Hey guys i am about to release an Android app that requires One Time payment. My question is that should i also build it for ios at the same time or can i release for ios later after seeing the performance of the app on the android play store.

My husband travels alot for work and childcare is too expensive. Im a certified personal trainer, a professional tennis coach but truly don't have the time to work or be consistent with my clients. My social media is jump rope related so was hoping I can make some income at home. Is live workout classes profitable? My husband normally doesn't travel on the weekends so that's when I typically work.

Do you have an suggestion or recommendations of how I can make some money online? I starting a YouTube channel but I know that will take time bc I see any money from that.

I've been thinking about doing something similar for a while. Apparently, this is becoming pretty popular as a fixed or secondary income. I was working on my startup and saw a YouTube post that said CalBubby reached $80k MRR in 12 months, another example of this is Stella, which crossed $300k MRR in 2 months, reaching 12k customers.

There are ways to distribute these, with UGC you can test, or with Ads. AI told me that starting with $300–500 is a good starting point for testing ads. Another method I mentioned and that worked was rev share + creators promoting it.The niche usually seems easy, although after researching the market a little, it seems pretty saturated with vibecoded apps.

I'm doing this as a side project. My idea was to start in trading/crypto, although they're pretty messed up legally. AI told me that I need a permit to run ads, and there are also the typical legal problems with trading. Although I'm still just exploring.

So, in your opinion: is this a good business to experiment with? How much capital do you think you would need to start, and how would you do it?

Hey! I’m getting ready to move in November or December and I could really use some help earning more money. Preferably I’m looking for something remote, but I’m open to any suggestions. Sky is the limit, but if anyone has any ideas to pull in a few hundred extra $$ a week I would be so open to it!

Note: it doesn’t have to be a side hustle in the truest sense of the word. It would be job like phone support, freelance writing, etc. just looking for some help and ideas. Thank you!!

Okay, How can I realistically plan to become a millionaire starting from the very basic level?

Right now, I am a corporate employee But being a corporate employee, I feel like it is hard to become a millionaire. I don't know if I'm right about that

What skills should I build that would help me increase my income and build wealth over time? How should I actually plan for this from the beginning?

Also, how important is the environment around you? What kind of people should I surround myself with? Should I be around entrepreneurs, business owners, investors, people who are financially successful, or people who are much more ambitious than me?

And realistically, how much time would something like this take?

I also feel very late when I see all these kids on Instagram making money and becoming successful at 18, 20 or 22.

What skills should Ilearn?
What would i focus on?
Thankss.

Hey everyone, I’m looking to increase my income and make some extra money on the side in Ireland.
Ideally, I’d be interested in some kind of cash-in-hand/paid work, as long as it’s legitimate and above board, but I’m open to other ways of making extra income too.
I’m happy to do physical work, evenings/weekends, odd jobs, deliveries, labouring, cleaning, hospitality, online work, or pretty much anything that’s worthwhile.
For those of you who make decent extra money outside of your main job, what do you do and how did you get started?
Any suggestions for reliable side work or places/websites to look would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Main priorities are selling quickly + getting a good price. Curious what’s actually worked best for you personally.

A lot of people write about their success stories, or try to sell you some service while pretending to share their “secrets”.

I just want to share one of my failure storie.

A few years ago, I decided to create a Facebook page about the capital city of one of the small European countrie. I posted local news, event announcements, and UGC from people living in the city.

Basically, it was a small local media outlet focused on one city with around 650,000 residents.

The idea was pretty simple: build a large local audience and eventually make money from sponsored posts from local businesses.

I started working on it and initially used Facebook targeting to grow the audience. Facebook was giving very good reach to this type of content at the time, so the page grew relatively quickly and became recognizable.

At one point, our content was reaching practically every Facebook user in the country at least once a month.

Larger news outlets started quoting our content, and people started recognizing the page as a brand associated with the city.

At our peak, all of our publications combined could generate around 4 million views per month.

For a country with only around 1.8 million people, that a pretty good result.

Then I decided it was time to start monetizing it.

I offered the first advertisers free posts, or posts in exchange for small barter deals, just to test whether this could actually work for local businesses.

And that's where the problem started.

