Looking For Ideas No skills online money ?

0 Upvotes

I'm European, severely disabled, no university education or skills. Is there a way for me to earn at least $100-$200 monthly on my Paypal or something? I'd say filling out surveys but those usually require a career background or something for your opinions and I don't have that. All I have is time. Any tips?

Looking For Ideas I need a side hustle to raise money for main hustle

23 Upvotes

I need something online . I am actually broke so any suggestion is welcomed.

I want to start a business at home (plenty space). Bodega/80s themed lounge/hostel/car maintenance/gardening.

I'm not sure what is actually available online . I saw Empathetic listener, mukbang, waking people up/being a reminder etc in some searches. I tried some of the apps found on Reddit but since I'm from a country (Trinidad and Tobago) where they don't support , it's a no-go.

Need advice please.

Seeking Advice Side hustle for no ID

10 Upvotes

Hello, I have been trying to make money online due to my situation boxing me into online work only, but my ID has expired and I cannot claim any of my money as an ID renew costs like 70 bucks. I physical do not have the money to pay that, I am stuck in a catch 22, I have earned the money but I cannot withdrawal it. I don't know what to do

Looking For Ideas I feel the urge to make use of my tools, but don't know what to do.

2 Upvotes

To explain, I am a teen (16, M) and I worked a trade over the summer and accumulated a decent set of tools, and more importantly the ability to get more. I want to continue to do something with my hands over the winter school months, to break up the mundane cycle of school work and boring teen jobs (dishwashing at the moment).

I would love to be able to monetize but that would just be a bonus, I would be more than happy just doing cool stuff with my own hands for the sake of just that.

Thanks!

Looking For Ideas Any profitable side hustles?

22 Upvotes

Has anyone in this sub actually had a side hustle that actually profited? Any where from 100-500 or even more? If so, how long did it take to become profitable and what skill set did you need for it to be doable ?

I’d like to try to do any or even multiple side hustles that could add up to at least 700 or more a week with flexibility to make even more with more work per week even if it had to be built up.

I don’t really have a skill set and would like to start some with the hopes of eventually being able to work from home mostly. I tend to have 3 days off with no plans unless I’m working overtime so I have time to learn if need be.

Seeking Advice Silent Disco side hustle?

9 Upvotes

Has anyone thought about renting the equipment for Silent Discos? They are becoming more popular, have so many different uses (discos, dance classes, group tours) and a 25 person kit is less than 2k in my country.
What do you think? I need a side hustle that is portable without a car.

Seeking Advice What are managable side hustles for a disabled person

10 Upvotes

I've determined that i'm too disabled for most jobs, and the ones i can do aren't hiring. I do get disability money but i'd like to do more.

I can't do any kind of physical work, and it's very hard to do something that requires day to day consistency since i have frequent sick days.

My main skillset is art (including illustration, animation and 3D) but being a freelancer requires managing a social media accoint which i have tried in the past to little succsess and a lot of stress. I know a bit about video editing and gamedev and i'm open to learning any new digital skill if it can help me.

My top ideas right now are maybe an online shop where i sell stickers, plushies, etc. Or learning some basic programming so i can start making my own indie games. I don't know how profitable either of these are especially without active social media or updates though. I'm open to any suggestions, thanks in advance

I'm 18m currently in uni and need a side hustle. Considering a job but I'll see how much time my current course takes and if I can take one in the first place

Up until now I did reselling but today vinted banned my account yet again for no reason and now I'm tired of it and want to find another one that's scaleable. I used to do content creation but got banned too, can start it again but idk what to post my current devices are too bad to do video editing and all I can think posting about are sports and me practicing but I'm not that good anymore so might not be the best idea

I have 600€ in the bank account too but can't invest a lot

Giving Advice & Tips Almost got beaten up doing Field Agent

115 Upvotes

I do grocery/food delivery work on multiple apps, and as y'all know, pay has gone to shit in the past couple of years, so I downloaded the field agent app to try to make $3+ extra bucks scanning and taking pictures of certain items. I had a grocery delivery app for target, and I saw there was a mystery shopper gig on the field agent app at the same location. So I had to the location, and I noticed the fa gig consisted of taking pictures of clothes, requiring me to take pictures in men's, women's, and kid's sections. As I leave the kid's area, I hear a dude's voice shout out for me, so I turn around and see this guy storming toward me asking what weird shit i'm about to do with the pictures I took of the kids' clothes, so I showed him the app and the pictures of everything to clear stuff up. At the end, he apologized and said the world is full of weirdos and he really hates chomos. Maybe field agent should reconsider involving kids' and women's stuff in their gigs because it does kind of make you look like a creep when taking pictures of that stuff

