Starting a side hustle [View all]

Thinking about investing a few hundred of my savings into a cricut coffee mug machine to sell customized mugs on ebay. I guess my question is. Is it a worthwhile side hustle or I'm I gonna burn a hole in my purse? My cousin does the same with homemade signs and makes quite a good amount. I just need a good way to make a little extra money.