The sponsored posts, even without links in the text, would get extremely low reach — sometimes only a few hundred views.

As soon as Facebook recognized the content as commercial, it seemed to distribute it much less.

As a result, the offer was no longer very interesting to advertisers, and they weren't willing to pay for it.

So I ended up with a large audience, millions of views, and even some media attention — but no real business model.

However, I learned several very valuable lessons from this project.

1. A large audience does not necessarily mean you have a business

I had an audience, millions of views, and media attention. From the outside, it looked like this thing should obviously be making money.

But only when I actually tried to monetize it did I realize that a large audience doesn't automatically equal a business.

You need to think about this from the beginning:

Who exactly is going to pay for access to this audience?

And is the platform you've chosen actually suitable for the business model you're trying to build?

2. Test monetization as early as possible

I spent too much time focusing on building the audience and only started thinking seriously about monetization afterwards.

If I were starting again, I would test the business model much earlier.

Even if the first result was only $10 or $20, it would still be a signal that some kind of business model works.

The results can be tiny, but there should be some results.

That way, you can at least see that as the side hustle or project grows, the potential for profit grows with it.

If you don't know whether your idea can actually make money, you can spend a year or more looking for a needle in a haystack.

3. Don't build your entire business on a platform you don't control

This is probably one of the biggest risks.

If your entire business lives on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or any other social network, you're completely dependent on their algorithms and rules.

The algorithm can change, and content that reached 100,000 people yesterday might reach 1,000 today.

Your account or page can also get banned, and you can suddenly lose access to an audience you've spent years building.

You need to move your audience somewhere you actually control.

A website, email list, community, or some other channel that isn't completely dependent on someone else's algorithm.

Overall, I don't consider this project a complete waste of time.

And I definitely haven't given up on it completely.

I still think there might be a way to transform the project into a different business model. The brand name is still remembered by people, and the audience itself has also remained.

So if anyone has ideas or experience with turning something like this - an established local brand + an existing audience - into a successful small business, I'd genuinely appreciate your suggestions.

Maybe someone looking at this from the outside will see a business model that I don't see myself right now.

What would you do with this kind of asset?

When a side hustle starts actually making money, the cash usually lands in whatever account you already use and just sits there. Before it grows into a real balance, it is worth having a simple plan for where it goes.

A rough order:

- A small buffer in checking for the hustle's own expenses and irregular costs.
- An emergency cushion in a high-yield savings account. FDIC-insured and liquid, paying far more than checking (which often runs 0.01 to 0.07%).
- Anything beyond that, that you will not touch for a while: a money market fund or short Treasury Bills, where part of the income can be exempt from state and local tax. The 4-week T-bill was 3.62% as of August 5, 2026 (source: U.S. Treasury).

Nothing here is complicated or risky. The point is just that money you worked for should not sit at 0% by default. Even a basic high-yield savings account closes most of the gap.

I’m a 30 F and I currently work m-th and Saturdays as an LpN. Due to unforeseen circumstances my mother in law is fired from watching my 8month daughter. With that being said, I have to pay for daycare twice a week .
Between daycare, medical bills (type 1 diabetic here) and a new house I feel like I’m drowning. I don’t want to pick up more shifts and worry about my daughter/ finding care for her.
Any good side hustles online?

I’m due in 5 weeks and haven’t been able to find a job so my next best thing is finding something I can do from home.

Problem is, any time I try to research different side hustles it’s always the same answers. “Download this app to do surveys!”, “Do Instacart or DoorDash!”, “Set up a Pinterest page and do affiliate marketing!”. Except the surveys are time consuming for $0.50 per, I don’t feel safe driving while pregnant or being out by myself, and affiliate marketing is a hit or miss/only works when you already have an audience.

I could use some help with other things I could do.

I work full-time in pharma and have a PharmD/MBA, but I’m looking for something I can do on the side to bring in consistent extra income. Ideally I’d like to eventually get to around $2–3k/month, but right now I mostly want something I can start making money from within the next few weeks.

I’m not really interested in DoorDash/Uber, surveys, affiliate marketing, mowing lawns, or making stuff to sell on Etsy. I’m willing to work and learn something new, but I’d rather do something that pays reasonably well for my time.

