My best side hustle was washing windows ( all ground floors). First day I made enough to pay my monthly rent and utilities. Only cost $20 in materials to start.

When I was downsizing I sold a ton on Facebook marketplace and yard sales. I have to say now that I absolutely hate selling. I was not made to be a seller. 😂 I’d rather give it all away than to negotiate and deal with a lot of people. I found it to be so stressful. Now I just donated anything I don’t want. But I admire people that can do this well and enjoy it. You are awesome 😎 I love your ideas. Keep up the good work. I appreciate you and your insights.

There is no doubt this lady is going to become a millionaire!! She hustles!!!

One of my best and easiest side hustles was a pet sitter. I was living in a smallish city of 350 000 people. The one and only kennel closed, so people had few economical options to place their pets when went on vacation (and weren't able to bring their pets with them). My beloved kitty had died and I wasn't in a situation to get a new one. To make a long story short, placed an add on Kijiji offering my services as an at-home cat sitting service. I got to keep people's cats in my apartment (usually one at a time) and charged 10$ a day for this, plus they supplied their food/litter. It was great because I got to take care of people's cats in my home. It wasn't hugely lucrative (300$/month at best) but I got a "free" cat that kept me company for very little effort. The owners were also happy that their cat or cats were not alone. It paid for groceries at the time (this was 10 years ago and I lived in one of the cheapest cities in Canada).

I don't know if it counts but I knit bears. I could sale them for $25. $30 each but I give them to foster kids. I make 2 a day, 10 a week. Yarn went up in price like everything else, but the supply is about $3.00 each. If I run into money troubles, I intend to sale the beaus especially around Christmas. Overall, I give it a 9.5

My cousin bought a bouncy castle and rented it out every weekend, plus it was there for his 3 kids' birthday parties.

Nicole, I just want you to know my boyfriend and I LIVE for your videos every Sunday morning. We get up, make coffee, read a profound quote from his stoicism book and discuss it over a cup of coffee, and then happily enjoy and have our minds blown by the 10am video release. We always learn something new and you’ve helped motivate us to keep our finances in check. Side note, so cool to see your channel grow from 10k to where it is now. You’re amazing and we love and support you!

I've had T1 diabetes for almost 4 decades. I've done tons of focus groups on T1. I live in a high altitude town, so companies that make blood test meters wanted to test them at altitude. They gave us supplies for these new meters, and supplies for whatever meter you already used. All you had to do was test the same drop of blood on both their meter and your meter, and record all the results. Not only did I make about $350 for about a month of doing daily blood tests that I already did anyway, but I got free supplies for my own meter which saved me money. Well worth it!

Teaching English makes sense since you are so articulate and communicate beautifully. Thanks for sharing

My father is retired and he help my sister with flipping items from marketplace. My sister would check out the marketplace and bring the item to my father to renew. One example is faded chandelier in need of polishing. Get a nice picture of it in a bright sunny room and my sister would relist it in the marketplace at higher price. My father also grow things in the backyard. Most of it is to eat and canning/pickling, but any extras are traded with my extended family members. We'll trade crops like bok choy, spinach and fuzzy melons. There's a lot of seed trading too. Seeds from a plant that grew in your local area for multiple years will result in healthy strong plants, resilient to your local habitat.

I've never had any side hustles, but I've been a dish washer, bus boy, butcher, fishmonger, prep chef, line chef, carpenter's apprentice, CNA, beer truck driver, cement truck driver, bus driver, stock room clerk, door to door saleman, janitor, electrician's apprentice, landscapper, security guard, and a guardsman.

The focus group one is funny because I give my opinion all the time for free 🙃

My number one side hustle is doing part time food delivery on my bike in nyc with grubhub, door dash, ubereat along with my 6 figures IT support job. I give it 10/10

I worked a full time job on the graveyard shift for 38 years during that time i had a janitorial business for 30 of those years

I have an Etsy shop as a side hustle where I sell crochet patterns as digital downloads. There's definitely a lot of work dreaming up a project, trying to make it (version 1), adjusting the process to improve the end result (version 2), creating it yet again while writing out the pattern steps and taking photos (version 3). But once it's created and uploaded to my Etsy shop, I can sell that one pattern to countless people forever. Only thing is that you never quite know how well a particular crochet project will go over with people. Some of the ones I like best haven't performed like I would have liked. Others, that I don't think are my best, to the point I didn't think hardly anyone would want to learn how to do it, have done pretty well. You just never know. Another thing is that each pattern I sell isn't for a lot of money. So this side hustle is a trickle of income rather than a stream. But it's fun, if sometimes frustrating.

WHEN ''FLIPPING'' CONSIDER MEETING AT A BANK, IT'S SAFE, THERES SECURITY CAMERAS, PEOPLE EVERYWHERE AND AFTER THE TRANSACTION YOU CAN DEPOSIT THE MONEY IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, A LEGITIMATE TRIP TO THE BANK.

