Especially if you work a regular job from home.

That sucks. I always treat my bartenders with respect and I wait my damn turn until they help me because I know shit gets busy. Then I tip well, even if they helped someone else first because…shit gets busy and hectic.
I work in IT and I work 2 of those jobs at once.
Been thinking about doing that. Do they know about each other?
No. There’s no benefit to me if they do. It will only potentially serve as an issue for me.
I deliver newspapers and amazon packages in the morning before starting my main job. It basically covers my car payments with a little extra left over.
How do you sign up to deliver amazon packages?
The company I work has a contract with them . I scan them with an app on my phone. I get about 10-15 a day and they are all in the same area as my paper route so it only adds a few minutes to my paper route for an extra $15 or so a day. I live in Atlantic Canada so I can’t really help you unless you live near me.
Real estate photographer. Very predictable and easy to squeeze in, in my spare time. It also pays for all my camera toys.
How did you get into it?
Knew a real estate agent who needed photos, took some and they were good, so I kept taking photos.
I work on my own house. Easily saving a couple hundred k in repairs and remodels (and getting to make sure top to bottom its to my standards).
I did one bathroom and got quoted 40k low end for someone else to do just the tile work
Man, I’m about to undertake a bathroom shower remodel project. 40k is worth learning each step and taking an entire year to do it. Haha.
The time it takes is the biggest downside for sure!
It was cheaper to get hookups and a camper then have someone remodal my shower and get a hotel for the time.
I avoid the hustle and chill
My side hustle is taking care of my kids. Instead of paying me, I just seen to lose money on it.

I got into part-time modelling gigs, thanks to a friend of mine. It was very experimental at first and of course my first few shoots were free, but since the last couple of gigs I have made some decent amount of money . It also kind of helps out people starting their own projects and ventures , where they don’t have to pay hefty fees for photoshoots. Works out good for both parties. On an average, a single gig suffices me with the secondary costs of living for about 2 months.
This is not feasible for 99% of Lemmy. I guarantee it.
I think you’re underestimating the realm !
You know just because it is true doesn’t mean you have to say it.

I make my own hot sauce, sell to friends and acquaintances, don’t do it consistently, but typically have a few people asking when I’ll make some more. Thought about selling at my local farmer’s market, but the process is a bit ridiculous.
I used to do transcription on the side but tech has really killed that in the last few years. Still get a few jobs once in a while but really just do it for fun now more than an actual money making thing.
I do miniature painting commissions. It started out pretty slowly, but it’s picked up momentum and really taken off.
The portfolio page is really lagging, but these pictures helped me get some of my original customers.
I started baking a few months ago and brought my creations into work. Eventually a guy working there brought me on to work very part time making bread for his family restaurant. Really haven’t made much money, it’s just for fun now (yes I do like making custom breads, its a challenge) but I plan to keep with it. I think I can approach the idea of starting a ghost-bakery in a year or two.
Business plan is basically come up with unique items for restaurants with their owners and agree that they are exclusive. I make them a special bread and I don’t sell it to anyone else. They have it, no one else does. I can’t go up against real bakeries and I have no plans to ever even try.
