52 side hustles that I came up with off the top of my head. Most of them require little to no special skill or knowledge. Most hardly require any investment

51 Side Hustles You Can Start Today

We all know that one of the keys to financial freedom is living within your means. Saving more money than you earn is the way to get ahead. And while cutting costs and living on a shoe string budget can get you a long ways, there comes a point in time where there really isn’t anything left to cut. If you want to get ahead, you eventually have to either start earning more money or find a second job. That is where a side hustle comes in.

I am a big big fan of side jobs. Not only can side gigs provide you with additional income, but much of the time, you can actually control how much money you make. You are the boss! Typically, the harder that you work on your side job, the more you are going to bring in – especially if you are working for yourself. Better yet, a side job can turn into something even more. If you hustle hard enough, that side gig you’ve been working on could turn into your full-time career.

Don’t believe me? It has happened to us! We started this blog about 3 years ago. Holly turned writing into a full-time gig within a year. I recently quit my job to work at home on our businesses as well!

Seriously, it can be done. Even if you don’t want to turn your side job into a career, it can still help you to earn some extra cash. And, obviously, the more you make, the easier it becomes to live on a smaller percentage of your income.

Yet, whenever we mention side hustles, we always hear the same things: “I don’t have time. I’m not creative enough. I can’t come up with anything…” The list goes on and on. Well, here are 52 side hustles that I came up with off the top of my head. Most of them require little to no special skill or knowledge. Many of them hardly require any investment. Scroll down the list and see if there are any there that you could try!