My best side hustle ever was tutoring calculus and statistics. Lots of non-STEM people have to take stats, Public Health and Business for example. They dread it so they put it off until their final year, then they panic when they're bombing. You can charge VERY well. When I lost my fulltime job, I decided to finish my novel before looking for another, and tutoring paid well enough to let me work 15hrs a week for those months.

Yes beautifull that is exactly what I do for the past 15 years as a hobby & was very surprised to hear it from you - I am about cuttings - I grow rare superhot peppers such as Habanero, Trinidad Scorpions, Nagas etc but I sell everything seeds, 1month seedlings, 3-4month grown ups, peppers and of course cuttings, but I stress to all - you must love what you do, love growing plants, if filling cups with soil for a few hours in the morning is not your thing don't bother 😂

The credit card thing usually gives you a time limit which makes it hard to spend on just your needs like groceries gas etc Like $3,000 in 30 days… i think i spend way less on basic necessities than that I have a mango tree in my backyard that gives way more mangoes than i can eat and give away So i sold them by batches of 10 for $20 on facebook marketplace One day after a very windy night i had 30 and a lady came and bought them all! Had a few repeat customers but the tree gives for only about 2-3 weeks but i sold about 100 mangoes. Made $200 And i did eat some and give some to friends and relatives

My best side hustle? Dumpster diving. Haven't bought groceries in almost 3 years, and lots of free stuff to flip or scrap. Easiness 9, Profitability 8, Scalability 4, Fun 9.

I do granny sitting,just that sit chat,eat lunch together. Extra 1000$ a month for 12 hrs a week

Only ones I've done are side jobs as an electrician, any trade that has residential work can do this. Advertise your services online and handle the business end yourself and you can scale it to whatever level you want. People often don't want to pay full price for a company to come in and do it, and if you're working alone, you can often undercut them. I've known guys who are good and their services spread through word of mouth fast and they have more business than they can handle. You do have to work with the customer directly so it may not be for everyone but you sure can make a living if you want to. I also delivered newspapers twice a week until I was 18, not sure if that's a viable one anymore but it was decent for pocket money when I was young.

My favorite side hustle of all time has to be donating plasma. I don't know if it's the same in other countries but in the us you can get paid a ton to sit in a chair and watch TV for an hour while a machine takes your blood from your arm, removes the plasma and puts it back. Easiest money ever in my opinion

This was a really interesting video, so refreshing to hear of some different side hustles and also not just someone talking about stuff they haven’t done! Thanks

I’m an extreme couponer. I get hundred of dollars of products for free or make money on it. I sell a lot through my parents party store and make a few hundred dollars a month and get all personal care, laundry care and a lot of food for free

For us gardeners, plant sales off propagation of rare plants. There is some cost (soil, water, buying the mother plant) and time. Sell on craigslist. I don’t do Facebook, or any social media whatsoever (except KZfaq).

A lot of these I never even thought about before! Real interesting stuff

I just adore you, Nicole! You could even be a preacher without being preachy!

I've been a certified fitness instructor for 26 years. it's a great side hustle because I get paid to exercise, stay fit and feel better about myself. It's been great!

hey Nicole, I like your contents, they are so realistic to do . Thank you. I wish you could make 2 videos in a week. I really enjoy your videos

I make jewelry and freelance every weekend! I love it! Great video Nicole!

Seems reasonable, sound advice from a young woman in Canada. I liked visiting there. I’m in, you’re doing a good job and providing good advice. Being sensible is great.

Thanks Nicole!😊

Thank you for the great video, Nicole ! ❤

I think one of the best applications of youtube is to be able to document what used to be called "stupid human tricks". There does not seem to be a shortage of those people, both in civilian and governmental circles.

Another awesome video. Some great ideas. Thanks so much for the info

i really enjoy your great ideas and appreciate you posting this video

Omg, house plants be warned. Thanks for the ideas❣️

I've done a number of the years too. Flipping for sure, I mowed lawns, and one point I baked cakes, i did graphic design as a kid and now i do print service as my company and often have to design things for people, so that grew to a full business. Ive delivered papers/flyers. I reviewed product like tested it and then gave the manufacturer feedback about it, wrote a few articles for them, i helped a friend with her business and helped with sign/vinyl installation. Ive done pet sitting for weeks or a month at a time. My latest is in my shop is I'm designing and selling vinyl decal stickers that i print and cut. I do it in my spare time, when it's quiet, and it only brings a few bucks a week, like $10-20, from about 6 deisgns out, but meh, it's fun, and they seem to do ok. I only sell them for $2.50 ea. I tried to do the focus groups but got rejected. My other friend seems to get picked often enough. She also does pet sitting and runs and antiques booth on weekends, otherwise she is a par time tracher. Im considering the plants because each year my Yucca, hostas, and succulants go crazy and repop so its just money in the ground. There are so many opportunities to do side hustles. One i thought would do decent. Photogrpahy lessons on cruise ships. I went on a trip and was amazed to find, at the time, so many people got expensive dslr cameras for the trip andnhad no idea how to use them. You could probably offer the classes either before the cruises and target those demographics.

