r/sidehustle

Hi all, I am a corporate employee in my early thirties. While work is stable, I feel the need to make extra money on the side. I have recently met a few people in the ad making business and I see a lot of people earn via gig work.

So, this is just to understand what kind of gig work can I pick up in the city to make extra income ? I am not against upskilling myself too. Video editing sounds exciting to me, is that easy/manageable to pick up ? How do I get started ?
Any and all guidance on any sort of gig work is appreciated !

Started working in logistics a bit over 2 years ago. Went from data entry and admin to recently IT. Due to some changes in the work squealer and leadership I will be looking for another job. I intend to keep on working here until the end of october to save up a bit more money.

I am looking for a side hustle to cover up some of my expenses in the upcoming period, some pocket money at least. Something that could be done at any hour of the day would be nice as I work in 3 shifts.

Currently located in eastern Europe. Some assets that could help are a powerful computer and a 3D printer.

I started posting clips on tiktok YouTube and IG for companies, and I'm getting 3$ per 1k views, I literally just repost the same videos

I've made 450 this week, literally such a good find

We are finally expecting a child after nearly a decade of trying.

We are both teachers in NC, our combined income is $110k, give or take. We have $15k in savings. I work 30 hours/week (I teach CC)

I have tutored online in the past through Chegg and Tutor.com. Tutor.com won't hire me back for some reason, and Chegg has stopped tutoring. I used to sell lecture notes to Chegg but they stopped buying things.

I'd prefer online/WFH side hustle, even if it's as little as like $250/month. Every little bit is going to help here. Would be willing to do other jobs online for $.

Any suggestions for teachers?

I recently started my car review platform and after 4 months. It finally paid off.

About 6 months ago I thought about a creative side hustle and because I had worked in the car business a long time I went by the old adage I hear from writers

You write what you know.

I started on TikTok first and in my native language, it was a slow start, I wasn’t formulaic and didn’t quite know what I was doing, sometimes I’d talk about cars and deals … sometimes food … after a month I only had about a hundred followers but didn’t think it was really going anywhere despite views sometimes hitting 15-20k on some deal analysis.

It all changed when I did my first dealer visit.

I sat in a truly despicable interior and I just started picking it apart … the window switches particularity made me realize after posting the video that people loved honesty and could relate to my opinion on quality of interiors.

Within another month I hit 2000 followers and visited several other dealers, salespeople reached out with deals, tire distributors … my god I wasn’t even at 3000 yet and some manufacturers were offering to drop off press cars.

4 months in I’m at about 6000 followers between TikTok and Instagram ( which I just started).

My take is that niche is one thing and car reviews aren’t niche … but I realize I now have figured out my formula which makes making videos almost mechanical. The income depends on who I work with but overall there’s a need at several levels for good content creation and whether it’s a compliment or a critic there’s an audience for everything.

Income

About 750$ per day spent per dealership presenting deals and reviewing cars, week easily filled up and every month can have different brands or different deals which is why I find the car business particularly interesting.

I don’t do any editing, just post organically the TikTok app is magical for stuff like that. It also helps me have the video prepare for insta the way it saves it.

In a month you can make around 10-20k but put aside half for taxes where I’m from but it still is decent and helps out. I can answer any questions if you have any

Hello guys. I just found about a website that has a special program that pays you to promote their software by simply making social media videos about it. I was wondering if other content making program like this exist. Do you know any other like this ? This is not affiliation but you are paid by videos sent and approved.

Needing to earn extra money

Still trying to find legit sidehustles to try, ive heard alot about print on demand sorta. Sadly the market seems overcrowded like most sidehustles, nor am i a artist not a good one atleast.

Im not sure if there is a chance at me trying it or if there is something better out there to try on the side?

Im not the best with ideas as you can tell.

Everyone treats view count as the scoreboard.

Matt Gray's own numbers argue the opposite: his most-viewed video made $2,400.

A much smaller one made $48,000.

The gap wasn't luck — it was the one metric neither video's view count could ever show him.

I've watched that exact blind spot play out somewhere with zero content marketing involved.

>This was way back when I started working as a young graduate design engineer for a Civil & Structural Engineering Consultancy in Malaysia. I think it was around year 2000. Time flies.My boss handed me a project to handle and follow up. It was a 200~ units of 2-story semi-detached housing estates over a piece of cascading land. Me and my follow consultants follow it up through – attended the meetings, coordinated the design, supply the drawings for the Quantity Surveyor to take quantity. You know – the usual works of what consultants normally do. It's not all we do. Sometimes we have to do some extra. For example, when the property developer do a soft launch at the show-unit, we have to be there. Why were we there? Of course, as a stand-in to lend our support. It was awkward for me -because I was just loitering around the launch doing absolutely nothing. I've managed some small-talk with fellow consultants there. But we all understand our role – to be supporters there. But it wasn't much help. There weren't many potential purchasers came in to see the soft launch. It felt off – because the market reception doesn't look great. Nothing much I can contribute there – besides being a stand-in, because those are well above my pay-grade at that time. But after that, when I recall back to that awkward event, it does seem slightly hilarious – and sad.

>Why did I bring this up? I'm sure the property developer has diligently carried out their market research and feasibility study. And if the market reception isn't as welcoming, then there's clearly gap that wasn't clearly addressed. We all know that we need to supply to what the market truly wants, not what we think they might want. No amount of shiny-objects or "Wow" factor – e.g. renovation and furniture included, etc. – would move the needle much, if that's not what the market truly wants.

Same as this data collecting – it is only useful if it helps monetize.

Or else they are just noise.

