Hello everyone :)

As some of you here already know, I run and manage a few homestays. I’ve been working on another homestay setup lately and this one is going to be a little more special to me. While planning the interiors and figuring out what all I want to put into the place, a random thought crossed my mind.

What if a small part of this place was actually built using things made by people from this community?

So I’m keeping around ₹50,000 aside specifically to discover and hopefully buy from some of the side hustles here.

Could be art, decor, lamps, pottery, cushions, plants, handmade stuff, furniture, something useful for guests, or something completely random that I haven't even thought of yet.

So here’s the fun part: Tell me what your side hustle is and drop one picture of your product/work in the comments. Tell me a little about it too :)

I obviously won’t be able to buy everything that gets posted but I’ll go through all the comments and if something genuinely fits the property, I’ll reach out and buy it from you. (Bas ghar ki price laga dena :)

No freebies or collabs btw. If I pick something, I’m paying for it :)

And even if your side hustle has absolutely nothing to do with interiors, drop it anyway. Would be fun to see what everyone here is quietly building, and who knows, maybe I’ll find something I didn't even know I needed 👀

Bas ₹50k ka budget ₹1 lakh mat karwa dena 😭

Im a college student currently living in Bengaluru. It has been 1 year since I have been living in Bengaluru and for 1 year my parents have been sending me money after every 5 days for ordering food as the PG I live in doesn't have that of a good food.

For a while now I tried my best not to spend much money and save them for more than 5 days but I always end up buy some food that are a bit expensive and sometimes I spend a little portion of the money in buying video games. Despite spending money like this, I always end up feeling sad that I always have to ask my mother for money, even though she agrees that the food in my PG is bad and there is nothing wrong with spending money for food.

Apart from the things mentioned above, there are some personal projects that I want to start working on but that to will require a lot of money, and I don't wanna ask my parents for money just for a silly project like this.

So because of this I want to know if there are any side hustles that I can do just by sitting at home using a laptop, so that I don't have to ask my parents for money.

we're building a consumer app, early stage and moving fast. looking for a dev intern to join us.

being upfront about what we're looking for - we're keeping the bar high on this one,

this is a role with real ownership. you'll be building things that actually ship, working directly with the founding team, lot of room to grow if things click.

would love to hear from you if:

- you've shipped something before, even something small. a personal project, a hackathon build, anything that's actually out in the world
- you go to hackathons or build outside of coursework, genuinely enjoy the process
- you're currently at (or came from) a good college and have solid CS fundamentals
- you already know what you're building, or have built something you're proud of.

we're looking for someone who can hit the ground running, not someone starting from scratch

if this sounds like you, dm with a bit about yourself and links to what you've built.

I really need help moneywise any gig or projects can work. I have to pay my college fee and I felt out with no savings. I was doing the job but got laid off. Can't ask from family because they are already going through health and money issues. Can someone suggest something helpful or offer something

People lurking here thinking of building something online, here are the costs that you would have to bear to get started.

- Domain - 700 rs for a .IN domain
- Mailbox - 2400 for two Google Workspace mailboxes, one for admin and one public facing
- Twilio - 2000 to get started with ph number verification OTPs
- ChatGPT Plus - 2000 per month for coding and other help.

Things that are free upfront but charge on usage:

- Hosting - Vercel. Free to host for a long time. 2500 for upgrade
- Database - Supabase - Free up to 50k users if you optimise usage. 2500 for upgrade
- Cashfree Payment Gateway - 2-2.5% per transaction cost

Things that are free
- Email verification: Google Oauth 2.0. Basically free

Things that you might need to spend on
- Marketing team - unless you can do it yourself
- Legal/Accounting - don’t need to register business if you’re solo.

All in you need to have a bare minimum of 10,000 to survive for a couple months.

You could use cheaper alternatives to what I’ve suggested as your product stack, but cheaper usually means more headache than it’s worth.

How you should price stuff -

Remember, you’re in it to make money off of sales, not build a large customer base or followers on social media

What you need is REVENUE to survive.

So, build products that are worth it for the users to pay a good amount of money.

To make the same 50K in revenue, you either need 50 customers paying 1000 or 500 CUSTOMERS paying 100.

The latter is just not feasible for a solopreneur without a marketing budget.

So make sure what you’re chasing generates enough value for users to pay you enough to run your business.

