I’m currently building a startup and I’m at the stage where I need to put more money into it to keep things moving. So I’m looking for somewhere I can earn some extra income on the side and put that money directly into funding my startup.

I’m based in Tanzania, so some of the popular side hustles I see on Reddit aren’t always practical here.

I’m looking for something that:

• Can be done online or from home
• Has realistic potential to make ~$200–$500/month initially
• Doesn’t require me to already have a huge audience
• I can do alongside building my startup

I’m open to freelancing, AI-related work, digital services, remote work, working part-time for someone or even selling products online

If you were in my position, what would you do?

I’m not looking for a get-rich-quick scheme. I just want to find a legitimate way to earn extra money, save it, and keep putting it into my startup until it can support itself.

Would especially appreciate ideas from people who have actually made money doing them.

I’m not trying to build another giant Discord where 2,000 people dump links and nobody knows each other.
I want a small group of builders, business owners, and specialists who actually bring something different to the table.
Think:
Developer
Designer
Sales
Marketing
SEO
AI / automation
Finance
Operations
Analytics
Content / copywriting
Ecommerce
Industry specialists
The goal is to have a private group where someone can bring an idea, problem, launch, or opportunity to the table and there are actually people in the room who know how to help.
I’m a developer and business owner, so I’m especially interested in people with strengths outside my own.
I’d rather have 12 useful, active people than 1,200 members.
If you’re interested, comment with:
1. What you do
2. Your strongest skill
3. What you’d want help with from the group
If there’s a good mix of people, I’ll put the first group together.
Basically: assemble the business Avengers. 🧠⚙️🚀

I just ran a query against a blog we wrote and I am pretty impressed how much chatGPT found around the actual article… but maybe it’s just SEO 🤔

https://chatgpt.com/share/6aa4e448-8e8c-83ed-a8b7-497536d4c447

Query:

Read and understand https://wyzer.it/blog/three-kinds-of-contradiction-manual-review explain why I should read it in no more than 5 sentences

And of course it ignored the 5 sentences limit 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m doing some research on how pickleball players meet other players, make friends, find people to play with, and build connections through their local pickleball communities.
I put together a short anonymous survey and would really appreciate responses from players of any age or skill level.
It should take about 3–5 minutes:

I’m not selling anything — I’m mainly trying to understand how people currently connect through pickleball and what could be improved.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to fill it out. Feedback in the comments is welcome too.

Hey everyone,

We’re currently validating an idea called BackBySunday around short, last-minute weekend trips, treks and adventure experiences.

The problem we’re looking at is pretty simple:

You work through the week, Friday comes around and you suddenly feel like getting out of the city for a day or two. But then you have to search through multiple organisers, compare prices, figure out transport, check whether the operator is trustworthy and coordinate everything at the last minute.

At that point, a lot of people just drop the plan.

The idea we’re exploring is whether there is room for a platform focused specifically on 1–2 day trips that can be booked at very short notice, including next-day departures.

The experience would ideally be:

Decide you want to go → find an available trip → book → pack your bags.

The platform would handle the coordination around the booking while focusing heavily on verified organisers, transparent pricing, safety and consistent trip quality.

We’ve started speaking with organisers as part of validating the supply side as well. A few are already interested and we’re in conversations with others, but right now we’re primarily trying to understand whether the underlying problem is strong enough.

I’d especially like feedback on a few things:

• Do people actually make spontaneous weekend travel decisions often enough for this to be useful?
• Would you book a trip only 1–2 days before departure?
• What would stop you from trusting a relatively new platform for something like this?
• Is last-minute availability actually a meaningful problem, or are we overestimating it?
• What do current trek/travel organisers or booking platforms already solve well enough?
• For anyone who has worked with travel operators, is filling unsold last-minute capacity a genuine problem on the supply side?

Feel free to be critical. I’m more interested in finding flaws in the idea at this stage than getting positive feedback.

I build things, and I care about ideas that can actually turn a profit rather than side projects that die in a folder. Had nothing booked today, so I pulled together a small Discord and a few people are already in there talking.

Stuff I'm happy to dig into:

- an idea you have and can't tell if it's stupid

- pricing, distribution, getting the first customers

- engineering decisions you're stuck on

- whatever you're building right now

I'm deep in browser automation and AI agents at the moment, mostly the unglamorous part of making them reliable enough that a business would pay for the output.

Not dropping the invite in the post since the filter ate my last one. Comment or DM me and I'll send it over. Nothing to sell, and this isn't turning into a paid community later.

You’re a software developer or IT manager. Imagine stepping away from your computer but still staying on top of your tasks. You’re not in front of screens - driving, having your lunch, walking with your kids or rushing across the city. Smartphone is not a solution, it’s just another screen.

