To ask for your best side hustles?

I’ve reported that post

@TheTravelRobin are you talking about signing up to Inteletravel, which is the ‘travel agent’ front of a pyramid scheme called PlanNet Marketing? You are using distinctly MLM pyramid scheme language “sells itself” for example. If so you shouldn’t be trying to recruit here. It must be the only travel agent that made more money when there was a pandemic travel ban than when we were all free to travel. That’s because it makes its money from recruiting people to be “travel agents” not from selling travel and there were a lot of people tricked into schemes during the pandemic. ABTA was basically bribed to let Inteletravel snuggle up to them. It needs closing down.

Also taking in animals, that's sure to go down well with your HMO flatmates and not get you evicted.

OH GOD do not touch MLMs, by the way. It's only profitable if you start your own.

I do petsitting through CatInAFlat - I have experience of having cats and occasionally having done it for friends, and it helps if you're someone who likes animals but can't have your own, as it's like having a bonus pet for a few days. It's not regular work but I have a couple of people who book me when they go away and I use that money to pay for fun things or just stick it in my savings. There isn't an equivalent for dogsitting that I know of, near me people tend to use trained/professional dogwalkers and it seems to be harder to do on an ad-hoc basis around a full-time job.

Buying and selling online isn't as easy as it used to be a few years ago in terms of making extra cash - I think the quick availability of things on Amazon and the lower cost of things like Shein have devalued second-hand things a lot, and people have less money to spend on more expensive things. I would be wary of flipping (buying stuff specifically to sell) unless you know of a good niche - I have a couple of hobbies which have led to me being good at spotting stuff in charity shops or FB marketplace that sell well online, and also where to sell them (hobby forums/FB groups are good, Depop can work well if it's something very Gen Z friendly). If you have stuff yourself you could stand to get rid of, Vinted is good, or also selling on FB groups - I am a member of a few for specific brands/styles and have found that the least hassle.

That's low pay. Works out at £25 for 3 hours. Most cleaners get at least £10-15ph these days. Don't do it for less than £30 per shift.

I’m just wondered where I can apply for one of these? What do I search/are there any companies that spring to mind?

@LivingDeadGirlUK I am reasonably fit and have done cleaning before. I am confident I can cope with this. The only issue I have is that I love my friday nights and I would have to give these up, but only for 4 weeks. The job is until 8.30/9pm every weekday

How fit are you? Professional cleaners need to work fast and 3 hours on your feet every night might be exhausting. However only for 4 weeks so is it worth being knackered for the extra cash?

I've got the option to do a 4 week temp cleaning job in the eves (on top of FT job). It's local, 3 hours a night weekdays. I will get paid £500 for the 4 weeks.

Thoughts ? I don't want to do it but I do want the money

And if you haven't been to university already there's the OU for part-time study funded by a student loan. Or if you already have a degree, you can get a student loan for another one if it's in a STEM subject I believe.

Sell clothes on Vinted. Ive made around £250 so far

The gov is running skills bootcamps at the moment which are free. There's also usually a free adult education service run by councils.

Very true, you can exploit grieving people without wasting your time with a course

Why bother taking a course when bullshitting people is free?

To those saying skill up. That isn't easy when you're living month to month as a lot of courses, even online ones can cost quite a lot. I have been looking at courses at my local college and a lot of them are over £1000 just to enrol without extra equipment that may be needed on top. I don't have that kind of money spare

Why bother commenting??

Joining an MLM isn't going to help anyone who is already grafting for 40 hours a week on minimum wage.

So basically being a clairvoyant has nothing to do with having ‘the gift’ rather just taking a few classes? Definitely ethical

I'm a Clairvoyant/ Medium/ Tarot reader but not practicing.
Is it something you're interested in?
Spiritualist churches have free development classes.
Tarot can be learnt by almost anyone and it's using your 6th sense and practicing and practicing.. practice for free on friends and family..

Then start charging once you have developed and have confidence . Do some research on line.. visit readers?
Average price you charge for a reading is £25 to £40.

It's not a side hustle but I've discovered a way of making survey money quickly and easily on Attapoll and cashing out through Revolut and getting their rewards.
Sign up to Attapoll and start doing the surveys.
Create a Revolut account- do a google search to get a link that will give you £20 free promo code.
The cash out from Attapoll to Revolut is low at £2.50, you can make this per day with not too much effort. Once you've done this a couple of times, start spending using the Revolut card. They will send you offers for free £10 bonuses if you spend every day for 3 days within a week. There is no minimum spend, so I would buy a bottle of water on 3 consecutive days using the survey money I'd made- and kaching , a free £10 reward! :) This has happened 3 times in the last month!!
I have made £50 through Revolut and roughly £20 of money through Attapoll with not much effort at all.
It'd been a godsend to me and I've spent it on food and fuel!

So why come on here and tell us that ? Massively useless addition to the thread

@Sidehustelesplea , do you want to stay in hospitality? If so, I'd recommend moving around to different companies while you're young. Pay jumps are quicker going from company to company (usually). Staying in one place means wages tend to be stagnant.

Are there any training courses you can do to progress careerwise? If so, in the long run, your evenings are probably better spent studying towards that rather than doing side hustles.

If you don't want to stay in hospitality, your evenings are probably better spent applying for new roles so you can get onto a career ladder you want to climb.

This is the best and worst reply I've seen on Mumsnet
