Popular Side jobs that earn extra CASH.
It's almost 2025, and the economy is still dragging. Business is slow and you're twiddling your thumbs waiting for business to come in. Maybe it's time to earn some cash while you wait....but what?
Here are the top most popular side-hustles people are doing.
Some side-hustles could even turn into new careers or businesses. It's all up to you!
1.) Driving or Delivering-
If there's no bus or train available, how will folks get around!? People are turning to Uber and Lift! If you have reliable transportation, you can work as a rideshare or delivery driver such as working for Uber, Lift and DoorDash. There is also Instacart and GrubHub which all work with drivers to complete rideshare and/or food or merchandise deliveries. You can be a great service to your community, and at the same time earning some extra income.
2.) Mowing or Landscaping-
Every home owner has the problem of lawn and landscape care to worry about. Starting your own mowing/landscaping business can be a great option, especially if you enjoy being outside and working in nature. You can offer mowing, weed trimming, leaf cleanup, yard waste haul-off or even landscaping services.
3.) Handyman Services-
Besides lawn care, you can earn extra money as a handyman. A handyman is someone who is skilled in tackling “fix-up tasks” like repairs and maintenance work. A local handyman who is someone they know in their area, and has reasonable costs can be a well needed service and side-business for yourself.
4.) House Cleaning-
Similarily, the need EVERYONE has is for 1.) peace of mind and 2.) a clean home!
Everyone wants a clean house, but we’re all busy, and it’s hard to find the time to get it done. Customers are willing to pay to outsource the labor of cleaning their homes, and if you like to clean, you’ll find an enthusiastic customer base.
5.) Care Giving (For Pets and People!)
For Pets: If you love dogs and being outside, you could start a dog-walking business. You’d travel to your customers’ homes to pick up their pets and walk them for a set amount of time — and, of course, clean up after them as needed.
For People: Check out and make a profile through Care.com. You can find jobs being a caregiver and provide home services for elderly or those with special needs, either children or adults, if you have some training and experience.
6.) Teaching/Tutoring-
If you play an instrument or sing, or you speak one language or 10, you could start a side hustle teaching lessons! Build a website that showcases your skills and experience then reach out and market your business locally.
7.) Consulting - If you have a lot of experience in a specific industry, you could offer your services as a consultant to help others succeed! Create a website that describes your specialty service, education, training and experience. Get the word out to your local community, join the chamber and build a Facebook Page.
8.) Reselling-
Reselling can be big business. If you have a knack for finding great deals at flea markets and thrift stores, you could turn your shopping hobby into a reselling business. There's Etsy and Facebook Marketplace, or local consignment shops to sell your specialty goods through.
9.) Beauty Services-
Beauty services are a great side hustle idea if you’re already skilled at cutting or styling hair or applying makeup and enjoy working directly with customers. Prom, engagement photos and more!
10.) Photography Services-
If you love to take pictures for fun, consider monetizing your hobby and offer wedding or family event photography as a side hustle. Even combine the make-over and the photo shoot if you have skills in both!
11.) Donating your Plasma! (According to goodrx.com )
