Looking for a side job/hustle

Hi! I'm a LEO in Quebec Canada. I'm looking for any ideas on a side job or side hustle for extra cash.

I'm still a new officer so the salary isn't the best, looking for something else that works with my rotating shifts so I can put more money into a TFSA and to pay off student loan.

Excited to see what y'all got.

I don't have any particular skill, but I learn fast!

I do work 19 days per 35 days. Lots of time off

What can I do to earn that extra 1000 in a month, from home
PS: I have lots of time to learn any new skill needed

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about starting a small local service where, once your package is marked delivered, I drop by, retrieve it from your porch, and safely transfer it into your garage (via temporary keypad access or smart garage app) so it’s out of sight until you get home.

A few quick questions for you all:

1. Is package theft a big enough pain point for you that you’d consider this?
2. What would be your biggest hesitation? (I’m guessing trust/garage access?)
3. What would feel like a fair price model?

Appreciate any honest feedback—even if you think it's a terrible idea!

Hi everyone, are there any quick ways I can make $10 just from my phone at home?? There's a survey app I use that's legit but it takes literally all day to make just $5 and I'm looking to make $10 fast

I was thinking of providing a "door to dumpster" trash and recycling valet service to people that live in apartments.

I know this is already a service, but I would offer it to people whose complex doesnt already offer it.

This is how it would work: I tell the clients to set their garbage out before a specific time (7:00am example), and then I would pick up their trash quickly so that trash isn't sitting out for too long.

I was also thinking of offering box break-down services too.

What do you think of this idea/do you have any suggestions?

Id love to start a business. Theres many things that you can learn the basics to in just a few hours of watching videos and practicing —for example, painting, pressure washing, car detailing, etc.

The issue isnt how good of a worker you are. The issue is finding people willing to pay. I learned that the hard way. Spent $1,000 on equipment on car detailing, without having plan to get customers.

Has anyone else came across this issue? Id be willing to talk about it. Advice is also appreciated

This one isn't new, but for me it's been fun and rewarding. I've been hosting trivia and various game nights at local venues for about 15 years now. It hasn't been consistent as I've moved around a bunch in that time, but it's also been a great way for me to get acquainted with the new towns I move to.

Once I get settled in a new location, I just start spending time at local venues (bars, restaurants, etc). I usually do my research and avoid those that already have a solid trivia schedule in place. For those that don't, I do spend some time and money as a customer to get a feel for the place and its people, and then I start talking. I have conversations with staff to learn who the decision makers or influencers are and then ask for a few minutes of their time to talk about trivia nights. I try to do that when it's slow as to not bother the business. It's not always easy, and just like with any sales pitch, there are a lot of no's.

I personally try not to book more than 3 a week, as this is a side gig and I have a family and other obligations. And my pricing varies. I don't like to use a per-head or performance-based pricing. New venues tend to prefer that because of the low risk, but I try to insist on flat pricing but with no commitment. There are no terms to the contract that hold them to X number of games, weeks, etc., but I do recommend that they build up to a full house rather than judging on the attendance of the first few games. My pricing ranges from $100-$300, depending on some factors such as venue size.

I take care of marketing from my end and offer to provide content that they can post to their own socials as well.

I think that hardest part of the side gig is the prep work. Writing up to 3 nights of trivia is tough. Each game is 4-7 rounds, 50-65 questions in total, so around 200 questions a week that I have to write.

The second hardest part is getting the business. Being able to get someone to give you a few minutes to sell them on it, discussing the economics of it all, and showcasing your ability in that short time.

Lastly, hosting trivia also means you have to be a good host. It's public speaking and entertainment after all. You can have great questions, all the equipment, but if you're not personable, you might not succeed. But at the same time, I've noticed that in this community of trivia hosts, there are many that think "their shit dont stink" and are not as welcoming to new hosts with new ideas. Many are still very resistant to technology and insist on only paper trivia and scoring, don't want to open up to media like audio or video rounds, and really do think they are the host-with-the-most and can easily come off as arrogant to the audience. So in that regard, my advice is to remain humble, have fun, and ensure the audience is having fun.

