In this story, we highlight 11 profitable side hustle ideas to help you turn your passions into profit.
What is a side hustle?
A side hustle is any side job you do to earn extra money. Your side hustle won’t consume your life, but rather it’ll add a few hours per week to your schedule during which you can earn money using your skills. Some people opt to work for Uber, others try to offer services through Fiverr, and others may learn to teach kids yoga as a side hustle.
Since a side hustle is great for moms, we wanted to feature 11 profitable side hustle ideas to help inspire you to earn some extra cash in your spare time or around your schedule. Each of these ideas will help you make extra money on the side without disrupting much of your regularly scheduled day. Read on to learn more about each one.
Profitable Side Hustle Ideas
1. Drive for Uber or Lyft
Uber and Lyft are two of the many companies out there that hire drivers to take people where they need to go. You can either opt to deliver groceries for people or just drive people from one place to another.
2. Rent a Spare Room on Airbnb
Many parents notice that their house is quiet when their kids leave the nest and opt to rent a spare room on Airbnb. But for anyone with an extra bedroom, this might be a great way to earn some cash with overnight guests. Plus, if you like to meet new people, this side gig is a lot of fun! Just be sure to get the proper permits and insurance.
3. Manage Social Media for Small Businesses
Anyone can learn a new skill and social media is more important than ever for small businesses. So, social media management – on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and even LinkedIn – is a skill that can earn you quite a decent profit. Udemy has courses on this and so do other online sites. Once you’re knowledgeable, you can use LinkedIn and Facebook to promote your service (I mean, you might as well use social media to promote your expertise!)
4. Become a Tutor
There’s always a need tutors. You can find many sites that hire tutors or even specialty teachers. Pretzel Kids, for example, hires kids yoga teachers to work with private groups of kids. This is the perfect side hustle for teachers or someone with an education degree!
5. Sell Gigs on Fiverr
Fiverr started as a site where people can sell their services for just five dollars. Since then it has expanded and you can offer gigs for photography, graphic design, freelance writing, and more. If you’re the creative type or have a skill to offer, consider creating a profile and try it out!
6. Start a Blog
This is a little more time-consuming for those looking to start a profitable side hustle, but it can be quite lucrative. This is certainly a great option if you’re experienced in a niche and have good writing skills.
7. Sell Photographs Online
Another profitable side hustle idea is to sell photographs online. Many online stock photo sites let you create an account, fill in your payment details, upload photos, and sell them. This is the perfect semi-passive income stream for those looking to start a side hustle. You’ll need to invest some time in taking quality photos, and uploading them for sale. From there you can sit back and collect the profits.
8. Become a Yoga Teacher
We may be biased but we think the best side hustle is to become a kids yoga teacher. You can get certified easily with Pretzel Kids in just 12 hours, thanks to a self-paced online yoga instructor certification.
If you’re into fitness, you love kids, or you’re a mom who is looking for a new way to earn money, Pretzel Kids might be perfect for you!
And just think: You can easily earn more than $1,000 this summer as a kids yoga instructor as Pretzel Kids teachers are in high demand at summer camps, recreation centers, gyms and more! Plus, if you end up loving your side hustle teaching kids yoga, you can turn it from a summer side gig into a long-term career.
9. Buy and Resell Stuff
You can purchase discounted items in wholesale packages for lower than consumer pricing and resell them via Amazon or eBay. This side hustle idea does require an upfront investment, but if you invest wisely, you’ll soon find that this can be one of the more profitable side hustle ideas on this list.
10. Make Stuff to Sell on Etsy
If you’re a crafty person or know how to create digital products, then you may consider using Etsy as your side hustle. Etsy allows you to create a shop where you can easily sell crafts, digital products, and more. It’s free to set up a shop, but you will incur listing fees and other small fees.

11. Help People Move their stuff
Last, but not least, you can start offering services to help people move their stuff. This is an excellent side hustle option for someone with a large truck or access to a moving truck. You’ll also need to be strong enough to lift things and be willing to drive long distances. You can help people move in your spare time and charge a flat-rate plus ask for mileage reimbursement.