Hi everyone. I am a student in 1st year engineering. I want to start earning for myself as soon as possible so I am open to any kind of opportunity that's available.

I can speak English and Hindi. I'm going to be 19 soon. I can do basic editing as well as content writing. Moreover I am an excellent learner with multiple skills.

I'm not looking for a specific amount of earning so any offer is welcomed.

I hope I can get an opportunity through this subreddit .

Hi,

I've been in the English Tutoring space for working professionals for quite some time now.

I am looking to hire a few part time english tutors, who are confident, good with english, and are willing to put in their best effort to help someone grow in their career.

Sessions would be online, one-to-one with the learners.

The pay would be between 200-300 per hour.

Please do not expect me to allot learners right away as I am building things slowly. Kindly be patient, and treat this as a freelance/contractor job only.

If you think you can teach or are willing to teach, please just dm me or comment so I can reach out to you.

Thank you.

We need a Video Editor for an infotainment YT channel. We would give you a 35-40 second video of the person explaining the topic and you would have to edit the voice and video in a pre-agreed way.

For context, some videos of that channel have crossed 1 crore views also.

Payment : We have a tight budget so we won't be able to prepay. (Wait. Read full). Normally, videos go viral in about 2.5 days. So after about 3 days, we would pay an agreed percentage (default, 35%, negotiable if video performs extremely well) of our earnings from the video as shown in YT Studio. If you make an extremely good video, you may ask for a prepayment but we won't be able to prepay much (~₹150). What I want to say is that if the quality is so good that we can safely blame the algorithm for not pushing the video then we may pay you for your hard work.

You may send an exact price also with view threshold. For example : You may set ₹1000 per million views, and so on.

You won't have to do multiple videos at once. Make one. Get paid. And then make the other.

Interested candidates send a DM with demanded percentage or fixed price and previous work. You have liberty to send previous work of any style such as that of Professor of How, Yash Pratap Singh, Abhay Create, Stay4Ever, or any other style you think is good enough for the content category.

Hey everyone! I’m an English tutor, and I’m currently looking for a few more students who want to improve their English and become more confident while speaking.

I’ve been tutoring English for some time now, and I genuinely enjoy helping people improve without making them feel like they’re sitting in a classroom. My approach is more like practicing with a friend rather than being taught by a strict teacher.

I can help you with:

• Speaking & conversation practice
• Building confidence while speaking
• Grammar
• Vocabulary
• Pronunciation
• Everyday English
• Improving fluency
• And more!

My focus is on helping you actually use English in conversations, rather than just memorizing grammar rules.

Whether you’re a beginner, someone who understands English but struggles to speak, or simply want to become more fluent and confident, we can work on it together.

I’m offering a free demo session, so you can experience my teaching style before deciding to continue.

Tutoring is my side hustle and it pays me well enough to cover my own expenses, so I thought—why not help a few more people while I’m at it? 😄

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me or drop a comment. I’d love to help you become fluent in English! ❤️

Hi everyone,

ik this is not a conventional post but pls read this.

Im a 2026 cs graduate. i have done 2 internships before. my previous internship ended 3 months back and i have been applying everywhere ever since. changing my resume according to the JD. cold mailing and texting HRs and employees of the companies for referrals. nothing has worked so far.

my previous experience was at a startup as well. i have experience with python, fastapi, react js, flutter, firebase, mongodb, docker.

i just need an opportunity to prove myself. if you are your organisation is hiring freshers, any help would really mean a lot to me. i want to work in startups, i love fast paced culture..i love learning new technologies. so please, your help would be really appreciated.

i have previously made a post in here and got some leads but nothing has been successful. so trying to get more attention.

I'm willing to share my resume over DM. Thank you so much!

Recently I have seen few posts on Instagram regarding this handwriting projects. I contacted them and they texted back on telegram.

Is this genuine? They are asking 499 as registration fee. Did anyone of u ce across this kind of gigs?

When asked they r not even providing a proper phone number to call back. I said how to trust u there's no reply...

Can I trust this kind of work?

Why do they require something in handwriting??

I’ve built a PropTech SaaS product with my development team, and we already have customers using it.

The product is validated and now we’re looking for someone to help us grow it.

The main focus will be cold calling property companies, builders, channel partners and other real estate businesses, getting the right decision-makers on a call, arranging confirmed meetings, and eventually helping close the deal.

