My brother in law and his teenage sons started mowing lawns on the side to support their wrestling expenses and it has grown into a full time business.

[@UteLydia]

I got really hooked on your channel when I realized you are vegan! Made me feel like I can follow your Grocery vids

[@UndertheMedian]

That's awesome. We've been plant-based for about 10 years or so.

[@katiejon17]

I’m not vegan, and I love their recipes too! Actually, Hope’s food videos are my favorite. We eat many meatless meals each week and Hope (and Daniel too!) give me such great ideas!

[@sw8234]

I've been 90% vegan for many years. So fun to see Hope's yummy recipes.

[@kimdodd8055]

Wow, I never imagined 30 hours a week for a few KZbin videos, you should do a vlog showing the “behind the scenes” We appreciate you sharing all of your knowledge

[@Nicole-zv7ee]

Yes! That would be fun to watch.

[@MelissaCoup]

My side gig of caregiving turned f/t. It was more lucrative than my other job due to being paid to sleep. I make a thousand dollars a week working one 48 hr shift. My background is in Mental Health so my client doesn't need hands on care, she has behavior issues so they burned through 3 other caregivers but I can handle her. I don't enjoy this but at 56, I am able to save for retirement

[@Corinna_Schuett_GER]

Frontotemporal dementia FTD?

[@lesliekanengiser8482]

I forgot one. I make dinner for a friend and she pays me a small fee. (This depends on the health regulations where you live, of course). If you make food for 4 people a week, at 25 bucks a pop, it's 100 bucks. Is it the most? No. But, I stay home, so I am cooking dinner anyway for my own family.

[@brg2743]

Work in produce at a grocery. Cutting, putting things out on shelves, cleanup a few hours daily. Use reward points for extra food items there and get an employee discount. Not eady work, but helps.

[@juliemoore6957]

Great ideas!

[@becsackville6446]

Coles here has a rewards card that you can earn points get towards 10 dollars off your next shop but they also have surveys. I do one survey a day and this month I have got enough points for 30 dollars to spend in the store. I know I am not getting paid but I'm getting free food so to speak. It's what I do to cover my food bill

[@Midwestmomvolunteer365]

I have a close friends whose 20 something son housesits all the time. Mostly for family and close friends, a great way to make some extra cash.

[@tanjacavlovic8053]

I am taste testing drinks and food like ice creams as a side hustle for a research company who producers are hiring to get feedback from the market 😋 before they release it to shopping stores

[@marymanning5150]

Got paid £200 pw for using my home for hosting 2 to 3 French children, sometimes teachers, whilst on holiday in the Uk. Did it for a year to go to Australia. Had so much fun but at 77 I’ve decided it’s time to retire.

[@PatriciaMoffatt-ph6mf]

Good morning😊

[@LadyBeeSting2434]

Great ideas, thanks for sharing!

[@katiejon17]

Five years ago, my husband and I got married. We had about 40 guests, and kept the budget at $1,300 for it all (catering was BBQ, with BYO drinks). It was so lovely. A former colleague and friend offered to make our wedding cake for us as her gift, and we gladly accepted! Of course a few years later she made a move on my husband👀(yikes) and we have broke all contact with her... but hey - if you have a skill like this it could be a win-win.

[@murielmoloney1043]

Love ur genius ideas

[@UndertheMedian]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@janetmacdonald2823]

[@Joce123]

I would rather cut expenses.

[@ingetnamn-de9fc]

Sometimes you can't do that but you need more money for a sudden expense.

[@ingetnamn-de9fc]

Plant something and sell. Garlic is very good.

[@lindadorman2869]

I tried a bunch of side gigs like mystery shopping, transcription, proofreading, copywriting, blogging, surveys, personal tasks, stock photography, etc...most turned out to be not worth the time or pennies earned. Finally, I found online reselling. Once you list your items, it's practically passive income. Now I earn more than I did working for someone else, set my own schedule and spend just a few hours packing and shipping orders twice a week. On average, I earn 10X what I paid for the items I sell.

[@robertadunaway7030]

I loved mystery shopping for Dominos back in the day.

[@TJMcDowell]

If you don't mind me asking, on which sites do you list?

[@Patchouliprince]

I often have an extremely hard time even finding people who can afford to pay me to do little jobs

[@yvonnebourque9115]

Elderly relatives paid someone to come do their laundry.

[@brg2743]

We damaged a tv screen and it is like when a computer screen needs replaced. Where can you buy a tv screen to replace it? Would like to fix it myself because I have done this with an old computer.

[@lesliekanengiser8482]

TV's are so cheap now. You can buy a brand new one for 99 dollars. (Even cheaper depending on brand/size). I'd really think it would be cheaper than finding the screen and replacing it. Although, I'm not an expert. Especially newer televisions. They don't even make replacement parts sometimes

[@Sharlene-x4q]

How do you know that if you have someone house sitting that they will leave when you get back.

[@UndertheMedian]

My daughter-in-law housesat for friends. So, they knew she would leave when they got back.

[@Nicole-zv7ee]

Does anyone have any thoughts or feedback (good or bad) about donating plasma, for extra money?

[@celestebarrentine3922]

My husband used to donate for extras.... be sure you are well hydrated and eating well. If you start to notice yourself tending to be fatigued, or seeming to be unwell... colds, etc, back off on the frequency of donations. Otherwise, I regularly recommend it to people as a good way to bring in some extra cash.

[@robertadunaway7030]

My sisters and I have thought about it but the closest facility is 40 min away.

[@tamibrantley7986]

I did it years ago, it covered my car payment until I got enough raise to fill the need. I went every week twice a week for 9 months but I started I having low iron and being turned away part of the time. If I were doing it today I would donate twice a week for a month to get the bonus and then take the next month off to allow your body to recuperate. I have always said it was the easiest money I ever made.

[@dawncurtis583]

It is worth it. The better hydrated you are the quicker the donation will be. I can’t remember which it is but your iron or protein needs to be high enough or you can get deferred from donating for a period of time.

[@MinnesotaCabin6]

I tried it, but kept getting light-headed, no matter what I ate prior to donating. Fainted twice. Pay attention to how you feel thru the whole process. Don't leave the facility until you have eaten a snack. My son had no trouble when he donated.
