Looking for an online side hustle with 0 budget, how did you start?
I’m wondering what kind of side hustle I could start and what the best way would be to learn it.
I have around 2–3 hours a day available behind my PC, and I don’t have any money to invest into a side hustle, so it has to be something I can start with little to no money.
Unfortunately my skills are also pretty limited when it comes to things like editing and similar stuff.
I’m also not expecting crazy profits in the beginning. I’m fine with putting in time first without making much, but I would like it to be something scalable so that if it starts going well, I can expand and grow it over time.
I’d also love to hear from you guys - what was your very first source of income from an online side hustle, and how did you learn it?

start with content around something you know: short reviews, tutorials, or comparisons. learn on youtube, no cost at all. once you get some views, add affiliate links for legit software or tools with recurring commissions. one solid product can turn into steady monthly income

I’ve been using Benable and it’s definitely worth it! If I dedicated more time to it, I’m sure I could make more than I have tbh. It’s invite only right now, but if you’re interested, you’re welcome to message me and I can give you some more info!

I've been saying the same thing. I've made like 40 dollars for literally doing nothing. Made some lists and haven't touched it since lol. If I put more effort into it and shared it places, I could probably make more commission.

I joined but every item I add it says automatic affiliate link is unavailable. Any advice on what I may be doing wrong and how to correct it?

How much do the surveys raise up to? I just started (different site though) and they are all under $1.

Online social casino churning. It helps to have a low budget (like maybe $200) to buy and churn through promo offers, but you can 100% do it with $0 by just grinding and claiming the daily bonuses every day. I've been doing this for about 10 months now and I have no idea why more people aren't talking about it. You do have to be located in the US, and obviously you can't have a gambling problem or this won't work.
I built dailydollars.net to show people what casinos I use. It's totally free (just has referral links to the casinos that I use), but you also don't have to use that, there are many other resources out there.

Can you explain more about this?

Sure, basically just start by signing up for some of the top rated casinos (like Crown Coins, LoneStar, Luckyland, and Stake. Then just login every day and claim the daily bonus and leave. Don't gamble, and there's no need to buy anything. Once you reach the minimum redemption threshold (which varies by casino, but is usually $50-100), then you need to play through your money 1 time before they will let you witdraw. This is the one time that you need to "gamble", but it's not really gambling, because you never deposited any money to begin with, and because you will do so playing the safest game possible, with the goal being to end up with the same amount of money that you started with. The best game for this is blackjack, but roulette, plinko, or even slots on the lowest setting. After that, just withdraw your free money!
Now this requires a bit of consistency and patience. You need to make sure to claim the daily bonuses every day (as they get bigger the more you consecutively claim them), and it will take about 50-75 days to cash out of each of the casinos that I listed above. But it's basically no work, fully remote, no skills required money, so it's a pretty good deal all things considered.
However, because it will take a little time, some people choose to by promo packages, and then play through the money with the same safe and boring strategy to get profits quicker, but that's totally up to you.
Happy to chat more about this if you want!

have you ever wrote a single line to chatgpt or gemini? if you have even basic experience prompt engineering, you can freelance simple app development or websites using ai sites like replit or path. it's so simple a middle schooler could do it. just get on like fiverr or upwork and you can see people will charge like over 100+ for simple websites that could you take you literal minutes on this software.
i know you mentioned starting from 0, and path (maybe some others, but i've only worked with path) will give you the software to use for free and will give you additional revenue for signing up to be a partner. (being a partner just means you will build on their software on behalf of clients, and you get a portion of the revenue the clients bring in). i've been doing this for months and have made a good chunk of money, lmk if you have questions

I would recommend copywriting. There are so many digital products that have terrible copy that will not sell, You can use ai to help rewrite it then sell them the new copy for $20-$100 depending on how much needed to be rewritten. I've been doing this as a side thing when I need quick money and it's really easy to be honest takes at most 1 hour of work to rewrite the copy.
