What to do with your money?

Looking for ways to build serious income on the side. How do you guys invest your money, and how do you make extra money with little to medium investments (free time limited given IB hours) ?

I’m already in the stock market (S&P and some tech stocks) and crypto. Any other ways you are guys making money ? Maybe real estate, side business like drop shipping ? Ideally I want to exceed the 7-8% from S&P. It’s fine if I need to learn a new skill initially.