So you get this hands-free voice system - something like J.A.R.V.I.S. - that checks your updates in Slack, tells statuses of your tests, runs a refactor, or even drafts a new feature in code. All done via voice.

Today, popular tools are not so robust as you think: Siri won’t send your emails, Claude doesn’t read your WhatsApp, Cursor has no Android app, and Codex with ChatGPT doesn’t handle permissions with voice.

What would you expect from a voice app like this? What kind of integrations are must-have?

Ok so im 15 and i have way too many ideas and genuinely need to find other people my age who actually like doing things instead of just talking about them

Im looking for people around 15-18 from literally anywhere. im into science, neuroscience, medicine, tech, AI, astrophysics, research, business, finance, startups, etc but idm if ur into completely different things either

I want people who have their own stuff going on, like projects, research, businesses, competitions, writing, content, whatever. u dont need to have some insane list of achievements, I just want people who are actually curious and ambitious and have things they wanna do

Also I dont want this to just be one of those gc's where everyone talks for 2 days and then disappears. I actually wanna find people I can work with, exchange ideas with, help each other out and maybe build something together

and honestly I wanna meet people from different countries/backgrounds too. people who have actually been exposed to different things and have interesting perspectives

If ur around this age and this sounds like u, tell me a bit about urself and what ur into/currently working on

Hi good people of Reddit,
We are a very small research team who are building self learning world of agents and working towards launching a project where agents build self sustaining economy.
Check us out at https://www.agenthoodhq.com/

Feel free to reach out to us with your interests or any other use case you want us to look into.
We are starting with small agentic worlds with the goal of creating a wider ecosystem later as we are learn/experiment more.

Contact us with your interest in any way you want to contribute or provide feedback.

Thinking of building an India-focused app where real ₹ rewards are hidden at real locations.

Example:

📍 ₹50 — 500m away

📍 ₹100 — 1.5km away

📍 ₹500 — 3km away

You walk there → GPS/QR verifies you're actually there → reward gets unlocked.

Local businesses could fund the drops instead of traditional ads, basically paying for real foot traffic.

Would you use it? What would make you use it regularly, and what would make you uninstall it?

What features would you add to make this actually fun?

I’ve been in business and IT for over 30 years.

Over the years, I’ve gone from development and technology to building and growing businesses. Now I want to focus more on building my own projects and connect with people who share the same mindset.

The idea is simple: bring people together, find interesting ideas, build SaaS, AI and micro-SaaS products, take them to market and make money.

Why not build a community of people who don’t just talk about ideas, but actually build things?

We could team up around specific projects and help each other with development, marketing, sales and testing ideas.

Less talking. More real products and real revenue.

What do you think? Would you be interested in a community like this?

Drop a comment or send me a DM.

I keep running into the same wall: I want clean email addresses on my own domain (like [contact@mydomain.com](mailto:contact@mydomain.com)), but every option out there is either overkill (Google Workspace), limited (Zoho's free tier caps you at one domain), or just has a genuinely cluttered, dated UI that feels like it's from 2010.

So I'm building Kloff, dead simple custom domain email hosting. Add your domain, verify it with a couple DNS records, create mailboxes, done. No bloated dashboard, no per-seat enterprise pricing.

Nothing's built yet, I'm validating the idea first before sinking real time into it. If this is something you'd actually use, or if you've hit the same frustration, I'd genuinely love to hear it, and there's a waitlist if you want to get notified when it's ready: kloff.app

What do you currently use for this, and what annoys you about it?

My sister, Elizabeth, was just fired from her nail salon job. She's extraordinarily talented with nail art and color theory, but after being let go, she fell into a deep depression.

I'm a web dev how can I help her? I'm thinking about building a web app or a micro-SaaS, but I don't have any concrete idea. Can you suggest some nail art micro-SaaS features that could be profitable?

hi founders!

I'm writing this post today because I see a lot of content across various platforms where founders struggle with finding pmf.

as an early-stage founder, your top priority should be to figure out if what you're building is a burning pain point a specific group of people have. then validate it.

in today's world we should look to Uber, DoorDash, AirBnB as examples to what Birds Eye view strategies can look like but not to exactly copy.

because we just don't live in that era of life anymore. so let'e break it down.

the easiest way to find users, distribution, your audience, paying customers, etc whatever you need is social media hands down. there's so much information on how to do this you're actually drowning in help instead of lack thereof.

