Ask most folks at any age about extra cash, and they will tell you that they could use a little.
That is why the side hustle is a popular thing. Other words for it are the side gig or side job.
It’s a way of earning extra money in addition to having a full-time job.
Some side hustles are so clever and can do the work for you even when you’re trying to get a little rest and relaxation.
Here are our favorite side hustles while you kick back on vacation.
-
Rent Out Your Wheels
That’s right. You can rent out your vehicle when you are not using it. It’s a genius idea, and there are websites that help you set it up. You can turn your car into a second paycheck with no driving necessary. How cool is that?
Especially around the holidays, travelers visiting your city may need some wheels to get around. You can go on vacation and have the side hustle in action.
These ride-sharing websites also provide something crucial to the program. Every trip includes $1,000,000 in insurance and 24/7 roadside assistance.
Drivers are screened to make sure they have a safe driving record.
-
Influence Social Media
If you enjoy hanging out online and catching up with social media, consider starting your own Instagram or YouTube page and become an influencer.
Maybe you are experienced with beauty products, or you enjoy taking off for exotic destinations.
An influencer has credibility, can engage with their audience, show off lots of photos and keep their followers up to date on new happenings no matter where they are based in the world.
Let brands know you’re open to collaborations, and little by little, you build a network, rake in free stuff and can supplement your income on your own time.
-
Sell It On Poshmark
People love buying great-looking used clothing, especially from designer brands. Set up a Poshmark account from home before you head on vacation with their free app. It is super simple to do. Just take a photo and upload it to your Poshmark closet in less than 60 seconds right from your phone.
If someone is loving your clothing closet and wants to buy pieces you’re selling, the next step is easy. Poshmark sends you a pre-paid shipping label, and you’ll get cash in your pocket when the item is delivered.
You could be glamping in Maine and wooing buyers at the same time. When you get back home, ship out the items you’ve sold, and pocket some extra cash.
-
Rent Your Place
Think about it. Instead of leaving your house sitting empty the next time you go away, you could put it on the list as a vacation rental.
Do your homework first, and discuss it with your insurance agent. Find out if anything would be covered if a renter damaged your property or your belongings. Also, have a security deposit in place in case of damages.
There are online websites that offer do-it-yourself rental services, and remember, great photos attract the eye and are the first impression for potential guests.
As long as you’re prepared, having strangers in your home for a brief rental period can bring in a nice wad of cash.
-
Rent Out Your Garage
This another easy and profitable side hustle that doesn’t take much effort. Make sure your garage is clean, de-cluttered and that the garage door is functioning properly.
Maybe you have space for someone who needs to store their motorcycle for the winter. There are websites that help you set up an ad that lists your garage’s location, space available, price and any extras that go with it such as electricity, lighting, heat, etc.
Space is hard to come by, and someone in your area could benefit by sharing some space in your garage and storing their classic car there.
If you’re looking to supplement your income, then a side hustle not only puts extra cash in your pocket, but you can achieve it with minimal time invested. If you have the determination, the money will follow you.