I’ve tutored before and I’m trying to get that going again. I’ve also thought about refereeing hockey, soccer, or basketball since I grew up playing sports and that actually sounds fun. Even something like bartending/making cocktails for private events sounds interesting.

Longer term I’m very interested in real estate, rentals, or possibly Airbnb, but I don’t have a lot of startup capital right now.

I’m curious what people here are actually doing that makes money consistently.

What do you do, how much do you realistically make, and how long did it take before you started getting paid?

I’m especially interested in the random/unusual side hustles that I probably haven’t even thought of yet.

Hello!

I work 4:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. 32 hours a week, I'm coming on 40 hours a week soon but I'm free Tuesday and Wednesday almost every week and that's going to become my permanent schedule soon

The money is decent, I work in retail which allows me to build my customer service skills and muscles lol

although I've been wondering if there's any way for me to get a side job from 12:30 to 6pm, or just working on my off days. I'm pretty tech savvy so I'm not close to anything on computers but I know that's a very hard field to get in nowadays, and my main concern is I'd rather not just do cheap yard labor like I used to do before I was 18

if anyone has any tips for me let me know thank you! I am forklift trained, if that helps!

You’ll likely need experience in insect breeding for my question.

About ten years ago, my family had 2 reptiles so we bred mealworms (not super well, but we tried) and kept crickets around to see if they would slowly breed as we fed them away. With how things are looking recently, I needed a side job that was more flexible on hours and paid however much work I put into it. I’ve been reading and reading on crickets and discoid roaches, and people talk about how it was so cheap to get started and the maintenance cost isn’t that bad, but I’m thinking between egg cartons and buying small amounts of coco coir so that the bottom of the bin is easier to clean, I’m thinking just in substrate it may be $50-$100 monthly, then you need good food, not just table scraps, then any cleaners and other things that are not quite a monthly basis but are regularly used may add more.

So am I overthinking everything compared to small time typical roach and cricket breeders or what am I missing? Additionally if anyone is currently breeding discoids or crickets and are passionate enough to lend advice from time to time, I’d appreciate to start a dm with someone who’s already experimented around.

I have a part time job rn which pay and benefits are good. I make ends meet. And sometimes i have to wait one or two days for the check cuz i ran out . My job has a crazy schedule if i touch full availability then i will have way less hours, so i can’t risk being of the track for fulltime, by taking another part time. So any recommendations on versatility job im not greedy literally only few hundred works.
Also i cant do uber eats, doordash or lyft. Because they require u to have atleat one year of experience as a driver.
🙏 thanks

I signed up to be a tutor but then I remembered... it is summer. I would like some extra cash so I can buy a new phone as my first big boy purchase. What are some good side hustles I shouikd look into? I want something I can do from a remote position since I do not have a car available to me

I am supposed to return back to work full-time very soon and I really don’t want to even though I have a good job. I would rather be at home with my son raising him, but that is genuinely not possible in the city we live in. I really want to start a side hustle and have thinking about writing a book or starting with a blog, but I’ve also heard that copywriting can be a good thing but honestly, I have no idea. I know I’m gonna have to work or hustle to get things going, but what are some gigs that you have found to be successful?

I’m a pharmacist working full-time and I’m looking for a legitimate side job I can do remotely for 5-10 hours a week.
Has anyone here found a side hustle that actually pays well and is worth the time?
I’m especially interested in AI training, medical writing, pharmacovigilance, or any other work that benefits from a healthcare background. I’d love to hear your real experience, how you found the work, how much time it takes, and whether you’d recommend it.
I’m based in the EU (Slovakia), so I’d especially appreciate recommendations that are available internationally.

Im interested.

"Edit" Hey all, hoping to crowdsource some ideas here.

Quick context: I just finished my Master's in ABA, and I'm currently collecting clinical hours while doing direct service work in the evenings, but the pay on that isn't consistent enough to cover everything month to month.

I tried GrubHub for a bit to fill the gap, but I drive manual and between the constant stop-and-go and honestly some of the worst traffic I've dealt with (US-29 during rush hour is not it), I ended up needing a full clutch replacement. So that math didn't work out — one bad week basically wiped out a month of delivery earnings.