Love this video. Amazing side Hussles. You are as awesome as you always have been. Thanks for sharing your strategies for success.

Great ideas! Thanks! 😊

I like this video. Good ideas and it has given me some other ideas. I'm saving this video for a reminder.

Another great video! Lots of good ideas, I might start selling plants from my yard.

Nicole, your videos are very inspiring, thank you so much!

I watched the whole video! Every minute was interesting and engaging

Thanks Nicole.

Good one Nicole!

Your content is absolutely awesome 😎😎

Oooh ! I stumbled upon the plant propagation without really trying either ! hehe. your monstera looks amazing ! i saved one that was left in the street years ago and it's slowly getting back to health.

A long time ago (back in the 1980s) I did teaching accounting software during weekends for a private institution and also giving tuition to school kids. But the most enjoyable and lucrative in the 90s was writing for an online portal about touristy places in north Malaysia. I get to travel and get paid at the same time 😁.

Great video thanks so much

I used to do focus groups. Fun easy $$

The last four years I have been scoring tests for a company from April through June. It works great for me because I can do it at home at night, weekends around my full time job. I make $17-$22/hr and make about $2k. That's helpful to a single income. You do have to have a Bachelor's Degree to do it. Now trying to grow my YT channel. Thanks for all the info Nicole!

Nicole is certified hustler 😂

A good friend of mine told me how to make money on estate sales what you do is you’ll look for an estate sale that’s selling a lot of sea artwork everybody shows up for the artwork but a lot of times they will be like one antique little end table that’s worth like five grand but they’re selling it for like 200 bucks so you can get that one thing real cheap and flip it quick. My friend The told me this he owned an insurance company on Wall Street so he knew a lot about business. His father was also an antique dealer.

I like your channel. You give great advice/information. New subscriber here.

Cool video👍

I buy and sell a lot on FB and make good profit, especially when it's something thrown out that's perfectly good. I just can't stand dealing with the 90 % of responders who ask stupid questions that can be answered by reading the ad or questions that don't matter or they just ghost you. Oh yeah, not to mention the endless, pathetically obvious scams.

Wow, I really admire your creativity! I used to teach playing the piano as a side hustle but it was tough (usually the parents were more ambitious than their kids).

I do cleaning 🧹🧼🧽🪣for my side hustle good $ in cash 😊 700-800 a month.

There was a great version of credit card churning a friend of mine did years ago, when they’d offer 0% interest on anything INCLUDING CASH ADVANCES for the first +/- 12 months. Get the card, draw out as much cash as they’d allow, then put the money in high-yield savings. At the end of the introductory offer, just yank the money out of savings and pay off the card. Not gigantic money exactly but it’s a 4% yield spread or whatever you’re earning in savings, and it’s about five minutes of work per month! Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a lot of those true zero percent offers around anymore

I'm trying furniture flipping myself. First two furniture's I flip i did no work on them. I just bought them from a garage sale cheap and sold them more than what I bought it for. I'm currently trying to sell my 3rd furniture. The 3rd one I found abandoned, decided to take it home fix it up and paint it. Not selling as fast as I hoped which is a bummer. I do have a KZfaq channel which is similar to yours. It's basically a Finacial channel. Did like the video. Even though I didn't pay anything for the 3rd furniture it's probably still going to be a lost after buys the sander, paint, wooder fillers and the brushes. Of course, I can reuse it all if I decide to do another project. I live in a small apartment, so it was a hassle trying to find space to paint.

I do a lot of online focus groups and market research. It pays pretty well for the time and effort that's involved and I really enjoy seeing other human faces because I am a self employed business of one and work from home. I've never seen any that pay what you got, but we are now post pandemic and I'm in the UK. Still worth it though. :)

They used to do focus groups in the mall. They didn't pay that well, but sometimes you got some free products for sitting down and answering a few questions. I think they stopped working out of malls shortly after I discovered them.

When eBay came out I started selling and buying on there. It picked me up some fun money. Now that I’m retired I now have more time to devote to buying and selling. I sell stuff for friends and family and give them,the profits, but mostly my own items. But the best part is feedback that the item was something their mother or grandfather had and they never thought they would find one. Plus I make custom and restore items to sell.

