20 Side Hustles To Try While Working Full-Time
20 Side Hustles To Try While Working Full-Time
Over one-third of American adults have a side hustle alongside their full-time job. Whether you're one of those people already looking for new ideas, or you want to be one of those people bringing in a little extra money every month, here are 20 side hustles you can try—without giving up your 9-to-5 job.
Pet Or House Sitting
Whether you have pets of your own or simply love dogs and cats (four legs are good, right?), pet sitting and/or house sitting is a great way to earn some extra cash without giving up your full-time gig!
This is particularly good if you have a work-from-home full-time job, which makes looking after someone's house or pets for them while they're away an absolute breeze!
There are a bunch of house sitting and pet sitting websites out there to join—or you can put a post on your local Facebook group, or community notice board.
On average, you could charge between $20 and $40 per day, depending on what the requirements are of the job.
Run Errands For People
Far too many people have almost no time in their lives to run errands and do other necessary tasks.
If you're so-inclined and have the time off work during the week, you can offer to run errands for your elderly neighbor who can't always make it to the grocery store or some other errand. Charge them the cost of your gas and time and hey, presto!
A side hustle is born.
The approximate earnings for errand running is about $36.00 per hour.
Paint Houses
If you're looking for a summertime side hustle, there's always someone that needs their house painted.
While you'll require at bare minimum a paintbrush and some raggedy clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, doing the odd job of exterior painting is simple enough and could turn into a neat little side hustle for your days off.
You can also offer to stain someone's deck as a secondary element to your exterior painting business.
The average house painter can earn between $15 and $40 per hour.
Tutor Others
If you've got the knowledge, share it! If you know your stuff when it comes to mathematics, English, science, or any other topics (and you've got the qualifications to back it up), offer your services as a tutor to kids or adults in your neighborhood who may struggle with these topics.
It's emotionally rewarding as well as being a good way to line your pockets: Elementary school tutors can charge between $20 and $75 an hour, middle school tutors can charge between $25 and $80 an hour, and high school tutors can make bank, charging between $30 and $100 an hour. Go forth and teach.
