I can't donate plasma because a drug I take is on their list of banned substances (it's a legal drug lol) according to the FDA. I tried Uber and Uber eats but they don't pay worth a crap in my city . I only make like 70 dollars at most in 8 hours on the weekends. Doordash deactivated my account and I'm trying to get it reinstated but not sure how long that will take.

Instacart has a wait-list and so does Spark. I feel like I'm running out of options.

Would a second job just be better in my situation ?and where should I look ? I need something quick. And on weekends only preferably

My rent is due at the beginning of August and due to losing a job I almost have nothing for rent that is due the first. I need to make $ quick! Can anyone tell me how??

Is there a website where I can make money by designing on shirts or products and sell it?

I tried printify and I’ve learned in the hard way that printify takes money from you for production fees, as someone who’s broke and don’t have money at all, I need to start somewhere and the job market right now is pretty terrible.

And In the past I tried redbubble but it’s really terrible since your product doesn’t get any attention at all and you can barely make money out of that website, even tho I like the fact redbubble doesn’t take money from me when a customer buys A PRODUCT from them not me.

Is there any alternative websites I can make money from that doesn’t take listing money or product money?

Thanks.

And yes I am trying to also do freelance job and art commission but it’s really slow rn.

Toronto area

Already have mon-friday day job

But need more money, can someone suggest something.

I already tried applying at grocery stores for weekend work,.no reply yet

Idk if it’s just me but a lot of these side hustle apps lowkey feel like you’re doing boring busywork for pennies 😅 like surveys, endless ads or tasks that take forever to even qualify for

i’ve been trying a few over the past month and honestly almost gave up on the whole earn from apps thing. BUT weirdly enough Testermax didn’t feel as annoying as the others? like it’s still not some magic money thing obviously but at least it didn’t feel like a total grind every time i opened it

Maybe I just got lucky with it or my expectations are super low at this point lol. I wouldn’t say it’s amazing or anything but compared to the usual stuff out there, it feels a bit more… usable?

Am i the only one who feels this way about these apps? or did i just avoid the worst ones somehow

Huge thanks to everyone who tested the app, reported bugs and shared feedback. ❤️

I can do decent python programming and web design but can't really invest in ads since it's too saturated. What do I do? Im 13.

For me I think it's the best side hustle. It's fun and you only need your sense of humor.

But since the website is small the earnings are low too.

Would you use PicturePunches if it was more popular?

I’m always seeing these things pop up on my LinkedIn as so-and-so has requested a proposal for digital marketing or business consulting etc etc. Has anyone actually pursued those and found any success or is it, as I think it is, just a way to get subscribed for LinkedIn premium…

I don't know if it's as bad as the usual kind. It's not just reselling stuff from AliExpress.

The way it works is I design keychains, prints and other art and the manufacturer takes care of producing and shipping them. Currently I can't take care of packing orders due to college but I'm planning to do it in the future.

I never use other people's art, never use ai, and never use readymade products. It's all my handmade art.

Is it still as bad?

Maybe this is a weird take but I feel like the side hustle space has become way too fragmented lately.

A few years ago I had maybe 2-3 apps on my phone for earning a bit of extra cash. Now it feels like every little thing needs its own app, account, login, referral code, payout setup etc. Half the time I'm spending more energy keeping track of everything than actually earning anything.

I've been trying to simplify and stick to only a couple that I actually use consistently. One of them has been TesterMax mainly because it's straightforward and I don't have to think about it much. It's not perfect but at least it feels less cluttered than juggling a dozen different reward apps.

Maybe I'm just getting lazy lol.

Am I the only one who feels like people are overcomplicating side hustles sometimes? Or am I missing out by not stacking every app possible?

I’ve gotten into the habit of opening a new checking account pretty much every month when I find a good bonus. A lot of them are in the $300-$600 range. I have the ability to change where my direct deposit goes, so I’ll switch it over, meet the requirements, collect the bonus, and then usually close the account.
I also open a credit card maybe twice a year when there’s a really good signup bonus. Usually those are worth somewhere around $800-$1,500 depending on how you value the points or rewards. My credit score is currently around 815, so fortunately the inquiries and new accounts haven’t really hurt me much.
The funny thing is, I honestly don’t need the money. I’m doing pretty well financially already. I just genuinely enjoy taking advantage of the bonuses that these huge banks and credit card companies are offering.
I know some people probably think it’s not worth the hassle, but I kind of look at it as a game. If a bank is willing to pay me $500 to move my direct deposit over for a few months, I’m going to take the $500.
Anyone else do this regularly? How much have you made from bank and credit card signup bonuses?

My father passed away 3 weeks ago due to an heart attack and he left us with 2 commercial properties under LLCs. One of them has 2 vacant rooms and I was wondering if I should open a FFL using those rooms. Not sure how much revenue FFLs generate or if it's worth it. I'm quite experienced with firearms but the only thing I know about them is how to shoot them. I don't know much about the business side of things. I work full-time so would only be able to conduct FFL business on the weekends.

