Side Hustles You Can Start for FREE
- Pooper Scooper. Yes, I’m starting with this one. You can actually make really good money picking up dog poop. This is especially true if you live in a major metropolitan area. There are a lot of people who just simply don’t want to pick up poop. My kids recently made $40 each picking up poop from a yard that took them less than 30 minutes to do. Umm…$80 an hour to pick up poop using a scooper and some plastic bags? I can do that!
- Babysitter. If you like kids and don’t mind babysitting, offer up your services as a babysitter! Babysitters actually make pretty decent money anyway, plus, oftentimes you can do it in your own home.
- House cleaner. You can offer up your services cleaning houses. Yes, you should probably have your own gear, but you can offer a lower price and use the clients’ products instead of bringing your own. Why not offer up this service to friends and family to get started?
- Folding laundry. Here’s a secret about me. I literally hate folding laundry. HATE IT. I would gladly pay someone to fold my laundry for me if my husband would agree. That being said, I know that a lot of people would happily pay for this service. Why not post an ad on FB marketplace offering these services. Or, again, offer to do it for friends and family to get started.
