Doing a side hustle is the best way to entertain ourselves and, at the same time, get paid.
A user asked the forum, ‘What’s your most profitable side hustle so far?” Here are the top responses.
MAKING PYTHON SCRIPTS
“Making Python scripts to wrangle data via API (Application Programming Interface), do some basic math, and store it into a spreadsheet. I charge a nominal fee for hitting the Run button. Then I schedule it to auto-execute so I don’t have to be at the computer.”
CLEANING HOUSE
“I started cleaning the house for $20 an hour last year. I hustled as I went from $300 a month to 4 digits in my pocket. Now I stay home and run the company and make dumb money doing nothing.
I do like the work, though, and prefer to clean with the crews. It’s something you can do on the side or turn into a legit business.”
USER-GENERATED CONTENT CREATOR
“Becoming a UGC (User-Generated Content) creator on Fiverr. I quit my full-time job and have almost tripled my income. Crazy!”
DOG WALKING
“Dog walking on Rover. Average $40 an hour, specialize in large dogs over 150 pounds that most dog walkers can’t control.”
MOBILE DISC JOCKEY
“Mobile DJ (Disc Jockey), easy $100-200/hr for a weekend party.”
WEBSITE DESIGNING
“Designing websites for small businesses.”
TUTORING
“Tutoring. I have 20 students.”
CONSULTING
“Consulting. I joined a call for about an hour, just talking about my industry knowledge. I get over $100 per call. It comes in waves but can net me $2k quickly if I take on a few calls.”
WASHING WINDSHIELDS AND SELLING CHICLETS
“Washing windshields and selling chiclets at the border.”
SELLING CROSS STITCH PATTERNS ON ETSY
“I design and sell cross stitch patterns in PDF (Portable Document Format) on Etsy. It’s not a huge money maker because I don’t have as much time to design and stitch the samples as I would like, but I have to do it once, and then the PDF just gets automatically sent to the buyer upon purchase, so very hands off once it is done.”
INSTALLING NEW HVAC SYSTEMS
“I swap out HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, And Air Conditioning) systems on the side or install new systems and usually make $3k-4k on a Saturday or Sunday.”
YOUTUBE
“YouTube. Been clearing $4K per month from it through sponsorships.”
COACHING
“Job interview coach.”
SELLING ART
“Selling my art at artist markets.”
WORKING IN RETAIL
“I work part-time in retail. Consistent income.”
DOORDASH
“Doordash and Uber Eats.”
ABSENTEE VOTING
“Working absentee voting, and Election Day.”
OFFICIATE
“I officiate several sports throughout the year. In football, I make about $300 a week, which rolls into basketball, and I work two nights a week and make $300 for four months. I used to do this full-time in college. Slowly stepped back to only work when I want and I get a workout in.”
WORK FOR A PLUMBER
“Work for a plumber digging main drain holes. Get $300 daily.”
RESELLING
“Reselling stuff. I don’t want to say exactly. After all, I don’t want other people getting in on it because I think only a few people do what I do in my area.
I buy something for $200-600, put about 20 minutes into fixing it and letting the paint dry after, then reselling for almost twice as much. Also, it’s rare that I even have the item listed for more than three days.”