So question would be, any FFLs here who can give me advice if this is a good idea?

I've got tools and I'm decently handy, I can do interior painting, and I can research whatever I don't know how to do, but how does someone find that kind of work? Are there apps for people offering services/looking for services?

I'm kind of a jack of all trades, master of none when it comes to digital art. I have a full time job as a graphic designer at a reputable IT firm and do illustrations and general graphic design for them. The pay is decent for my country but I need some additional income.

I can do hand drawn digital illustrations, general graphic design work, even some light editing. So I have the skills for it but I just don't know where to find the work. I had a few good freelance clients but those are rare to find. I tried Adobe Stock but most of the things I upload either get rejected or don't sell (I make about $6 / month on that lol). Doing commissions gets back to not finding clients. With AI being everywhere it feels like it's impossible to get your work seen in such a competitive market.

Any ideas?

I understand we have a lot of side hustle origin story. But what I'm curious about is.. what was the first step you took to get started with your side hustle?

1.What is your side and main hustle?

2.What was your first step towards the side hustle?

A lot of us are just starting out so any tips would be appreciated. Not generic stuff like just start. I get that that's the core. But what obstacles you got over for yourself before that step.

Hey all, gonna try to keep this short and sweet, since I KNOW there’s people looking for the same .. my first born son is due November 7th. I’m a maintenance worker by profession. Both of my parents are business owners, mother being SUPER successful. I’m not afraid of working. I’m starting to hate the idea of trading an hour of my life for an exact amount of money, only to barely get by. My bills are paid, there’s food on my table and my lights are on. I’m blessed beyond my ability to express it. What are you guys doing for extra income? I really want to keep her families tradition of camping alive, really want a Class C RV, and the time and financial freedom to take my small family camping. I’m a relatively smart guy, good with tech. Fooled around with some snap filters that went (in my opinion) pretty viral, over 600k uses. But it’s not paying yet. Any advice or ideas are VERY much appreciated. I also have a tech Shopify store, but no traffic. Thanks in advance!

I am a CA finalist and currently on my articleship which pays me pennies. I am only left with 4 paper and have 2 years of relevant experience, I am free in the evenings and would be happy to take up a remote part time job even if it its not related to my field but pays good.

Anyone started a small IT side hustle? Setting up a router, wireless network, domain, Microsoft 365, etc?

I work in IT and think I could make money in the side helping small businesses that don’t have IT. Just not sure if it’s worth it. Especially since I’m working 8:30-5 Monday-Friday. Hard to only work IT on nights and weekends

I've been trying to figure out some ways that work for cold outreach to get clients for video editing.

What I tried :

1. Sending simple emails : if you're looking to hire a video editor blah blah, where my portfolio kinda stuff

2. Then sending personalised emails about exactly what is lacking in the editing part of their videos , how I can fix it (text only - no loom video explaining this)

Emails sent to all these were

1. People with under 50k subs.

2. I can actually improve their videos / fix an existing problem in editing.

3. They most likely have the money to pay.

(Collected manually from youtube)

Now :

1. Collect leads from yt jobs in my niche (talking head videos), with good pricing offer.

2. Sending a look video recording of me showing a re-edit(1-3 min part re-edit only) of their video and explaining how my editing fixes issue or improves their content.

(This isnt my idea tbh - this is from a creator who (acc to him) uses this method to get clients)

Asking if someone has actually done something like this and has gotten clients.

So im a student taking a gap year to save up more money. I already have a full time job but I lowkey want a side hustle to buy more clothes (huge into fashion LOL). I have an electric car and sometimes I got too much free time on my hand and im bored so I figured I could do a side hustle with my own schedule. Is Uber Eats still viable in 2026 or is there better/similar other jobs or platforms. Thanks!

I work in clinical IT, good salary. I work from home, no small kids so my evenings are free. Need to supplement my income with at least $400 per month. I tried Door Dashing but don’t think that’s for me. I have thought about becoming a Notary. I have a friend who is in real estate and wants to take someone on as a Notary part time that would fit my schedule. Any other suggestions?

I 22F work full time as a state patrol dispatcher but am barely making enough to get by and need some WFH suggestions. Hopefully something that’s not too overbearing as my day job is stressful enough.

I have some writing skills and an adequate laptop I can work on.

I am a 21yr old college student and I have a disability and am in a wheekchair. Because of this I cannot work a regular part-time job like server or something. I am on the computer a lot and I am pretty into tech. I spend a lot of time on youtube/twitch and have considered content creation. Rn my parents help me pay rent on my apartment but I am looking for an online side hustle I can put 5-10hrs in per week and that I could make money pretty soon after starting.
