@allies.6.months: 5 side hustles I’m ACTUALLY testing so you don’t have to! 💸👇 I’m a mom of 3 and a teacher on maternity leave, giving myself 6 months to see which side hustles can ACTUALLY make money. Here’s what I’m trying and how you can start too! 1. UGC (User-Generated Content) 🎥 Create product videos for brands without needing a huge following! 📱 Start: Make 3–5 sample videos with products you own. Build a free Canva portfolio and explore platforms like Trybe or Billo. 💰 My experience: 25+ videos created on Trybe, $25 earned so far. Learning that getting accepted doesn’t always mean getting paid! 2. Amazon Influencer 📦 Earn commissions by reviewing products you already own. 📱 Start: Apply to the Amazon Influencer Program using your social media account. If approved, learn the requirements for earning through onsite review videos. 💰 My experience: Building my video library with a goal of 100 reviews! 3. Digital Products 🖥️ Create planners, printables, worksheets, or templates and sell them online. 📱 Start: Design something useful in Canva and list it on Etsy or Teachers Pay Teachers. 💰 My experience: I’ve made sales on Teachers Pay Teachers! Etsy has been slower. Getting traffic is the hard part. 4. Vinted Reselling 👗 Turn clothes sitting in your closet into extra cash! 📱 Start: Take clear pictures of 10–15 items, including their tags, and batch-list them on Vinted. 💰 My experience: One of the easiest to start! With three kids, there’s always something to sell. 😂 5. Amazon KDP 📚 Create notebooks, journals, or planners that Amazon prints and ships for you! 📱 Start: Design an original notebook using Canva, format it, and publish through Amazon KDP. 💰 My experience: Just launched my Mom Brain Dump notebook! Now testing whether it actually sells. ✨ THE BIG QUESTION: Which ones are actually worth the time? That’s what I’m spending 6 months figuring out! Some are making money, some aren’t, and I’m sharing ALL of it. No courses. No fake success stories. Just a mom trying to make some extra money. 😂 💗 SAVE this list if you’re thinking about starting a side hustle, and FOLLOW to see which ones actually pay off! #SideHustleIdeas #SideHustleJourney #MakeExtraMoney #UGCCreator #AmazonInfluencer
