that’s:
Affordable to start – as low as $128/month
Fast to learn – with unlimited live training
Reliable long-term – with lifetime US-based support

Step 2 – Identify High-Profit Niches
Here’s where people go from hobbyists to serious earners. Focus on products with big demand and healthy margins:
✅ Custom Hats for Local Businesses – Embroider logos on Richardson 112 caps at $25–$35 each.
✅ Team Jerseys & Spirit Wear – Schools and leagues order in bulk, giving you large, repeat orders.
✅ Limited-Edition Streetwear Drops – Create hype pieces with small runs to drive urgency.
✅ Corporate Uniforms & Branded Gear – Consistent reorders mean steady income.
✅ Patches – Tiny fabric, huge profit. 50%+ margins and easy to ship.
Step 3 – Run the Numbers
Example:
20 hats at $30 each = $600
Materials cost = $80
Profit = $520 from one small job a week
Do just 2 jobs a week, and you’re looking at $4,000+ a month in profit, on the side.
Scale that to multiple orders a day, and six figures is well within reach.
Step 4 – Market Like a Pro
You don’t need a huge ad budget, just consistency.
Use Instagram & TikTok to show off your creations.
Join local Facebook groups for businesses, sports teams, and schools.
Offer an “opening week” special to get your first customers talking.
Step 5 – Scale Up
Once you’re booked out, it’s time to upgrade:
Add a second machine for higher output.
Expand your product line into hoodies, jackets, bags, and patches.
Partner with influencers or local shops to get your work seen by thousands.
💡 The Takeaway:
A BAi embroidery or Uninet printing machine isn’t just a purchase, it’s the key to building your own paycheck, your own schedule, and your own brand.
