Some side hustles are too popular for their own good: when too many people are all doing the same gig — like driving for a ride-sharing company — the excess competition makes it harder to make enough money.
Pick something that isn’t oversaturated and you open up the possibility of making $100 per day you’re on the job. Here are some possibilities that don’t have too much competition.
Trivia Event Hosting
Many bars host trivia nights and the ones that aren’t fully automated actually need human hosts. Typically, you’ll only have to dedicate one night a week per bar — pitch multiple establishments to fill up your schedule.
Children’s Sports Coaching
A lot of cities have sports leagues for children, and many of them need coaches. If you were a star player in high school, consider exploring this fun opportunity.
If you don’t want to coach, you can also see if you qualify to be a referee. This has a lower level of commitment, since you only need to come to games; and it can still be very enjoyable.
Website Testing
If you enjoy providing feedback, being a website tester is a great option. Sites like User Testing pay people to assess the user friendliness of different companies’ websites. All you need is a computer and a microphone to participate; also, the screening process is quick and simple.
Sign Spinning
Every one of those people who spin signs on street corners is likely being paid. The work is simple, although somewhat physical, and you can often listen to music while you twirl away.
Here is an example of a guy doing a great job spinning a sign.
Thrift Store Reselling
Shopaholics can put their drive to good use by reselling thrift store finds. All you have to do is find high-quality items, such as designer clothing, and resell them through sites like eBay or Amazon Marketplace. In fact, flipping can be quite lucrative. Here is a story about a couple that made over $70,258.31 selling on eBay. And Rob and Melissa Stephenson made over $100,000 flipping items they found on flea markets and selling them on eBay. You can find their story on Fleamarketflipper.com.
Sell Crafts
Sites like Etsy make it possible for crafters to sell their creations. Nearly anything handmade is a potential product. Plus, you can set your own prices and receive shipping discounts through the site, ensuring your items get to their new homes quickly. Other good ways to sell your crafts are a local markets, to friends and family and through your own ecommerce site.
Dog Walking
If you love dogs, being a dog walker might be an ideal side hustle. Generally, you take each pet out for between 30 minutes and an hour. If you walk dogs in groups, you can easily earn $100 in one or two outings.
Rover and Wag are the two most commonly used apps for people who want to walk dogs and get paid.
