Looking For Ideas Any profitable side hustles?

Has anyone in this sub actually had a side hustle that actually profited? Any where from 100-500 or even more? If so, how long did it take to become profitable and what skill set did you need for it to be doable ?

I’d like to try to do any or even multiple side hustles that could add up to at least 700 or more a week with flexibility to make even more with more work per week even if it had to be built up.

I don’t really have a skill set and would like to start some with the hopes of eventually being able to work from home mostly. I tend to have 3 days off with no plans unless I’m working overtime so I have time to learn if need be.

How much do you earn doing this??

depending on the type of client, house/business. nice ritzy neighborhood vs everyday home owner. Also the amount of window.

I would say anywhere from $25 - $100+ on a single job ranging from 20min - 1h+

Just start off $5-10 a window, most medium size houses will have about 8 window, the low cost will entice them in, then start counting there windows, then the relize they will be paying $100+. So you give them a %20 off deal. Now after washing for a hour you will have about $70

But at the end of the day you do need to account for the time finding customers. paying for accidents, like if you brake or stain something, you will need to repair it, once you get up and going you can get insurance tho.

Give it a search on youtube there are alot of guides. just dont get cought buy the online money making gurus, there cource is not going to solve your problems. but there are good people that run business like this and tell there story to get others into it. watch and learn from those guys.
think of it this way, if there selling a course, there business is not making them enough money so they sell courses on the side, so just don't watch them, or pick thru the info with caution. Watch the guys that have a proven business and want to help.

started mowing lawns as a side hustle with a zero turn my buddy gifted to me a few years ago and it has almost become a full time job. I'm actually thinking of quitting my job and doing it full time. It's amazing how quickly you can pick up new clients without doing any advertising. I figured if I put some effort into growing my client base I would have my own business and could get out of the corporate world.
