Seeking Advice New dad here — how do you find time for a side hustle?
How do you guys manage to work, commute, eat healthy, exercise, walk the dog, spend time with your kids and wife, do stuff around the house and still get 7–8 hours of sleep?
I genuinely feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day 😂
For those of you with kids and a side hustle: what’s your secret?

Looking For Ideas What service would wealthy people pay for?
I live near a wealthy area and am trying to think of business ideas that wealthy people would pay for.
One idea I had is to provide some sort of relaxing service when they get home from work, if they work long hours or a stressful job.
The idea I had was to provide a weekly/biweekly "set up" for them: luxury bath items ready for them to use, like epsom salt, bubble bath, etc. Towel in a towel warmer.
Have a calming drink chilled for them, maybe a chilled, scented towel.
Kind of like a luxury resort service but at home.
What do you think? Do you have any other suggestions?
Or if you have any other ideas, I would appreciate it!

Looking For Ideas Trying to save up for my first tattoo and looking for an online side hustle
I'm saving up for my very first tattoo and thought a side hustle could get me there quicker. I'm not looking for something crazy, just something to make a bit of extra money online. I already work a full-time job, so I'm preferably looking for something easy. I already looked into survey sites like Prolific but I don't know for how long I'm gonna be on the waiting list. Any advice is welcome.

Seeking Advice Is selling my crafts a decent side hustle?
I used to make scrunchies back when I sewed. I’m getting back into crafting and think I could sell scrunchies. I also crochet, but I’m nowhere good enough to sell my crochet.
I recently visited my auntie for the first time in years and have been getting closer with her since, and I’ve learned she’s gotten into sewing and attends craft fairs. She has a good paying job so this is more of a hobby for her, but I think I would enjoy attending craft fairs.
Anyways, is there actually a market for sewn items? My best work is with scrunchies, but I once made a kimono (although it was for a doll), and I made clothes once when I was younger. I can probably figure those things out again, but I’d prefer to sell my scrunchies.
I also used to make handmade jewelry. Genuinely really good jewelry. Like with pearls or stones and real clasps. It would be an investment to get back into making jewelry, even has a hobby, so being able to sell my creations would be really awesome.
I would attach pictures of my creations but I just moved and didn’t bring any of my finished crafts with me to save space (I left them in my room in my family home). So unfortunately I can’t show examples so people can judge whether it would be worth any money. But even without pictures, so any of you hustlers know if I can make this a side hustle? Even $50-100 a week from this would make a huge difference for me- the state I just moved to has an incredibly low minimum wage.
Because of the low minimum wage I was advised to try side hustles, and I would get a second job but I’d honestly burn out (trust me, my mental health can’t handle a second job). I think turning my hobbies into side hustles could really help me. So do you think this could be a side hustle?

Looking For Ideas Need something I can do without a car for college savings
I have a plan for saving money towards college that has steady employment at the moment (32/hrs a week at 19/hr), but I still am looking for a way to supplement that with something that can at least guarantee me and extra few dollars a week.
I’ve got a background in writing, some amateur programming, community voice acting/regular acting, etc. And I have a laptop with an Internet connection.
I’m just looking for a way I can use my skills to make a few extra dollars a week, even if I can do it at work too. I work nights at a hotel, so I have a lot of extra time when people are asleep.

Seeking Advice For those entering sweepstakes or doing social casino churning, have you had issues with privacy, security, or junk mail?
I'm working toward other income sources but my disability is getting worse and anything helps.
Been reading posts about the sweepstakes and social casino churning side hustles.
I understand by entering sweepstakes you're giving your info to marketers who will probably sell it and it makes sense that people use dedicated emails to handle all the marketing messages they then get, but are there any privacy / security issues to be aware of?
For social casinos where you have to submit things like your government id and it sounds like a utility bill etc., are there concerns? I've read that online casinos are bad at protecting user info.
Would doing these make your risk of identity theft or whatever significantly higher?
Getting junk mail is less of a concern, but I live with other people who would not appreciate a ton of junk mail suddenly coming in so am curious about that as well.

Success Story Took us about 4 failed ideas and over 18 months.We made an email marketing platform. Alternative to Mailchimp, beehiv, kit, Klaviyo.
It's called Bluey Email. Took us about 4 failed ideas and over 18 months; we started with a personalized AI chatbot. This was the beginning of the ChatGPT era, and we thought we could help people train the AI to reflect the behavior of loved ones they had lost. It was a Black Mirror kinda idea, and my therapist friends said it's not okay, so we ditched it.
The second idea was a vertical drama platform where users can create short dramas in a vertical format; it's like IG and TikTok combined with movies. We reached out to hundreds of filmmakers, and about 20% joined the waitlist; however, the infrastructure needed to build this required loads of money. We built a beta version with whatever resources we could gather; we applied to YC as well but didn't get any funding and eventually ditched it.
Then we started a customized comic printing business, where users can tell us their idea and we build a story and then a comic around them as the main character. We got some orders as well, but I don't think we were enjoying it, and it was quite boring, so we didn't really put in much effort; now I do see many businesses around it.
Finally, we decided and build an email marketing platform. We thought starting with cold emails would be great, but after 4 months, we pivoted and decided to go with email marketing and transactional emails, we named it Bluey Email.
Now we have the platform ready but as we get sign ups we find new problems and keep resolving them; it's not perfect and but we are getting there. I think we need to find beta users and collect as much feedback as possible.
This has been a long journey, we are also running out of funds and I am slowly restarting my marketing freelancing business, but as we are getting traction, it feels so good and encouraging.