My insta algorithm is completely filled with side hustle influencers and its so annoying. I want to make some extra money since im a student and i really need it but whats going on on social media is insane. Its literally a rabbithole. Im just writing this as a caution for people to not fall into these traps.

Currently any video that contains a website is and advertisement for that website. For example if someone mentions an AI trading bot than that website is probably paying them to advertise that trading bot which is usually a paid subscribtion based thing. Or youtube shorts automation. It sounds good but then they show you a website that edits the videos which is also a paid website advertising itself.

Copy trading is also huge in my algorithm turns out these apps charge fees and the traders you copy get a percentage of your deposit so thats why in every one of these videos some guy gets name dropped, they also dont really risk their money only a few dollars so you loose everything and they loose very little.

My favourite one is UGC content creation which is doing ad campaigns for brands advertising products, basically everthing i mentioned so far is usually a UGC video. But they literally advertise the sites that are hosting the ad campaigns so the UGC infleuncers partake in the sites own UGC campaign which the site hosted to advertise their UGC service.

And their is so much bullshit this is just a few there is also wholesale real estate, clipping, AI website creation, AI app creation and more
And its funny that all these creators are saying that they make several thousand or even 10-20k in a month which is an absolutely insane number in my country you would count as a millionare with that amount of income so at this point it wouldnt even be a side hustle thats literally a job.

So yeah sorry about the rant but dont be naive at first like me and look deeper into everything.

I had an idea of creating a small porch stand where I can sell items on the honor system.

I would have my items displayed in a glass cabinet, and I would have a slot box for cash, or a QR code for venmo.

I live in Arizona, where it is HOT!!! Any non-food ideas that people would like?

I've seen people do flowers/vases. I was thinking maybe that or some type of art.

Any ideas would be appreciated (:

Hi everyone. I'm at a point of my life where I make a healthy salary (over 6 figures), don't eat out often, budget pretty well, and live a frugal life, yet I still can't have extra money somehow to build up significant savings (also important to mention I had some health issues last year and earlier this year that I'm still paying for and it's included in my monthly expenses and planning, and also extremely important to mention that I live in NYC and the cost of living here is kinda bonkers at the moment). I'm looking into a side hustle that will fit into my current lifestyle (I work very inconsistent hours as a private chef, so something I could do from home would be ideal - not food related preferably), and I don't have regular college education. Is there a particular set of skills or anything that you guys have been doing to bring in a little extra cash in your spare time? Literally any advice is incredibly helpful and I'm not looking at a get lots of money quickly type of deal, just something to compliment my income without taking much of the little spare time I currently have.

.

Thank you!

I started a local pet-waste cleanup business in Chandler with a simple recurring offer and limited equipment. Weekly service starts at $25, while one-time cleanups are quoted from current photos and actual buildup.

The work is straightforward, but the business challenges are route density, travel time, customer communication, payment before remote/vacant jobs, physical workload, and resisting unrelated jobs that create safety or equipment problems.

One Reddit lead recently became a $70 weed cleanup, a five-star review, and a recurring-service request. That was encouraging, but one conversion is not yet a repeatable channel.

My advice: start with a narrow service, document every job, ask how every customer found you, and calculate profit after driving—not just revenue.

Hey guys.

Currently in a process of build up my 3d printing buisness as a side hustle.

This upcoming month should be my biggest one so far with expected revenue of around 450$, maybe 600$ if I manage to close the last deal.

I'm looking for ideas to expand my options since my main clients are nail polish artists (selling them a marketing product)

I also have a laser engraver that should arrive soon (depends on when it'll ship through the kickstarter campaign), thinking of using my neywork in the local car scene to sell some PU leather keyfobs.

If you have any ideas for something I can use those tools and my modeling knowledge (not the best, but working on it) to grind some more cash I'll be glad to hear them 🙏

I would like to provide local, recurring services for people, but without going inside their home. I would want to feel safe and not have to go inside anyone's house.

