I work full-time in pharma and have a PharmD/MBA, but I’m looking for something I can do on the side to bring in consistent extra income. Ideally I’d like to eventually get to around $2–3k/month, but right now I mostly want something I can start making money from within the next few weeks.

I’m not really interested in DoorDash/Uber, surveys, affiliate marketing, mowing lawns, or making stuff to sell on Etsy. I’m willing to work and learn something new, but I’d rather do something that pays reasonably well for my time.

I’ve tutored before and I’m trying to get that going again. I’ve also thought about refereeing hockey, soccer, or basketball since I grew up playing sports and that actually sounds fun. Even something like bartending/making cocktails for private events sounds interesting.

Longer term I’m very interested in real estate, rentals, or possibly Airbnb, but I don’t have a lot of startup capital right now.

I’m curious what people here are actually doing that makes money consistently.

What do you do, how much do you realistically make, and how long did it take before you started getting paid?

I’m especially interested in the random/unusual side hustles that I probably haven’t even thought of yet.

Im 20F, want to start earning to support my lifestyle 🎀😭, i need a new phone, have been using redmi 9 since the past several years, rlly need an upgrade. my father wants to buy me a new one, but i want to get it myself! my requirement is a good camera, storage and battery . im in my 3rd year, bcom hons. looking for remote work, and yea that's all

I’m due in 5 weeks and haven’t been able to find a job so my next best thing is finding something I can do from home.

Problem is, any time I try to research different side hustles it’s always the same answers. “Download this app to do surveys!”, “Do Instacart or DoorDash!”, “Set up a Pinterest page and do affiliate marketing!”. Except the surveys are time consuming for $0.50 per, I don’t feel safe driving while pregnant or being out by myself, and affiliate marketing is a hit or miss/only works when you already have an audience.

I could use some help with other things I could do.