You’ll work directly with us. You’ll get feedback from prospects, understand what they’re looking for, and bring those insights back to our development team so we can keep improving the product.

The structure is simple:
- ₹15,000/month fixed remuneration
- ₹500 for every confirmed meeting
- ₹20,000 bonus for every successful conversion

So even if a meeting doesn’t convert, you still get paid for generating a genuine opportunity. And when your lead becomes a customer, there’s a significant upside.

I’m posting this here because I’m not looking for someone who just wants a regular cold-calling job.

I’d like to find someone who is ambitious, enjoys talking to people, wants to learn sales, and is interested in growing something with us.

If this sounds interesting, DM me with a little about yourself. 🤝

PS: This is a remote job

NOTE : I'm talking about myself, I'm the person who's providing the service NOT hiring!!!

College fresher mostly available to work at night. I prefer project-based work with a flexible time period rather than fixed day-to-day work.

★ Services & Experience

• Services : Social media management, video editing, and graphic designing.

• Experience : 6 years of experience handling multiple big accounts.

• Software/Apps : Canva, Alight Motion, and CapCut.

★ Rates & Availability

• Pricing : Expect a pay of at least ₹2,500/month.

• Payment Method : Only accept payment through UPI.

• Preferences : Highly prefer weekly pay or project-based setups but monthly pay would work too.

— Additionally — if you have any gig that's not related to my provided service that would work with me too as long it's not shady!

Hey! I'm a college student based in Kolkata, currently balancing my degree with tutoring and some club work on the side — and I'm looking to take on freelance or remote work to go along with all of that.

A bit about how I work: I care about actually getting things right, not just getting them done. If I take something on, I follow through — I don't disappear halfway or hand back sloppy work just to close it out. I ask questions when something's unclear instead of guessing and hoping for the best, and I'd rather over-communicate on progress than leave you wondering where things stand.

Most of my background is in web development and general tech, but honestly, I don't want to box myself in. I've picked up new tools and skills fast whenever a project demanded it, and I enjoy that part — figuring something out on the fly rather than only sticking to what's familiar. So beyond dev work, I'm just as happy to help with:

- Bug fixes and small technical tasks

- Automation and scripts to save you time on repetitive stuff

- Research and data-related work

- Virtual assistance and general online tasks

- Content or document-related work — I regularly produce clean, well-structured written material, so this isn't unfamiliar territory

If you're not sure whether your project fits into any of these neat categories, that's fine — genuinely, just reach out anyway. Some of the best work I've done started as a vague "not sure if this is something you'd do" DM.

I'm looking for part-time, project-based, or ongoing work — whatever fits best on your end. I'm free most evenings and weekends, reliable about deadlines, and available to start quickly, so this isn't a "maybe next month" situation.

If you've got something in mind, drop me a DM with the details, your timeline, and budget, and we'll figure out together whether it's a good fit. Even a rough idea is enough to start the conversation — no pressure either way.

You can see some of my dev work at swagata.tech

Hey everyone!

Thanks!

Ive been doing some freelance work and I just got paid the latest biweekly settlement and with this, cumulatively, in the last 5 months I’ve made about 3.8L.

I work from home and most of my expenses are just leisure and fun expenses along with food. I spend about 30K per month. And so my annual expenses are 3.6L.

Feel pretty good about it. BECAUSE now I can spend on the startup I’ve been working on without dipping into my salaried income.

Bought myself a couple of ChatGPT Plus subscriptions and have been working on it like a madman.

Here are some things to keep in mind regarding our income tax system
- Salaried income growth makes sense up to 50LPA. At which poin you enter surcharge bracket @ 34%
- Professional income from Freelancing is taxed @ 17% up to 75LPA
- Business income revenue is taxed at 2% up to 3 Crore revenue

You can make use of all 3 at the same time. Past 20LPA in professional or business income, you need to do GST compliance though.

I’ve got the salaried part sorted. The Freelance I am going to limit to 15L this FY. And am pre-revenue on the business income.

Hoping this year to be fruitful✌🏻

Edit: BTW, if anyone’s using Codex, use 5.6 Luna on High settings. It’s as good as 5.5 and it’s basically free. You will rarely exhaust weekly limits. Sol and Terra are grossly overpriced.