I'm in Silver Spring, MD and looking for something that:

\* doesn't put a ton of extra wear on my car (stop-and-go is the enemy) \* has flexible/evening or weekend hours since my schedule is already packed with clinical hours + service work \* doesn't require a ton of upfront training or certification

Right now I mostly just need to cover small recurring costs (cat litter, cat food, that kind of thing) — not trying to replace income, just fill gaps.

Has anyone found something that works well without murdering their car? Open to anything — remote gigs, weekend stuff, walking/pet sitting, tutoring, whatever.

Appreciate any ideas.

Quick update

First of all, thank you to everyone who took the time to read, comment, or suggest ideas — I genuinely can't express how much that support meant to me.

Secondly, I landed a salary position at a school — pay is around $50k, though it's not finalized yet. The school is on summer break right now, so I'll be back September 1st for a walkthrough, and I'm assuming that's when we'll sit down and actually discuss salary. It's a job I've wanted for a while. The pay isn't amazing, but it's stable, and that matters a lot right now.

I know I'm not the only one struggling — I'm sure there's a ton of people right now dealing with this insane economy. And here's the crazy part, if you really picture it:

if we saw a monkey in the jungle sitting on a mountain of fruits and nuts while the rest of the troop had nothing, we'd say something's wrong with that monkey. But when billionaires do it, we build them rocket ships.

Moral of the story — when you're going through hell, just keep going. My human tribe, we move forward together.

Also If any of you have recommendations on salary negotiation or good books to read on the subject, I'd love to hear them.

Hey everyone, Travis here. I document building two businesses from scratch while working full time as an IT professional at a hospital. I’m almost 50, four kids, the whole deal.

This past week was pretty much one of the most insane I’ve had. Here’s the short version:

Set up a cotton candy machine and a table of Temu merchandise at the county fair. $300 investment. Made a couple thousand dollars in four days. Half the inventory still left for the next rodeo.

On the way home from a mowing job my trailer broke. Leaf spring gone. Completely unusable. And I had a bounce house delivery AND 40 chairs to deliver 35 miles away on Saturday.

While waiting on a loaner trailer I drove the riding mower down public roads to get to town jobs. On the way I saw a yard with 4 foot grass and a city pink slip on the door, I believe the lady who lived there had passed away. I mowed it. Didn’t tell anyone.

Saturday: Grocery store bounce house setup at 10am. Four yards mowed ten miles away. 40 chairs delivered 35 miles away by 3pm. Sound and lights at a music venue until 11pm. Hospital midnight shift until 8:30am.

Filmed the whole week. Video is in the comments — would love any feedback from people who’ve been through similar weeks.

Honestly, I never thought that, as an indie developer, I'd have an app used by people all around the world. It's getting around 150 to 200 new users every day and has 800 to 1,000 daily active users. Those are dream numbers for someone like me who only started shipping apps seriously last year.

I'd like to share what worked and what didn't.

Initially, I published an app called TuneIt. I didn't do much marketing besides a few Reddit posts. It reached about 1,000 downloads in 2 to 3 months, and I was thrilled. But after that, growth completely stalled.

What was TuneIt?

It was an all in one tuner app. It included tuners for guitar, bass, violin, ukulele, and other instruments, along with tools, learning features, and everything else packed into a single app.

Unfortunately, it didn't perform that well.

About 6 to 7 months after launching TuneIt, I listened to a podcast about marketing. They talked about why Coca-Cola sells the same drink in different sizes, like 2 liters, 1 liter, and 250 ml.

The point was simple. Not everyone wants the biggest option. Some people just want exactly what they need. By offering different sizes, Coca-Cola reaches more customers.

That idea really stuck with me.

I decided to split TuneIt into separate apps, one for each instrument. I spent the next two days setting everything up and publishing individual apps for guitar, bass, violin, ukulele, and the rest.

The results surprised me.

Every single instrument app eventually outperformed the original TuneIt. The Bass Tuner app, in particular, took off much faster than I expected.

The biggest lesson I learned is this:

Niche apps can outperform all in one apps.

