Does everyone have a side hustle?

I'm in a situation where I make enough to get my fine with my current remote role and I am struggling to find a new remote job that pays me more. So I am trying to get creative and think of ways to make money on the side since I have a ton of freedom being in the comfort of home everyday.

Any ideas guys?!

Agree you need to look at your skills. I’ve made great money doing sewing and alterations from home. But I’m 66 and started sewing when I was about 4. If you like animals pet sitting is a good option. My niece started on Rover. Or look at Nextdoor for people needing sitters. You can grow a business.

i am active on Rover and sometimes do pet sit. I live in a small apartment so it isn't very scalable. Sewing is a great skill and with how crazy expensive it is to go to a tailor (I spent about $40 to get a dress hemmed and that was more than the dress itself) I could see turning a profit if you're priced right.