Real attention-grabbing noise, ya, but noise nonetheless.

Every post in this feed keeps circling back to the same nerve: the fear of being quietly out-earned by someone less talented but better systemized, working the exact same audience size you are.

The fix is never louder distribution.

It's building the one instrument that tells you which piece of content actually paid you.

Drop your take: are you tracking what each piece of content actually earns, or just watching the view count and hoping the math works out?

I live near a wealthy area and am trying to think of business ideas that wealthy people would pay for.

One idea I had is to provide some sort of relaxing service when they get home from work, if they work long hours or a stressful job.

The idea I had was to provide a weekly/biweekly "set up" for them: luxury bath items ready for them to use, like epsom salt, bubble bath, etc. Towel in a towel warmer.

Have a calming drink chilled for them, maybe a chilled, scented towel.

Kind of like a luxury resort service but at home.

What do you think? Do you have any other suggestions?

Or if you have any other ideas, I would appreciate it!

I started learning about the affliate program of amazon and I decided to do it using pinterest pins
Have anyone tried it?
Each time i ask somebody they try to sell me a course
I need a side hustle and if what people say is true about this amazon Pinterest thing, it would be so helpful for me
Thanks

It feels like I'm at the beginning of take off. I'd been plodding along then early July almost everyday is a new record day for views and clicks from Google.

Sites about a year old, and total money gained from the site is at about £600.

Not the best but I'm now working on a complete site redesign to hopefully increase engagement and sales.

How do you guys manage to work, commute, eat healthy, exercise, walk the dog, spend time with your kids and wife, do stuff around the house and still get 7–8 hours of sleep?

I genuinely feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day 😂

For those of you with kids and a side hustle: what’s your secret?

My background is in environmental science and art. I have not had a formal artistic job, but can paint/draw well and have a knack for design (fashion and interior, I’m good with colors/flow). I’d say I’m a people person and very friendly/easy to talk to. I’m a very good planner. I’m outdoorsy (hiking/kayaking) so active and in shape but not to do physical labor side hustles. I’ve been complimented on my voice a million times.

I work full time so I’m looking for something to supplement this in my off time. Ideally, something I could gain at least $1k/month doing (though I’d love more to save faster).

I’m looking for something like:

- Remote admin work
- Art commissions
- Interior design
- Wardrobe design
- Travel planning
- Audio book narration

I’m not opposed to something like selling feet pics but the market seems very saturated.

I’m getting to the point where I can’t possibly save for a house on my current salary, and I can’t just change jobs right now. Thank you for any advice.

Hi guys, I want to make a special trip in november and need 4000 euro tot participate. I live in the Netherlands and father of 2. Have a job, but currently I have no spare money, just 500 euro in savings.

Any great ideas to go from 500 euro to 3000 euro in 3 months?

Hi! I'm 14 years old and I want to start making money power washing. To afford more expensive equipment and start power washing driveways, I'm going to start by cleaning bins and try to get around 20-40 consistent customers ($35/month for a weekly clean, $30 for bi-weekly, $30 for a one-time deep clean, and $25 for a monthly clean). I'm just wondering if this will be good enough for the time being, or if I should save more and go for something more expensive. I'm trying to start soon, since I won't have access to the spigots during the winter months.
Also any other tips and advice is heavily appreciated!!

I am already doing freelance AI training and as I can speak fluent in English, German and French it's a nice earner - I can also code at a very high level.

Any other ways to make money please comment down below as I'm trying to make as much money as possible as fast as possible and need multiple revenue streams. the more the better.

I used to make scrunchies back when I sewed. I’m getting back into crafting and think I could sell scrunchies. I also crochet, but I’m nowhere good enough to sell my crochet.

I recently visited my auntie for the first time in years and have been getting closer with her since, and I’ve learned she’s gotten into sewing and attends craft fairs. She has a good paying job so this is more of a hobby for her, but I think I would enjoy attending craft fairs.

Anyways, is there actually a market for sewn items? My best work is with scrunchies, but I once made a kimono (although it was for a doll), and I made clothes once when I was younger. I can probably figure those things out again, but I’d prefer to sell my scrunchies.

I also used to make handmade jewelry. Genuinely really good jewelry. Like with pearls or stones and real clasps. It would be an investment to get back into making jewelry, even has a hobby, so being able to sell my creations would be really awesome.

I would attach pictures of my creations but I just moved and didn’t bring any of my finished crafts with me to save space (I left them in my room in my family home). So unfortunately I can’t show examples so people can judge whether it would be worth any money. But even without pictures, so any of you hustlers know if I can make this a side hustle? Even $50-100 a week from this would make a huge difference for me- the state I just moved to has an incredibly low minimum wage.

Because of the low minimum wage I was advised to try side hustles, and I would get a second job but I’d honestly burn out (trust me, my mental health can’t handle a second job). I think turning my hobbies into side hustles could really help me. So do you think this could be a side hustle?

So, I will add some backstory here. I have chronic health issues. My rent is going up. I live in a small studio apartment and I don't have the means to move somewhere cheaper. If I were to go on disability, which no doubt I could, it would cut my income even with a voucher. That's the why.

I am creative and good at drawing. I already do commission art and I do have some following, but even after moving to IG and some other promotional methods, its still a crowded space.

Does anyone have any side hustle ideas for someone stuck at home?

I have a lot of people skills. My ability to relate, counsel and make people feel comfortable is one of my super powers. I have a regular day job now. I dont expect a side hustle to be passive. I know I will need to work more. But my regular job doesn't have over time so I'm really looking for anything to supplement. I'm willing to put in the hours
