@audreycaprianni: 🔖 bookmark for all the ideas 1️⃣ Content creation Build an audience! Short-form video (Instagram, TikTok), long-form video (YouTube), podcasts (Spotify, Apple), newsletters (Substack). You can monetise via brand deals or your own products Pros: As audience grows, you can quote higher without spending more time on creation. Cons: It takes 6mo+ of consistency (daily, or multiple times a week) to grow to a level that is interesting for brands. 2️⃣ Freelancing Sell a high-leverage skill - the one you already have - or reskill. If you do what you already do as a contractor, it's very possible to yield 2-3x a full time salary. Pros: Can start selling immediately, 1 cold email/DM away. Cons: Eventually capped by time unless you build a team. 3️⃣ Local services Start a local business people want to purchase or visit regularly, here's a bunch: • Premium home & office cleaning • Fitness classes (yoga, running, stretching) • Doggy daycare (pick a niche like oodles!) • Meal deliveries (pick a niche like high-protein, keto, vegan). • Plant rental & maintenance (previous startup I was at paid $1K/mo for rental, and someone to water plants 2x a month) • Corporate DJ • Host corporate events (team dinners, workshops, offsites) 4️⃣ Coaching • Academic tutoring • Gaming (valorant, league) • Fitness (PT) • Nutrition ("diet pal" - text what you eat everyday to keep you accountable) • Accountability (business check ins) • Life coach • Specific tool (how to use Figma, CapCut, Framer, Excel) 5️⃣ Paid communities and clubs Digital options are often hosted on Slack / WhatsApp / Discord groups for a specific niche (e.g. product management, product design, keyboard enthusiasts, anime, cozy gaming etc.). The idea is to have regular news for the audience, community builds friendships through mutual interest, relevant jobs, software discounts. IRL options are things like matcha club, cycling club, run club. Often pay a weekly or per event fee for a meet up. Can do this in partnership with local businesses who may sponsor your events. #businessideas #sidehustle #businessbuilding #incomeideas #sidehustleforbeginners