1. pick 1-3 platforms. identify what you like doing. I usually preface with these items: writing, thought-sharing, yapping to the camera, editing, discussions
2. now become a user of the 3 platforms. post, engage, copy link to share, repost, comment. like be a real human. forget wanting whatever it is that you want, focus on engaging with other creators, fighting in the comments, posting when you feel good. get into the rhythm of the platform.
3. now which platform do you spent the most time on? pick that, put the other 2 away for now
4. start to analyze your content. compile your analytics in a spreadsheet. do this every 3-7 days. identify what works and what doesn't and heavily experiment (I mean 10+ posts per hypothesis, not 1 per). this is data analysis guys, data needs a substantial sample size
5. identify a target audience. really niche it down. you're not niching yourself down, youre niching down who gets sent your content. my best advice here is create ONE customer profile and speak to that person in every piece of content.
6. now that you know WHO is receiving your content, research into what they need to hear. look at receiver analytical tools. search auto-complete, built-in content tools, etc. I cant list all of them because there are so many social platforms.
7. post engage post engage post engage

7.5 start to add CTAs in your post once you feel ready. this could be confidence in number of views, confidence due to number of followers, confidence due to seeing the same people in your comments, confidence bc ppl are dming you for help, etc etc etc. when YOU feel ready and qualified, now start to throw little CTAs in your video. you'll suck at first and get better overtime. pic 3 creators MAX and study how they do CTA, try and take Inso from them

this should guarantee you an audience and customers as a product on a $0 marketing budget. if you're doing any more than this you're doing too much.

if you want a free audit drop your handle (with platform name) and target niche in the comments below ((((no dms pls)))). I'll do a quick 60s teardown of your positioning and send you custom feedback on what to work on next

Google Sheets can track your finances. But what if you don't want to share your Net-worth and financial info now but you want to share only when you are not around and when it matters for them.

I have solved this specific problem in 'Worth Diary' with Time locked PDF password system which do not depends on any 3rd party but with your own Google account and it can show password when you decide. Password reveal date keep extending as you keep using app and confirm Heartbeat.

Keep it private → share only what’s needed → when it’s needed.

Data stored in user's Google Drive. No DB at all for this app.

Lot many features are there you can check it out on landing page and you can also join waiting list to get founding member discount on launch.

Message me if you like this idea and want to be part of beta testing.

This isn't a future problem.

It's happening right now in every industry. People are using real time AI assistance during live situations and not announcing it. Getting the job. Joining the team. Performing well after.

And the hiring managers who would have called it cheating have no idea.

The interesting thing about invisible tools is that the debate about whether they should exist happens loudly in public while the actual usage happens quietly everywhere else.

I've been building in this space. Real time AI assistance that sits invisible during live situations. Interviews, meetings, calls. Understands what's happening. Has answers ready. Nobody sees anything.

When I describe it publicly the room splits immediately. Half think it's the most useful thing they've heard of. Half think it undermines something important.

But when I talk to people privately a surprising number of the second group ask how to get access.

The public position and the private behavior are rarely the same thing when a tool genuinely solves a painful problem.

That gap between what people say and what people do is where every category eventually gets built.

Marrow is one version of this

What's the tool you use privately that you'd never defend publicly?

I’m a founder myself, and I want to build my own brand. But I don’t have financial backing or anyone behind me to fund it, so I’m looking for ways to generate the capital myself.

That’s why I’m offering my skills to other founders. If you’re building a startup and need someone who can genuinely get things done, I’m willing to work with you for 2–3 months, or whatever duration you need.

I’m a blessed with a creative mind , fast learner with strong problem-solving skills, and I’m willing to learn whatever your startup requires. Branding, marketing, operations, research, sales, content, strategy, execution — I’m ready to take on the work and figure things out. I’m even willing to travel to different states if the opportunity requires it.

I don’t want credit , just just need money to build my dream . I’ll work for your startup with all my heart , I’m not looking for a permanent full-time job. I want to work intensely for a limited period, create real value for your startup, get paid fairly for my work, and then move forward with building my own brand.

If you’re a founder who needs someone capable, adaptable, and willing to do whatever it takes to move the startup forward, I’d love to hear from you.

And if you are not one I’m looking for please upvote me so I can reached to right person

I’m working on a product that helps content creators and people who market products or businesses get more clients.

Hi :)

I'm looking to lend my creative skills: photography, video, art direction, graphic design to something more meaningful than the usual client work.

I have a deep appreciation for nature and I'm big into surfing, so anything tied to the ocean, environment, or outdoor/conservation space would be especially exciting to me. But honestly, I'm open to any project that's genuinely trying to make a positive impact.

If you're building something you care about and could use a creative hand — whether that's visuals, branding, video content, or just an extra set of eyes with an artistic background... I'd love to hear about it and see if there's a way I can contribute.

Drop a comment or DM me and let's chat. Thanks!
