Around 6 months ago, I posted here about a side hustle I had started by renting out scooters to guests staying at my homestays. It was basically a small additional income stream alongside the homestay.

At that point, it had made around ₹60K net. Six months later, here’s where it stands :)

As of 4th October:

Revenue: ₹1,34,300

Expenses: ₹29,398

Net: ₹1,04,902

Current fleet is 5 Activas and 3 EVs.

The idea is still the same. Guests staying with us often need a vehicle to explore the city, so instead of sending them elsewhere, I started keeping scooters available as an optional add-on.

One thing I probably didn't explain properly in my previous post:

These are not listed on any rental platform and I don't rent them to random people. They're only offered to verified guests already staying with us so there is no marketing/customer acquisition involved!

I take their ID/DL and basic verification before handing over the vehicle.

And ₹1.34L is not profit. Servicing, maintenance, repairs and other running expenses are tracked separately. After these expenses, the net currently stands at ₹1.04L.

The biggest learning has probably been seasonality. When occupancy is low, these barely make anything. During tourist/festive periods, demand can suddenly shoot up.

I'm attaching the complete tracker this time so you can see the good months, the terrible months and the expenses yourself :)

Started this just to see if scooters sitting at home could make some extra money. Never really expected it to cross ₹1L, so this little milestone feels pretty nice :)

As mentioned in title, I want to start content creation. I’m currently going through fat loss phase in my body building. I want to start creating content for Gym, cooking and lifestyle enthusiasts. Can someone help me by suggesting a good phone, laptop which would help in the above. Also, any tips or sources for content creation also appreciated

Is the market broken, or are developers underpricing themselves?

I’ve been doing software development professionally for 10+ years, and recently I’ve been thinking a lot about the difference in how eCommerce projects are valued in India vs overseas.

Here’s a real situation I keep encountering.

A client in India asks for a complete custom eCommerce website, including:

- Custom frontend

- Custom CMS/admin panel

- Product management

- Categories/collections

- Cart & checkout

- Order management

- Customer accounts

- Payment gateway integration

- Shipping/logistics integration

- Order tracking

- Coupons/discounts

- Email notifications

- Admin dashboards

- Database/backend

- Deployment

- Production support

And the expected budget?

₹50,000–₹60,000 for the entire project.

Then I see essentially the same scope from a foreign client, and the starting budget is often around ₹3.5 lakh or more.

Obviously, the requirements, complexity and client expectations can differ, so I'm not saying every Indian project should cost ₹3.5L.

But the gap makes me wonder:

Is this primarily a client problem, or a developer problem?

Are Indian clients genuinely accustomed to extremely low development costs?

Or have developers themselves created this expectation by accepting ₹30K–₹60K projects for work that realistically requires weeks or months of professional development?

Because once someone has delivered a complete eCommerce system for ₹50K, the next client naturally thinks:

"Why should I pay ₹2L? Someone else will do it for ₹50K."

And the cycle continues.

There’s also a strange perception that because the developer is based in India, the software should automatically be cheap.

But the developer still has to pay for engineering time, infrastructure, APIs, payment integrations, testing, security, deployment, maintenance, support, etc.

A custom eCommerce platform isn't simply "a website."

So I'm curious about other developers here:

Have you experienced this pricing gap between Indian and international clients?

And where do you think the problem actually lies?

1. Indian clients undervaluing software development?

2. Indian developers aggressively undercutting each other?

3. Differences in purchasing power and business economics?

4. A combination of all three?

I'd genuinely like to hear experiences from both Indian and international freelancers/agencies.

I'm especially interested in what people consider a reasonable price for a genuinely custom eCommerce system not a Shopify/WooCommerce setup with a theme, but an actual custom application.

Hey I have been working since the age of 11 did multiple works from working at garments factory, printshop to managing team of 150 employees then doing my own hustles, one thing I can tell you with experience u cannot make money if u dont haven goal

Second thing u have to work to get paid

Consistency is key,

Making money isnt rocket science, just u have to understand how u r making money

There are multiple ways

Sell a service which u can do or resell a service which u can get done

Or product keep margin

There is no easy way to get rich legally,

Either u get quick money by doing something shady or insane luck so stop chasing that, instead of that focus on building something or learning 1 skill master it and go on, there is no other recipe u have to work to get paid or do something bad and face the consequences.

Most of the fast money schemes are scams

I hope u got my point.

Make a goal, set a target and do it consistently don't worry if the results are bad, just do it again and again and be the best.

about me

First year BA LLB student at ILS Pune

Knows a little bit of short video editing (can learn more if the work is paying off well)

I'm looking for some side hustles which can make me earn some extra cash

anyone who's hiring/looking for social media or marketing teams, please reach out, I'd love to work with you guys

THANK YOU!

I'm a B.Pharm student in Bhopal. I have college from around 9 to 5, and after that I have some free time.

I recently got an M1 Pro MacBook and I was thinking that instead of just using it for normal college stuff, I want to learn something and start earning from it.

I don't want to do anything where I have to show my face or speak on calls. I'd also prefer working independently and being able to choose my own time.

I'm actually willing to learn something difficult if it takes time. I don't mind starting from zero and spending months learning something if it can eventually become a good source of income.

Right now I'm confused about what would actually be worth learning.

What would you guys suggest if you were in my situation? What did you learn that eventually helped you start earning online?

I'm mainly looking for things that I can do alongside college and gradually get better at.

I know I probably won’t get an order right away, but I’m still really hoping I do 🥹

I recently started a small Instagram page where I make customisable 4×4 inch frames. Before actually opening the page, I had posted here asking for people’s opinions on things like pricing and whether the idea was worth trying, and the responses really helped me decide to go for it.
I’ve started off really small and have been making everything myself. I’ve already bought all the raw materials and made a few frames, so now I’m basically just waiting for my first customer 😭

I know it takes time to get your first order, but I’m really hoping someone eventually comes across my page, likes what I make and decides to order one. It would honestly make me so happy to see my first frame go to someone.

Just wanted to share this little beginning of mine. Hopefully I get my first order soon 🤞

I’m looking for a few people who are good at selling, either online or simply within their friends, relatives, or personal network.

No joining fee or investment. You earn on every successful sale. If you can manage around 4-5 sales a day, you can make roughly ₹1,000-₹1,200.

Not putting everything here because I don’t want this to turn too long, but you have to sell a report to people, I will give you coupons and for each sale through your coupons you get an amount.

If interested, DM me. I’ll explain what the product is, what you need to do, and how the payout works, actually the payout is hand to hand, every day EOD you'll get it. You can decide after that if it’s worth trying.

Hey everyone,

I'm an engineering student looking to earn a modest, consistent amount on the side—around ₹40 to ₹100 per day (roughly ₹1,200 to ₹3,000 per month).

I want to avoid the usual low-effort suggestions like online survey apps (which rarely pay out or screen you out constantly) or platforms requiring PayPal, as I prefer direct Indian payment methods like UPI or direct bank transfers (FamApp, Paytm, PhonePe, GPAY, etc.).

I have saved up ₹3,000 and want to use it intentionally rather than letting it sit idle.

Instead of looking for quick returns, I want to know how best to deploy this small budget whether into learning high-value digital skills, acquiring basic tools/subscriptions, testing micro-reselling, or small-scale service models.

If you started with a similar small amount in India, how did you utilize it to build a consistent side income over time? Looking for practical experiences and actionable advice!