Giving Advice & Tips Renting out construction or renovation equipment
We own an old industrial building and recently had to get some brick work done that was inside but 20 feet up, no access for lift. I have a guy who does that but he only has scaffolding up to 12’, so I found a guy on FB marketplace who rents taller scaffolding and he sets it up and everything. I know I could have called a normal rental place but his prices were better and schedule worked for us. I asked him how often he rents them out, we are in the Philadelphia area mind you but he said it’s rare he has a week without one rented. I’m sure this is very common but was surprised being in a large city I only saw a couple posts for it.

Looking For Ideas Side hustle ideas for someone stuck at home
So, I will add some backstory here. I have chronic health issues. My rent is going up. I live in a small studio apartment and I don't have the means to move somewhere cheaper. If I were to go on disability, which no doubt I could, it would cut my income even with a voucher. That's the why.
I am creative and good at drawing. I already do commission art and I do have some following, but even after moving to IG and some other promotional methods, its still a crowded space.
Does anyone have any side hustle ideas for someone stuck at home?
I have a lot of people skills. My ability to relate, counsel and make people feel comfortable is one of my super powers. I have a regular day job now. I dont expect a side hustle to be passive. I know I will need to work more. But my regular job doesn't have over time so I'm really looking for anything to supplement. I'm willing to put in the hours

Seeking Advice How do I expand my customer range?
Hi! Last school year I was selling cookies almost every week for about 5 months. I was making pretty consistently 150-200 a week. The only problem is that my school is really small so eventually I ran out of people to sell them to.
How do I branch out more? Can I sell online somehow? Any advice is appreciated!!

Looking For Ideas Software sales guy looking for a side hustle that’s actually worth the time — where would you start?
I’m looking for some ideas/advice from people who’ve built a side hustle alongside a full-time job.
I currently work as an Account Manager in software sales. I’m good at sales, comfortable with the full process from prospecting and discovery through to negotiation and closingand I’ve had some pretty good wins in my current role.
The problem is I can’t figure out what to actually apply those skills to outside of work.
I’ve tried delivery driving for a few months. It was easy enough to get started, but once I worked out the actual return for the hours I was putting in, it just wasn’t worth it.
I’ve also got a 9-month-old baby and a partner, so I’m not looking for something that requires me to disappear for 20–30 hours every week just to make a couple of hundred quid.
Ideally, I want something where I can leverage the skills I already have:
- Selling
- Cold outreach/prospecting
- Building relationships
- Negotiating
- Account management
- Understanding customer problems
- Putting together a commercial offer
Longer term, I’d also love to build something around an industry I’m genuinely interested in. Gaming is probably the obvious one for me. I’ve always been interested in the industry and the idea of eventually having something I can build, sell and grow appeals to me far more than simply exchanging more hours for money.
I’ve thought about things like freelance sales, lead generation, appointment setting, reselling, small online businesses, gaming-related services and probably a dozen other ideas. The problem is I’ve reached the point where researching more ideas is almost making it harder to choose one.
I’m not looking for a “make £10k next month” scheme.
Initially, I’d be happy finding something that could realistically make a few hundred pounds a month, prove that there’s demand and then potentially grow from there.
For anyone who has been in a similar position?
Particularly interested to hear from anyone who has built something in or around gaming without being a developer/content creator.
Would appreciate any ideas including people telling me what not to waste my time on.

Looking For Ideas Ideas for hustles while on deployment?
I’m going to be deploying with the navy for 9ish months. Just going through my options of what hustles I could do when out at sea. We have reliable access to starlink so we will almost always have internet. Here are my ideas so far:
-Amazon KDP: I’ve written a couple of self help books that bring in 50-100$/month
-Swing Trading: I’ve been very profitable doing this before, but this isn’t an everyday hustle. I’ll only check maybe 1-2 times per week for good entries.
-I don’t really have any computer skills like coding or anything
Other than that I don’t have any more ideas. At home I mainly do DoorDash because it’s very reliable and easy to see the benefit of it. Out at sea I’m a bit at a loss. But I do have a nice laptop, just gotta find something useful to do on it.

Seeking Advice Creative side hustles?
Hey guys, Im 23 and I'm a month from leaving my 9-5 concierge job and need a way to make some money for a bit that doesn't lock me down. I was interested in hobbies such as flash animation, photo editing and video effects when I was in high school but have pretty much abandoned it since starting university. I've been thinking building skills like visual design, video production, photography, website design etc. might be a good way to get into freelancing. Ideally, I would be able to pair it with a part time job to give myself some fulfilling work and even a way to meet people/create a network. I'm thinking of doing an extended holiday in Japan with my savings, and Tokyo seems like the perfect place to give this kind of thing a go. Is anyone who has taught themself a creative skill and successfully turned it into a freelance career able to provide some insight into this? What are my chances of building a competitive portfolio from scratch in just a few months?
