16 Flexible Side Jobs to Make Extra Money in 2025 (and some to avoid)

Amen!! What a great video and testimony! Who seeks shall find ❤

I am also doing house cleaning since 2.5 years ago part time while working for a microchip company full time

I have a green thumb with aloe my sister is always telling me to sell them. Have I listened no 😬

EXCELLENT IDEAS

These are such great suggestions

Awesome ideas

👏👏👏❤

I’ve tried to sell my jewellery on Etsy but haven’t had a lot of luck. It’s quite a unique style of jewellery that not a lot of people know about making. Other than Etsy, are there any other platforms I could try to sell on?

As someone who side hustles on Etsy, I can't suggest Etsy anymore. Unless you do something unusual and it's something people want, and something that isn't easily drop shipped, you will find the competition is fierce and the price is a race to the bottom.
I have two shops, one I run with a friend, and across the two we average four sales a day. That actually puts us in the top about 20% of all shops. That's not a lot of sales.
Plus, Etsy requires a $15 setup fee, and has been known to suspend shops without any warnings, and suspend your listings because somebody copied your photos and put them up on somewhere like temu or AliExpress, where they copied your idea. Then you have to fight to prove you had the idea and they're your photos.

My side hustle is online English language tutoring.

I made the mistake of doing MLMs in my 20s as well, didn’t go well cause I’m an introvert 😂
I run an Etsy shop with crochet items and I’ve been doing that for almost 10 years. That is my “side hustle” while I run an in-home daycare. I love being my own boss 😊

At 75 my side hustle is selling jewelry and art glass from my personal stash along with fun little items I find weekly at two Salvation Army thrift stores in my region.

Private tutoring can be a great side income. I charge around $35 per hour. A lot of times local school districts will have lists of tutors that you can get on in order to find clients. This could still work with a full time job as most of the appointments will be after school time in the evenings.

I'm in Australia and I've been selling on eBay for the last 7 years. I sell second hand goods like clothing, books, shoes and other random items. I source mainly from Thrift Stores, but also from Facebook groups and from junk piles on the side of the road. During Covid I built this up to replace my full-time income (AU$70,000) which disappeared when my job dissolved due to lockdowns. I am back working again, but only casually, as my eBay sales bring in enough income that I have no need (or desire) to return to a full time job.

Am ready to do anything now because I just lost my job

Always like your helful and insightful tips. Thank you Jennifer

I am currently not doing any since moving to Texas 2 years ago and I'm retired. But while in CA, I did many side hauls: babysitting, pet sitting, accounting & organizing home & office paperwork while living in CA for the last 20 years. I also had a Traveling Tea Party business that died during Covid-19.

You can do taxes seasonally. Companies like Jackson Hewitt will train you (they don’t pay you while you train) and you have to get your PTIN certification from the IRS. They always need help. Usually December- mid April

Thanks Jennifer! I’ve done food delivery full time and am still selling on ebay and FB Marketplace on the side. It’s done really well! 👍🏻

UPS hires people during the holidays to help with deliveries. They use their own vehicle to make deliveries and can make $3000-$4000 during the holiday season.

I rent my parking spot and as well, I look after someone’s apartment when they are gone for the winter. It’s easy and not a lot of money but it helps.

Baby sitting

Wonderful video Jennifer!

First of all, I want to say that your side job ideas for 2025 was an interesting video. I learned a lot from it. Can you do a video on saving money for holiday travel/ shopping? Thank you!

Since 2020 I’ve been growing my professional cleaning business as a side gig next to working in IT. So far I’ve been able to have 7 clients which I visit regularly. I’ve been able to make an extra 25% each month! 😊 also it’s a great way to exercise 😂

These are GREAT ideas!! I’m passing this along to my friend who is also looking at ways to supplement her income. You’re awesome, Jennifer! 🎉

This is a very helpful and informative video. You're so good at what you do👍🙂

I did Amazon Flex until I evidently delivered to an off duty cop's residence. He was pulling into the driveway as I was taking a picture of the package, about to walk back to my car. He proceeded to corner me and start accusing me of stealing the package. I reported the inappropriate behavior to Amazon.. Amazon didn't care that my safety was compromised.

Some great tips here! I personally have used the Rover app before for pet sitting however, I do find that things like that. You need to be usually in a bigger city for it to be as lucrative, however, it is a great option to have and you may suggestions for a lot of other fantastic options that I hope are also available in Canada! I am currently in need of extra income as I am self-employed and the economy in Canada has been terrible and affecting my business greatly I will be trying some of these other tips you have mentioned some of them forgot about in my time of stress so this is excellent timing that you have shared this with us all. Thank you so much for your well thought and you were hard work!
