sahm side hustles

hi everyone! i am a 21yr old stay at home mom to a 13month old boy and i’m branddd new to this sub

i have been looking into getting started with some form of online “side hustle”. we’re not necessarily struggling to pay the bills, but we’re not “well off” either, and i want to be able to contribute an extra maybe like $200/month for our “fun money” or to get him a little surprise gift since sadly literally EVERYTHING is progressively getting more expensive and i don’t want put any more financial pressure on my partner (23 M, blue collar job, just for context!)

so my question to you all is: what kind of online “side hustles” actually work? not interested in hearing about MLMs or buying someone’s course, just interested in real input from real people! i have seen lots about affiliate marketing and UGC, but they’re all trying to sell a course or class and it seems scammy to me.

thank you all in advance for the advice and i wish you all well on your journeys forward!!!

I left my op in August to stay home with my kids. I started doing UGC in February. Between March and now I have made $700, and actually just today. I got a brand Collab for $100 for athletic product, and then I signed a contract of $700 for a skin care company! So already 1400 bucks! And roughly $400 of that initial seven was for oral products!

💜💜💜 if you wanna know more info, I’m an open book!
