In my 20's I was a sole parent and unemployed. A friend was working for a family, taking care of the children after school. She also had to make tea and do some light house work, including ironing. One day (With the employees permission) I went to work with her, I offered to do the ironing, as I knew she didn't like that task. The employee asked if I would be interested in doing the ironing permenately. I agreed and asked for$25 for a small basket and $50 for a large basket. Before long other people they knew offered me more ironing and I was making $300 a week doing a task I love.

Hey Christine, have you heard of Papa Pal? My husband and I are US missionaries and have lost a lot of support in the past year, so I had to come up with a side gig to help offset that. Papa Pal is amazing!! It is where you can pick jobs on an app to offer the elderly companionship and help them with different things, like take them to appointments, grocery shopping, do light cleaning at their house, play games with them, read to them, etc. I feel like it is another ministry and so it is not just a side gig for ne anymore, and is very fulfilling.

Some great ideas. Just one little thing I caution against. Please don’t make it out that pet sitting is just “playing with puppies.” Working with dogs can go horribly wrong if you don’t understand the different breeds, how to read dog body language, how to handle reactivity issues and other aspects of caring for our canine friends. There are so many stories out there of people who think it’s so simple and dogs end up lost, injured or in the worst cases dead. If anyone is interested in becoming a dog sitter, please educate yourself first, learn about dog training from reputable trainers, and seriously think about what sort of dogs you can handle. Maybe start with just your friends’ pets before you put yourself out there for strangers.

If you're a quilter like me, and you have a longarm, you can take in quilts to finish them for other people. They provide all the fabric and batting (pieced top/batting/backing) and you stitch it up with pretty designs on your longarm. Most longarmers charge .10 cents per square inch so with even a lap quilt that's 47" x 56", plus thread charge, can make you about $300 per quilt. And if you can do two a day, that's dang good money in the air conditioning. Most longarmers are booked solid for months ahead. Before I was a quilter, I had good side hustle doing alterations. Have a multi-needle embroidery machine? You'll always have work from school sports teams, scouts, clubs, bowling leagues, etc. for t-shirts, hats, and bags.

I haven't tried it yet but for fun I like to do Ancestry look up for friends and family. Maybe some day I can do it for a side hustle. I also here that there's a need for Banquet servers, set up and take down. Never tried it either. Wedding, Birthday, School dance DJ's is a good side hustle. We have had to hire people to set up and take down inflatables like bounce houses. Personal chef, Party planner or party rentals Lawn care or handy man .

Always looking for new authors/books to read so thanks for the recommendations. One of my favorite authors is Dick Francis. If you haven't read any of his books, start with The Edge or For Kicks or Hot Money. I watched HGTV decorating shows & picked up some painting techniques to use in my own house. Then I started helping friends, family & neighbors. Once I felt confident enough, I turned it into a painting business. Lots of people hate painting or aren't very good at it. I can work as much or as little as I want and I've even hired friends to help when I get bigger painting jobs. It's been a great way to earn some extra money.

I’ve been substitute teaching for a few years at my kids’’ charter school. I get $17/hr. Before that I worked at my kids elementary school, both in nutrition services and custodial. I made anywhere from $10-$13 an hour. It is AWESOME to have the same schedule and summers off. 😁 I’ve got a friend who makes KZbin content. She really enjoys the editing and has thought about trying that as a side hustle. She’s also got a great voice on audio and I think she’d do well with audio book recording.

Ton of stuff out there. Some need some training like court reporting. Once you do the classes you can freelance. Attorneys pay good money. You go to their office, do the deposition. Take it home and finish it and submit to the attorneys. Once you get established you can pick your clients and work as little or as much as you like. Transporting human organs may sound weird but it is a lucrative thing to do. You need specific insurance but it pays well. The list goes on.

So glad you encourage people to get life insurance if they have people depending on them financially! Another form of insurance that can be even more critical is disability insurance. In that situation, you lose income generating ability and have additional expenses and caregiving requirements on top of it. If your workplace offers it, max it out!