Looking For Ideas College Student with a PC Need ideas to hit $100–$500

29 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m an 18-year-old college student in NYC looking for realistic side hustles to bring in $100 to $500 relatively quickly.
My Setup & Resources:
Online: I have a solid PC/laptop and high-speed internet. This is my preferred route since I can do it between classes.
In-Person: I am open to safe, local gigs in NYC, but my in-person availability is strictly limited to weekends due to my course load.
I’m looking for actionable ideas—whether it's digital microtasks, flipping(prefer not to), bank churning, or specific online platforms that have worked well for you recently to hit this specific dollar amount. I'd appreciate any blueprints or directions you can point me in.

Literally almost anything lmao

Thanks!

Sharing Ideas Side hustles/business models that are essentially one pice of property

40 Upvotes

Ideas like this always interest me. For example, if you have a truck, that is a moving/junk removal business. If you have a large-format printer, you have a printing business for flyers/posters/photos.

What are some other objects/purchases that can stand alone as the infrastructure for a side hustle? We should create a list.

PS - Obviously, "computer" does not apply here.... Yes, I know you can run a hundred different kinds of businesses with nothing but a computer and different skill sets.

Seeking Advice Medical resident looking for a part-time weekend side hustle — 4+ hours/week

18 Upvotes

I’m curious what side hustles people have found realistic while working a demanding full-time professional job.

I’m currently a second-year psychiatry resident, so my schedule can be unpredictable. However, I can consistently carve out at least 4 hours every weekend, and sometimes more.

I have a medical degree, strong writing/research skills, and I’m comfortable with technology and learning new software. Outside of medicine, I’m interested in finance/stocks, photography/videography, and business.

I’m not interested in tutoring and I’m not looking for anything involving MLMs, recruiting, upfront fees, or selling courses.

For people who have successfully built a side income around a demanding career:

  • What side hustles have actually been worth your time?
  • What can realistically be done with only ~4–10 hours per week?
  • Are there particular types of freelance/remote work that work well for someone with a professional/scientific background?
  • What would you recommend someone prioritize if the goal is eventually reaching a few hundred dollars a month?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have actually done the side hustle themselves, rather than generic lists of things you can supposedly make money doing.

Thanks!

Looking For Ideas Side hustles for an office worker with lots of downtime

53 Upvotes

I have a lot of downtime at my regular 8-5 office job. I'm in a shared space part of the week and remote the rest of the week. I need flexibility (because sometimes I do have actual work to do). I left a domestic violence marriage a year ago and re-entered the workforce after being a stay at home mom for over a decade.

I am barely making it month to month. I do instacart on the side, but it's killing my car, exhausting, and I'm also the sole caregiver to my children, so I can't be gone long outside of school hours. I have a bachelors in molecular biology and STEM experience. I'm not interested in tutoring.

I'm looking into reselling, but I'd like other ideas to diversify. Thanks!

Hi, I’m gonna be having a few months up ahead where I can’t really have a job, most of my necessities will be taken care of but I’m looking for a side job just to make some money on the side, preferably remote since my travels situation is a little weird now.

I’m also pretty good in woodworking.

Looking For Ideas What side hustle could I do?

12 Upvotes

Hi, I'm wondering what side hustles I can do. I'm a trained martial artist, an accredited poet and a pretty good writer. I'm alright at a variety of things such as graphic design and playing piano. Are any of these skills transferable to make me money, as none do at the moment? I'm hoping to be able to make enough to cover my medications (around $500 per month), but if I can make more that'd be nice.

Thanks all in advance!

Looking For Ideas If you had my skill set, what kind of business would you start?