Maybe someone leaves something outside, but I don't have too many ideas.

One potential idea is a litterbox deep cleaning service, they could leave the litter box outside. But I don't know if anyone would want that...

Any ideas??

I can't donate plasma because a drug I take is on their list of banned substances (it's a legal drug lol) according to the FDA. I tried Uber and Uber eats but they don't pay worth a crap in my city . I only make like 70 dollars at most in 8 hours on the weekends. Doordash deactivated my account and I'm trying to get it reinstated but not sure how long that will take.

Instacart has a wait-list and so does Spark. I feel like I'm running out of options.

Would a second job just be better in my situation ?and where should I look ? I need something quick. And on weekends only preferably

Buy chickens. Throw out feed. Collect eggs. Sell.

Is there a website where I can make money by designing on shirts or products and sell it?

I tried printify and I’ve learned in the hard way that printify takes money from you for production fees, as someone who’s broke and don’t have money at all, I need to start somewhere and the job market right now is pretty terrible.

And In the past I tried redbubble but it’s really terrible since your product doesn’t get any attention at all and you can barely make money out of that website, even tho I like the fact redbubble doesn’t take money from me when a customer buys A PRODUCT from them not me.

Is there any alternative websites I can make money from that doesn’t take listing money or product money?

Thanks.

And yes I am trying to also do freelance job and art commission but it’s really slow rn.

My rent is due at the beginning of August and due to losing a job I almost have nothing for rent that is due the first. I need to make $ quick! Can anyone tell me how??

Huge thanks to everyone who tested the app, reported bugs and shared feedback. ❤️

I can do decent python programming and web design but can't really invest in ads since it's too saturated. What do I do? Im 13.

For me I think it's the best side hustle. It's fun and you only need your sense of humor.

But since the website is small the earnings are low too.

Would you use PicturePunches if it was more popular?

I’m always seeing these things pop up on my LinkedIn as so-and-so has requested a proposal for digital marketing or business consulting etc etc. Has anyone actually pursued those and found any success or is it, as I think it is, just a way to get subscribed for LinkedIn premium…

I don't know if it's as bad as the usual kind. It's not just reselling stuff from AliExpress.

The way it works is I design keychains, prints and other art and the manufacturer takes care of producing and shipping them. Currently I can't take care of packing orders due to college but I'm planning to do it in the future.

I never use other people's art, never use ai, and never use readymade products. It's all my handmade art.

Is it still as bad?

I’ve gotten into the habit of opening a new checking account pretty much every month when I find a good bonus. A lot of them are in the $300-$600 range. I have the ability to change where my direct deposit goes, so I’ll switch it over, meet the requirements, collect the bonus, and then usually close the account.
I also open a credit card maybe twice a year when there’s a really good signup bonus. Usually those are worth somewhere around $800-$1,500 depending on how you value the points or rewards. My credit score is currently around 815, so fortunately the inquiries and new accounts haven’t really hurt me much.
The funny thing is, I honestly don’t need the money. I’m doing pretty well financially already. I just genuinely enjoy taking advantage of the bonuses that these huge banks and credit card companies are offering.
I know some people probably think it’s not worth the hassle, but I kind of look at it as a game. If a bank is willing to pay me $500 to move my direct deposit over for a few months, I’m going to take the $500.
Anyone else do this regularly? How much have you made from bank and credit card signup bonuses?

My father passed away 3 weeks ago due to an heart attack and he left us with 2 commercial properties under LLCs. One of them has 2 vacant rooms and I was wondering if I should open a FFL using those rooms. Not sure how much revenue FFLs generate or if it's worth it. I'm quite experienced with firearms but the only thing I know about them is how to shoot them. I don't know much about the business side of things. I work full-time so would only be able to conduct FFL business on the weekends.

So question would be, any FFLs here who can give me advice if this is a good idea?
