Realistic side hustles I’ve done!

1. Rover

Rover is an easy to use dog/cat/animal walking app that I’ve got a good amount of money from. The app ranges from dog walking, to dog sitting in their home or yours, to just checking in on animals throughout your day.

You can even get yourself consistent clients! I worked with the same client several times and loved it!

Overall rating: 8/10 sometimes a little slow with clients

💵💵💵

2. Selling clothing

Selling clothing on apps (Poshmark, Depop, offer up, Facebook marketplace, Instagram) is honestly the best way to refurbish your clothes and I’ve mad hundreds off of it!

If you struggle with getting rid of clothing because you see it as lost money like me, selling them is a great way to go about it

Overall rating: 10/10 people love buying clothes

💵💵💵

3. Baby sitting

If you have good patience and don’t have a problem with children, baby sitting is also an amazing side hustle. (through friends, family, care.com) I’ve been a nanny for almost 3 years now and I’ve made a great amount of money!

You can also develop amazing relationships with the children you watch, being a trusting authoritative figure and friend in their life

Overall rating: 9.5/10 because sometimes you’ve gotta deal with screaming crying

💵💵💵

4. Making and selling food

If you’re someone who’s super good at baking or cooking finger foods, this is a great side hustle. I used to make and sell spam musubi in highschool and you’d be surprised at how many people love purchasing food from others

This is a side hustle I would recommend being very careful with because some schools/areas do not approve of this

Overall rating: 7/10 I DID get in trouble because the school wanted some of the money but I just started selling it quietly

💵💵💵

5. turn your hobby to a hustle

Gym/working out: become a trainer and influencer

Crochet/knitting/etc: make tutorials on social media and sell what you make

Gaming: post on YouTube and twitch

Cooking: sell your food and have family/friends do reviews online

Drawing: sell your art and post speed paints

Dancing: post tutorials and videos of you dancing

Any hobby can be a hustle!

Overall rating: 11/10 easiest side hustle known to man

💵💵💵

6. Tutor

If you excel in a subject, offering tutoring for money is super easy and super effective. Everyone always needs help with something

Overall rating: 8/10 I’ve tutored many children while parents do household activities