I was asked to do a “side hustle” as the “Director of the Advance General Practice Residency” program at a major trauma hospital in Oakland, California (one time the city was named the murder capital of the USA). I weighed the pros and cons of teaching new doctors in a trauma center versus working in a large healthcare company making a lot of money (“money talks and bullshit walks”). I chose to work at the health insurance company because I don’t like to teach despite my post graduate degrees (BA, MD, MS, MPA). I couldn’t be happier because my gross income for 2023 was over $700,000.00!!! Laughing all the way to the bank!!! Life is good.

I love td bank lol forgot their from up their

I've been doing online arbitrage for almost 10 years now. It's been my most favorite side hustle I've done. I don't consider it work as I actually have fun doing this. Online arbitrage has allowed me to own nicer things for the home for either almost nothing or I made money from the items I own (ex: constantly buying the same item dirt cheap and reselling online for more.)

I haven't even heard of a focus group before this. Could be because I live in a pretty small city

Informative video as always, thanks Nicole! How do you feel about gig apps as a side hustle(DoorDash, Amazon Flex, Roadie,etc…)? I’ve done some food delivery and it’s far from a full time job but kinda fun. Also I’m a blogger and know there is some to be made in freelance writing.

Mock jury, all online, pd via PayPal. Similar to credit card bonus but with no credit score damage, open checking and savings accounts for bonus. Terms vary; maybe need direct deposit for set number of months or need certain account balance for set number of months. Clinical trials - especially in stage 3 - can last a few years -- GREAT money.

Focus groups are weird. When I canceled cable I ended up in front of a one way mirror explaining why for $250, but that was nowhere near as lucrative as when I had "IT" in my job title and had companies throwing themselves at me to discuss why I didn't buy their products... though the free Diet Pepsi in the mail made focus groups more fun.

The monstera idea is good

Really good video, Nicole. Thanks for sharing :)

Window cleaning for 15 years. Make $250/hr+. Nothing better

You know, she is from Canada and not from Germany (where i live) is because she didn't talked about taxes. If you would do anything of that in Germany, you would be paying half of your income as tax at some point lol

My only thing with focus groups is having to bid on them and do the pre-screening calls, this adds a bit of time for sure

I sell vintage housewares and kitchen stuff on Etsy. It’s more of a part time job. I have been doing some version of this since college when I started selling clothing on eBay. Back then you had to learn HTML to make a listing and invest in a digital camera because there were really no phones with cameras built in! It was also a lot easier to sell because less people did this due to the initial costs and having to learn more than you do now.

Wasn't the side hustle a disco dance in the 70's?

I would get box lots from an Auction which I sold what I never wanted on Marketplace but the last year or two have turned into a disaster with the wrong people in this area.

I've been doing focus groups in my area for many years. The firm I use the most has gone from paying cash to a prepaid credit card to a prepaid digital credit card that is sent to you minutes after your focus group concludes. If you read the fine print, you can sometimes convert your digital CC to cash that will be deposited to your bank account for a small fee. That is my personal preference, your mileage may vary.

I always watch your videos Nicole, but I think you should seriously consider making podcasts! I bet you would be super successful and make more money 💰💰💰😁

I wonder how long you will be able to sell your plants before the growers do like the seed companies did to farmers and not allow you to sell them from your plants.

I used to do focus groups many many years ago. They even had ones that served you lunch. I don’t think I ever made more than $40 or $50 but this was a good 20 years ago. I think the last one was BuzzFeed when it was starting up. Even if they still have them around here which I don’t know if they do they’re very demographic based and I’ve aged out of the demographic now. I used to do online surveys also.

@accordingtonicole yes you need muscles and strengthen ...skills and you'd be balling

Nicole, how do you get buyers gor your plant cuttings and how do you get them to the buyer? I would live to do this.

Do you think It is necessary to have a niche in order to have a successful KZfaq channel? I recently started posting shorts but I have no idea what topic I want to upload about but I still want to start.

where does nicole sell stuff at?

Yeah I love churning got 5900 worth of flights so far

Did you do some of these hustles for a cash income? I know that's not an option for some that involves employment with companies paying and the credit cards normally send tax forms which account for the "bonus" $ as earned interest. Either way there are positives/negatives.

I've considered teaching piano over youtube, with checks off a couple of your business ideas

In the past, I cut grass for some of my neighbours.

How do you ship a cutting?

Not related but I worry about you not having blinds on your windows and sliding door to your back yard. Especially at night. 😔

8 billion people on this planet but only one Nicole.. Earth kinda sucks 💯

I have a monetized YT channel and starting a second one once I retire. I also consult for two businesses that call me when they need technical information. I charge them $50 a phone call or text per issue. If it runs over 5 minutes it jumps to $100. Their costs go up as I do more research for them. My channel and consult are what I did all my professional life so its a 9/10 on easy for me.

Great content, keep up the good work! Can you make a video on investing strategies for beginners?? Thanks!

Ive been trying marketing on line and they promise things like a $75 gift card for tacobell but are all scams, is there a safe way to find a focus group? Scams may be an American thing