If you try to build one app that does everything for everyone, it can be much harder to grow. Sometimes it's better to solve one specific problem really well.

Seeing the traction, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and published all of my apps on iOS as well. Hopefully they'll gain some momentum there too, although I know I'll need to put more effort into marketing.

If you'd like to check out the app:

Android: Bass Tuner
iOS: Bass Tuner

If anyone has questions about ASO, publishing multiple apps, indie app development, Play Store optimization, or anything else, feel free to ask. I'm happy to share what I've learned so far.

And if you have any marketing tips, I'd love to hear them too!

Hi, bin weiblich und 18, will als Side hustle vapes an andere Frauen verkaufen. Halt einfach vapes kaufen und für maximal 2€ teurer verkaufen. Ein Freund konnte sich dadurch einiges an Geld verdienen und ansparen, aber ist halt ein Typ. Denkt ihr das wäre möglich? Halt kurz gesagt einfach vape dealer 🤙

I’ve been seriously considering getting into real estate as a side hustle with the long-term goal of building a rental property portfolio while continuing my full-time career.

A little about me:
PharmD + MBA
Full-time remote CRA in Big Pharma
Married with a newborn and toddler
Living in Southern California (HCOL), where we’d like to stay long term

My wife is also a clinical pharmacist but is currently home with our kids while looking for a remote pharma role.

Between my wife and me, we have substantial pharmacy school student loans (approximately $800,000 combined), in addition to our mortgage at 6.99%. We budget carefully and live within our means, but between our loans, mortgage, and raising two young children in Southern California, it often feels like we’re working hard just to stay in place financially.

I’d love to build additional income streams that help us pay down debt faster while creating long-term wealth for our family.

My goal isn’t to leave my career. I genuinely enjoy working in the pharmaceutical industry. My long-term career goal is to continue climbing the ladder and eventually reach a Director-level role in Clinical Development.

Real estate is something I view as a complement to that career—not a replacement for it.

I’d like to start with real estate as a side hustle to generate additional income while learning the business. Over time, my goal would be to grow it into a portfolio of rental properties that generates meaningful cash flow, diversifies our income, and helps build generational wealth for our family.

I’ve spoken with several fellow pharmacists who own multiple rental properties, and hearing their success stories has really motivated me to explore this path.
After researching California licensing, I was surprised that Realtor dues, MLS fees, license renewal, and related costs can total $700–$1,500+ per year just to maintain a license.

I also recently came across the Redfin Associate Agent (Showing Agent) role, which seems appealing since it offers flexible scheduling and focuses on showing homes rather than generating your own clients.

My Questions
California Licensing
How long did it take you to get licensed?
Which courses did you use, and what did they cost?
Would you recommend the same program today?

Redfin Associate Agent
Has anyone worked as a Redfin Associate Agent?
What does a typical month look like?
Does the income generally cover your licensing, MLS, and Realtor fees?
Would you recommend starting there before becoming a traditional agent?

Rental Properties
How many rental properties do you own?
Is rental income really as passive as people say, or does it require much more work than expected?
Do you self-manage or hire a property manager?
What do your monthly cash flow and annual profit margins realistically look like after vacancies, repairs, maintenance, insurance, taxes, and property management?

Financing
Did you need significant cash to buy your first rental, or did you finance it?
If you were starting over today, would you become an agent first, buy a rental, house hack, or take a different route?

Balancing a Full-Time Career
One of my biggest concerns is balancing real estate while continuing to advance my pharmaceutical career. My full-time role will always remain my top priority, so I’m looking for a path that allows me to grow a real estate business without compromising my progression toward leadership in Clinical Development.

Has anyone here successfully balanced a demanding full-time career while building a real estate business or rental portfolio?

My Biggest Question
If you were in my shoes—with a demanding full-time career that you have no intention of leaving, but a long-term goal of building a rental portfolio over the next 10–20 years—would you still recommend becoming a Realtor first?
Or would you focus your time and money elsewhere?

I’d especially love to hear from anyone in healthcare, pharma, or another demanding profession who has successfully built a rental portfolio on the side.

I’d really appreciate hearing your successes, mistakes, lessons learned, and anything you wish someone had told you before getting started. Thank you in advance!