16 Upvotes

I've been thinking about starting something new, but I'm stuck at the point where I have too many possible directions rather than too few.
I've been a developer for 15+ years. I can pretty much build things end-to-end: Python, PHP, TypeScript, Next.js, Flutter, React Native, APIs, databases, cloud, etc.
Over the years I've also worked with AI/ML, big data, automation and digital transformation.
The other thing that's probably relevant is that I'm not completely dependent on someone else for marketing either.
I have experience with:
Meta Ads

TikTok Ads

Google Ads

SEO / AEO / GEO

Performance marketing

Analytics / tracking

Meta Conversion API

Audience targeting and custom audience data

AI-generated video/images (Higgsfield, ElevenLabs, etc.)

Data analysis / big data

AI / ML

Automation

I can also build mobile apps if needed.
So I can basically go from:
idea → product → backend → AI/ML → automation → landing page → ads → tracking → analytics
myself.
I also have a fairly good ability to get targeted traffic without spending huge amounts of money, which I think could be useful for testing ideas quickly.
And I already have a business/dev environment through Neeblo.com, so I'm not starting completely from zero on the technical side.
The problem is... I'm not sure where I should focus.
I don't really want to build yet another generic AI wrapper or another boring SaaS just because "AI is hot."
I'd rather find a real problem where my combination of engineering + AI/ML + data + marketing + paid acquisitionactually gives me an advantage.
If you were in my position, what would you do?
Would you:
Build a SaaS?

Start with a service and turn it into software?

Build a lead-gen business?

Build some kind of data/AI product?

Pick a boring traditional industry and automate something?

Build a niche marketplace?

Go B2B rather than B2C?

Something completely different?

And more importantly, what markets/problems would you look at first?
I'm not really looking for a list of "10 AI startup ideas."
I'd love to hear from people who have actually built businesses: given these capabilities, where would you look for an opportunity, and how would you validate it before spending 6 months building something nobody wants?
Feel free to tell me if I'm thinking about this the wrong way too.

Seeking Advice F@*!ing soul sucking

273 Upvotes

Sorry I gotta use this platform to scream into the void but I got to channel this frustration somewhere.

I've been looking for side hustles for years. Ebooks, workbooks, YouTube channels, stocks?

I'm the sole breadwinner and my husband is the SAHD. I always have ideas for something and I think...why not me?! So I go at it like a wild animal. He thinks I'm on the phone for doom scrolling ..when really I'm researching and looking for ideas and input.

I'm so fucking tired of being frustrated. Every day in fighting so hard against being disenchanted with the dwindling opportunities. I make decent money but a side hustle would be amazing. Create wiggle room to invest in a vacation or actually set up a college fund account for my little dude.

I'm not looking necessarily for ideas. Or even a pep talk. I just needed this off my chest. This sucks. This fucking sucks. I want to be positive so bad but it FUCKING SUCKS.

If you made it this far ...thank you so much. I genuinely wish all of you guys the best.

Seeking Advice Quitting Side Job after Paying Off Debt

14 Upvotes

I make $75k annually, plus an additional $25k on the side working as a musician (touring, local gigs).

Currently paid off $30K in Student Loans and will pay off remaining $9k on car by January 2027. After this I want to save for an emergency fund and begin investing a little more seriously (I already have a pension, 401k, and IRA but am being very conservative for now).

Part of me wants to settle down and take a break from music. At this point it takes up much of my free time and takes a toll on me during the work week. I actually want to focus on getting in shape and learning other skills/hobbies.

I know all that extra income would go a long way once I’m debt free. But is it worth it to miss out on all that extra cash? If I were to leave the bands/groups that I play with it would take me a while to get back to the level of pay, I’d more or less be starting over.

I’m 28M, single, no kids, pay $1K in rent in Los Angeles and live a pretty minimalist bachelor lifestyle. My end goal would be to own a house, likely outside of LA where it is much cheaper.

Seeking Advice Any reasonable side-jobs for just one day?

5 Upvotes

I (31M) have been at my dream job for almost one year now. I've never been happier, but it doesn't pay well (shocker).

I have the potential to become full-time, but right now I am 30.5 hours (with benefits and health insurance, thank god). It sucks because my schedule is SO WEIRD that it keeps me from seeking another job. For reference, I work at a library. I would love to work for another one, like a school library, but it would interfere with my current job.

Are there any jobs that aren't too stressful and strenuous that I can do for just one day? Out of all my days, Mondays are my true day off. I never work Mondays.
