I had used this VPS to host my clothing store in the past but now I'm out of biz. It got 4 CPU cores, 16GB memory, 150GB storage and 8TB traffic.

Now that the VPS is just sitting around, how do I make some extra $50-$100/month with it?
 
I dont think you will be able to do somthing quickly without other things. WHy not to cancel ? or sell it to someone. I would buy if it has unlimited bandwith since i am looking to install my gsa and other tools to windows pc
 
Honestly, with specs like that it may be hard to consistently make $50–100/month unless you already have clients or a project idea. If you no longer need the store, the simplest option is just downgrading to a smaller VPS to keep backups/data or canceling it entirely. But if you want to experiment a bit, you could turn it into a playground server - for example install OpenClaw, run some self-hosted AI tools, Docker projects, game servers, VPN, or just use it as a learning/lab environment. Those resources are still decent for hobby projects and testing stuff.
 
If your CPU is relatively powerful, you can set up a Minecraft commercial server for profit
